1. HYPLOT

2. Plotting Smooth Sheets: HYPLOT  Interface similar to HYPACK ®.  Plots all background files.  Import of Graphics (such as company logo).  Plot text.  Plot Color bar, Compass Rose and Scale Bar.  Preview plot by zooming.  WYSIWYG. (What You See Is What You Get).  Plot to any Windows ® based printer/plotter.  User can save sheet settings and apply them to other plotting sheets.  User defined title blocks. NOTE: HYPLOT can print your smooth sheets, or save them to PDF or GeoTIF for future printing, or sending to clients.

3. Running HYPLOT  HYPLOT requires a plotting sheet.  Create a plotting sheet. (Preparation – Editors – Plotting Sheet Editor). On the Training DVD, See ‘Shell Editors – Plotting Sheet Editor’On the Training DVD, See ‘Shell Editors – Plotting Sheet Editor’  Run HYPLOT: Click on Final Products – HYPLOT. If there is more than one plotting sheet (*.PLT file) in your project, HYPLOT will prompt you to choose one.If there is more than one plotting sheet (*.PLT file) in your project, HYPLOT will prompt you to choose one. If you do not have a plotting sheet in your project, HYPLOT will exitIf you do not have a plotting sheet in your project, HYPLOT will exit.

5. Save and Load Template Settings  Save: Saves the position and status of all objects (title blocks, rules, graphics, north arrows, etc.) and writes the information to a plotting ‘Template’ file.Saves the position and status of all objects (title blocks, rules, graphics, north arrows, etc.) and writes the information to a plotting ‘Template’ file.  Load: Allows you read a plotting ‘Template’ file and apply the settings to any plotting sheet.Allows you read a plotting ‘Template’ file and apply the settings to any plotting sheet. Advantage: You don’t have to keep re-designing the same plotting sheet layout. Do it one time and save it to a template file. Then load the template file the next time you create a new plotting sheet.

6. Enabling Data and Project Files  Files enabled in the HYPACK ® Shell will be enabled in HYPLOT.  Simply right-click to enable or disable your data and project files inside HYPLOT as you would in HYPACK ®.  What you see on your preview screen is what will plot.

7. Changing Plotting Parameters  Borders  Colorbar  Compass  Grids  Import of Graphics  Matrix  North Arrow  Planned Lines  Ruler  Soundings  Targets  Text  Title Blocks  Tracklines  Chart Options Click the Menu Item ‘Settings – Control Panel’ or hit the F9 key to change any of the Plotting Parameter settings.

8. Control Panel - Borders Choose: Border StyleBorder Style Line WeightLine Weight Border ColorBorder Color Note: Some Border Styles already have projection labels. If so, you will want to disable the Project Grid labeling to prevent confusing labels.

9. Border Styles Border Options: No Border, Single, Double, Double w/Title Block Area, IHO, Chinese JTJ-203, Russian National Border, NY Corps of Engineers, Norfolk USACE.

11. HYPLOT: NY COE BORDER Automatically scales to sheet width

12. Moving Objects Once you have placed an object on the plot, take the arrow tool to move it into its final position.

13. Control Panel – Color Bar  The Color Bar acts as a legend to interpret depth colors. (If you’re plotting in black and white, don’t bother!)  You can choose:  The position of the Color Bar on the plotting sheet.  Set the size of the Color Bar cells and labels.  Plot or don’t plot.

14. Control Panel - Compass  Alignment: Geodetic or Grid North  Change the size of the Compass Rose!

16. Latitude Longitude Grids Both Local and WGS-84 Available on Same Plot  Separate options for: WGS-84WGS-84 Local datumLocal datum  Label Format: Ddd.dddddddDdd.ddddddd Ddd mm.mmmmmDdd mm.mmmmm Ddd mm ss.sssDdd mm ss.sss  Auto Font Size: Proportions label size to fit border.Proportions label size to fit border.

17. Control Panel – Import of Graphics  You can import graphics (BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF, PNG, etc.) into HYPLOT.  Graphics can maintain their aspect ratio when re-sizing.

18. Control Panel - Matrix  This panel allows you to plot: Matrix borderMatrix border Matrix depth colorsMatrix depth colors BothBoth  You can plot: Dredge depthDredge depth Survey depthSurvey depth DifferenceDifference

19. Control Panel – North Arrow  North Arrows: Select from several types  North Arrows: Select from several types. North arrows are currently aligned to grid north.

20. Control Panel – Planned Lines  Options to: Draw lines.Draw lines. Label lines.Label lines. Change font and color size.Change font and color size.

21. Control Panel – Ruler (aka Scale Bar) The Ruler shows the scale of your plotting sheet. Ruler

22. Control Panel - Soundings The Soundings options in HYPLOT are the same as those in the HYPACK SHELL. The settings are independent from those in the HYPACK SHELL.

23. These options determine:  Whether to plot target labels.  Font  Size  Color Control Panel - Targets

24. Control Panel - Text  Allows for multiple text lines  Allows for a box to be drawn around the text.

25. All previous blocks still available! Add from Template Folder, customize for your Plot Project. Create your own Title Block Templates Control Panel – Title Blocks

26. Title Block Editor  Create new title blocks or edit existing title blocks.  Each title block consists of a series of ‘blocks’ that can contain text or a graphic.  ‘Snap to Grid’ and ‘Ruler’ aid you in lining up your blocks.  The ‘Title Block’ can be saved and applied to any plotting sheet.

31. HYPLOT Plotting Options (Important for large sheets.) Default Mode for plots with Raster data (TIF, BSB,…) Default Mode for plots with no Raster data (S57 is OK!). Faster! Set your plot resolution for raster plots (needed if your plotter can’t handle Gigabytes of info…) We recommend you try “Direct Plot”. It’s a lot faster. Most plotters can handle it. Some plotters cannot. The more memory onboard your plotter, the quicker the results.

32. HYPLOT: Send it to the Printer Device

33. Export Options  Export to DXF, DWG, TIF and PDF  PDF has option for small raster format, and a larger Vector format with separate layers and higher detail but output can be slow  Both TIF and PDF exports are georeferenced.

34. HYPLOT TO DXF

35. HYPLOT: Export to DXF  Great for: Sheet borders Lat-Long grids Title blocks Compass rose Color bars Rulers User-defined text Blocks User-input graphics User-designed title blocks.  Does not convert: Some raster and vector background charts.

36. HYPLOT Export Options Output plotting sheet info to DXF, DGN, DWG, GeoTIF or GeoReferenced PDF. Limited DXF options allow only the naming of layers and little else.
