In the **Results tab**, click the **Time Series** button. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5074bc26-a9ef-4bf4-b1de-a5c6ce628aca/Images/Documentation/plotresultstsurban.png) The **Time Series Selection (Urban Results)** window will open. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5074bc26-a9ef-4bf4-b1de-a5c6ce628aca/Images/Documentation/urbantimeseries.png) Note:This window can also be accessed by right-clicking on one of your selected nodes (in the **map** view or in the **1D Urban Network** panel), then selecting **Time Series** from the menu. Specify your plot settings as listed below. #### Select nodes The **Node/Item Selection** tab will be shown by default. This list displays all nodes/links available for plotting from your active 1D urban network. Tick the checkbox(es) of the nodes/links you would like to plot. Three things to make this easier: - Select one or multiple nodes/links in your urban network before clicking the **Time Series** button and these will automatically populate the **Selected Items** list. You may find this page on [Selecting multiple nodes](/v1/docs/how-to-select-multiple-nodes) helpful. - A **Search Box** is provided to easily locate nodes/link within the **Node/Item Selection** list. - All selected nodes/links are displayed in the **Selected Nodes/Items** tab. Switch between the viewing tabs by clicking on the tab names below the list. --- #### Confirm results files (and/or linked flow output files!) Your results file(s) will be displayed in a list. Use the checkboxes provided to select which results to plot. Add more results files by clicking the **Add 1D Urban Results File(s)** button located below the list. You can browse to results files (extension .out) or a 1D-2D linked flow output from an integrated 1D-2D model (extension .csv). Note:When a .csv file (the linked flow output from a 1D-2D model) is added to the results table, **2D Model (linked) Flow** is added to the variables list and can be selected for plotting. --- #### Select variable(s) A table lists all possible variables available for plotting. The default selections are the **Node Depth** and **Link Flow** variables. You can untick these and select different variables. When plotting multiple variables, the upper variable selected in the list will be plotted on the primary y-axis. Subsequent variables will also be plotted on the primary axis if they have matching units. All other selected variables (with non-matching units) will be plotted against the secondary (right-hand) y-axis. --- #### Select the plot time range Click in the fields provided and enter the required **Start Time** and **End Time**. The default is the full analysis period of the specified results file. Note:The timings for urban results are always specified as real dates. --- Click the **Plot** button in the **Toolbar** to display the time series graph. The plot will have a title and legend added automatically. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5074bc26-a9ef-4bf4-b1de-a5c6ce628aca/Images/Documentation/1DUrbanimagesurbantimeseriesplothowto.png) A cursor signified by the crossing of vertical and horizontal lines is always visible on the chart. The chart has an option to show data values under the (vertical line of) the cursor for all plotted datasets. This functionality is activated by a tick box in the chart toolbar. When this is ticked the data values will be visible on the chart. These data will update as you move the cursor around the chart. Charts can be fully customised using the **Quick-Edit** button on the chart **Toolbar**. Please see the technical reference for details on [Quick-Edit functionality](/v1/docs/the-time-series-plot-window-urban-results#quickedit-functionality), [Toolbar functionality](/v1/docs/the-time-series-plot-window-urban-results#toolbar-functionality) and [Right-click menu functionality](/v1/docs/the-time-series-plot-window-urban-results#rightclick-menu-functionality). Use the X in the upper right corner of the chart to close the chart window when you’ve finished with it.
