UM-21 : Generation of hydrological graphs using computer graphics

Abstract

'GRAPHICS' is describing an object in a vivid form. In hydrology, normally the relationship between two variables is plotted in the form of curves. It has been observed that the visual communication through the medium of graphics presentation is an essential part of hydrology. The saying that "one picture is worth a thousand words" is very true in the computing field, where a picture is more valuable than several yards of line printer output. This is all the more true if a scientist has to interpret the output and take further action on it with the computer. Further, for a given application, graphics offer the most appropriate form which is descriptive and at the same time compact.

The, report describes the computer programme developed to draw the graph using PLOT 10 IGL, between different sets of data or function.
