StateDMI / Command / ReadCropPatternTSFromStateCU
Overview
The ReadCropPatternTSFromStateCU command (for StateCU)
reads crop pattern time series data from a StateCU crop pattern
time series file and defines crop patterns in memory.
The crop pattern time series can then be manipulated and output with other commands.
This command can be used to adjust an existing crop pattern file or to set the total
acreage in the irrigation practice time series file (see the
SetIrrigationPracticeTSTotalAcreageToCropPatternTSTotalAcreage command).
Warning: when writing the crop pattern time series, the total acreage and the fractions corresponding to each crop (three digits) are written. The acreage for each crop is also now written but was not included in older versions of files. When reading the file with this command, the default is to read the individual crop acreages and the total and fractions are computed based on the individual crop acreages. Because the fraction is only three digits, crop areas computed from the total and fraction may differ from the raw crop acreages. Consequently, comparing old and new files may result in differences.
