Run Rasterizor
===================

Rasterizor is a QGIS plugin used to rasterize FLO-2D output data. It is a quick mapping tool for FLO-2D output files.
The files should have a standard format with 4 columns ge, x, y, n. These are grid element number, x coordinate,
y coordinate, and n is the mapped value. It could be water surface elevation, depth, velocity or time to depth.
A brief list of files that can be used are:

* DEPFP.OUT
* DEPTH.OUT
* VELFP.OUT
* TIMEONEFT.OUT
* MAXWSELEV.OUT
* Many others

All FLO-2D output files are listed and described in the Chapter 5 of the Data Input Manual.
It is installed on your computer with the software.
