HydroDesktop Quick Start Guides

• HydroDesktop_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf - With a 15-minute walkthrough, this document illustrates how to discover, access, visualize and export hydrologic time series data using HydroDesktop. If you are a new HydroDesktop user, read this guide to get started.
• Unpublished Web Services Tutorial.pdf - This tutorial will help you access web services from a HydroServer not registered with HIS Central.
• HydroDesktop Workshop Exercise - This more advanced exercise was developed by Tim Whiteaker and includes two parts - using HydroDesktop to search and download data, and also using the R plugin in HydroDesktop
• Creating and Sharing a Sample Project - This tutorial shows how to share your HydroDesktop data and analysis results by creating an online sample project package that can be installed by all HydroDesktop users.

• Interpolate Precipitation - Elbe Watershed - This tutorial will help you create a raster map of precipitation using inverse distance weighted interpolation and calculate total precipitation in a watershed. (you can also download the tutorial in Word)

Testing Procedures for HydroDesktop

• Testing procedures are available here

Extension Developer Tutorial

This exercise shows how to extend and customize HydroDesktop functionality by developing an extension in c#. HydroDesktop uses the DotSpatial framework for its map operations. Any plug-in written for DotSpatial will also work with HydroDesktop. Use the link How to Create an Extension for a quick start tutorial. Download Sample Extension Source Code here.

Getting HydroDesktop Source Code

• See Getting HydroDesktop for detailed instructions how to get the latest HydroDesktop source code

HydroDesktop Developer Documentation

• The Developer Documentation will contain a detailed description of the HydroDesktop classes, database abstraction layer, web service components and plug-in interface.
• Automated Build System (log in a guest), search for HydroDesktop Project:
• Slides demonstrating the current overall structure, design and architecture of the HydroDesktop source code. The following presentation discusses the currently used and proposed approach for communicating with web services and databases. Arrows in the slide represent the flow of data. The other two images are class diagrams of the HydroDesktop object model and the database abstraction layer.
• HydroDesktop Architecture Overview
• Class diagram of the HydroDesktop object model
• Class diagram of the database access layer
• Updating DotSpatial DLLs in HydroDesktop
  
  • Use CreateDotSpatial.bat to upload new DotSpatial Nuget packages (see above for instructions).
  • Use HDReferenceFixer.exe to automatically change DotSpatial references not to make local copies.

HydroDesktop/MW Coding Conventions

• Please adhere to the coding conventions listed here when working on HydroDesktop:
• http://www.mapwindow.org/wiki/index.php/MapWindow6:CodeConventions

HydroModeler

• HydroModeler is a plug-in to HydroDesktop that allows for component-based modeling of hydrologic systems that is being prototyped by researchers at the University of South Carolina. The emphasis of HydroModeler is on standards-based data transfer between the HIS and models using the Open Modeling Interface (OpenMI).  The motivation for HydroModeler is to provide an environment that supports community-based model development.  To learn more about HydroModeler, please see the HydroModeler help files installed with HydroDesktop or email Jon Goodall (goodall@cec.sc.edu).
