The interface has two options for selecting products:
- select a product from the left side of the interface, or
- choose a product based on the active segment in the forecast process.
Note: The panes within Graphics Generator cannot be moved.

Graphics Output
Users can interactively build graphics, perform statistical analysis on the data, and change the appearance of the data.

The graphics output could be used for the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) pages.
Graphics Generator can produce any type of output, as long as:
- the data is in time series format,
- the user created a template to format the information, and
- there is a plug-in to create it.
Note: This module does not contain instructions on how to create and save templates.
