Hi!

I am playing around with regions trying to learn how to display results on a map, but I have problems when connecting a region to the shape-file. I have created three regions and have chosen the default shape file (country.shp) in Basic Parameters. But when I try to connect a region to a specific country I can't select them - I see them in the drop-down menu but nothing happens when I click on them. Is it a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Taylor!

We currently have a Masterstudent who is developing an energy planning for her home country. She does a resource and demand assessment in ArcGIS but also wants to use LEAP as a planning tool and I remembered the map option in LEAP, although I have never used it before. I might have some questions on the regions option later on, in particular how you can simulate imports and exports of the same fuel in one region. Example: You have a lot of hydro generation in region 1 and can export to region 2 in the rainy season, but you need fossil generation from region 2 during the dry season. It is difficult to define the export/import shares beforehand. I have a few ideas how this could work but haven't tried it yet. If you, or anybody else in the community, have any suggestions that would be great.

Hi Wulf,

Just a quick update. The cause of the error has been identified, and should be fixed in the next version of LEAP.

Thanks!

Hi,

I am having problems in Region based calculations too.

I was practicing and what i did:

- chose multi-national

- added three countries pre-defined in LEAP

- loaded coutries.shp file

- tried to open Regions and this occurs (in first screenshot)

When i click continue LEAP, another error pops up (in second scrrenshot)

I tried to use send report facility, but it failed too.

Hi Utsav,

I can see this issue also. Apologies for the problems, I am working on a fix for you now. Look for a new version of LEAP soon. It will be v2018.1.17.

Hi again Utsav

LEAP 2018.1.17 is now posted. Could you give it a test as I think should address this problem. Please let me know what you find.

Thanks!

Thank you Charles for such a quick fix. It seems to be working well now.

I found some other matter in results view. I will be posting as a new thread.

However, i want to put up a minor suggestion regarding results view in Map here, which i think would be very handy.

I was trying to view results in maps in terms of energy intensity in conventional way, i.e. more darker tone of same for higher values. I found few 4 options. But only Grayscale would serve what i intend. Other palettes Reds, Greens and Blues would be opposite, i.e. lighter tones for greater values.

It would be great if these palettes would behave similar as Grayscale. It would be even better if modeler could choose color type and/or colors and/or how the intensity would change (lighter to darker or vice versa) for each type of result variables.

Attached herewith is the sample results to represent what i intend.

Regards,

Utsav

Great suggestions! i havent really spent any time optimizing the palettes for maps yet, but will investigate flipping them around for next release.

I believe the mapping component (MapWin GIS) also has its own palette options but have not so far made up use of that.

Stay tuned!
