comparison. The GUI allows users to plot three different graphs at one time in order to directly<br />

compare ch aracteristics. The GUI also outputs the maximums and minimums <strong>of</strong> each data set.<br />

The incoming data can then be compared for both the positive and negative vortex include the<br />

age <strong>of</strong> the vortex, spatial coordinates, circulation strength, likeness, advection, and sink rate. The<br />

user is allowed to pick the dependent and independent variable for each data set and then has the<br />

option to save the view <strong>of</strong> the GUI under a title <strong>of</strong> their choosing. An image <strong>of</strong> the GUI before<br />

the data has been imported can be seen in Figure 1.<br />

Figure 1 : T he G UI Without D ata. This is a screenshot <strong>of</strong> the GUI before any data has been<br />

imported. As can be seen, the user is asked to first import a data set and is then able to choose<br />

between variables for plotting. The labels for the graph become visible only after the user has<br />

chosen the variables.<br />

After the data has been imported the user can plot up to three different data sets on the same plot. In the<br />

following example however, only two data sets have been used to compare the circulation strength decay<br />

<strong>of</strong> the positive and negative vortex. This is shown in Figure 2.<br />
