FigureGen Overview

FigureGen is a Fortran program that creates images for ADCIRC files. It reads mesh files, nodal attributes files, and output files; and plots contours, contour lines, and vectors. Use FigureGen to go directly from ADCIRC input and output files to presentation-quality figures, for one or multiple time snaps.
