*******************************************************************************
Reverse Flood Outlook Product (RFOP) PGen XML to fop ASCII translator
*******************************************************************************
RFOP converts a PGen XML NWS Flood Outlook Product file into an ASCII NWS
Flood Outlook Product file. Unfilled closed lines are assumed to be
areas of possible flooding, hatch filled areas are assumed to be areas
of likely flooding, solid fill areas are assumed to be areas of
imminent or occurring flooding.
INPUT PARAMETERS
java -jar rfop.jar input_filename [output_filename]
rfop Program name
input_filename XML file to be converted
[output_filename] output ASCII file, optional paramter. If this parameter
is not specified, then the output file name will be equal
to the input name without ".xml" extension. I the input
file name does not have ".xml" extension, then ".txt" will
be added to the file name instead.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
RFOP scans an XML file and generates a text description of each line.
The output file format is:
NWS NATIONAL FLOOD OUTLOOK PRODUCT yymmdd/hhmm
line1npts category valid_dates
lon1, lat1
lon2, lat2
lon3, lat3
...
lonN, latN
line2npts category valid_dates
...
Flood categories are:
0 - flooding possible
1 - flooding likely
2 - flooding occurring or imminent
EXAMPLES
If the XML file 'testfile.xml' contained a single 4-point line with
no fill, then the output would look like:
NWS NATIONAL FLOOD OUTLOOK PRODUCT 020321/1223
5 0 Mar 21 - Mar 23
45.53 -69.08
44.40 -67.62
44.11 -67.51
45.22 -69.02
45.53 -69.08
If the VGF file 'testfile.xml' contained a single 5-point line with
solid fill, then the output would look like:
NWS NATIONAL FLOOD OUTLOOK PRODUCT 020321/1223
6 2 Mar 21 - Mar 23
45.53 -69.08
44.40 -67.62
44.11 -67.51
45.22 -69.02
45.39 -70.07
45.53 -69.08
