The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the Dye module in EE can be activated from the EFDC+ Modules, as shown in Figure 1
Figure 1. Active Dye Modules.
The dye setting form is shown in Figure 2. In this form EE allows the user to configure any number of dye classes into the simulation (note that prior to EE10 only one dye class could be configured per model). The user should enter the number of dye classes in Number of Dye Classes text box.
Under Dye Parameters frame, define the dye class name in the ID column. Select the dye class type by clicking on Type drop-down menu. There are three options:
The IC Flag column allows the user to select which class uses the values from the Initial Concentration column or the Spatially Varying Conditions frame. Check the checkbox of the class for using the value in Initial Concentration column or uncheck for using IC value in Spatially Varying Conditions frame.

The initial conditions for dye can be set spatial varying by clicking Assign button in Figure 3.

Dye visualization in the 2DH View, 2DV View, Time Series, Vertical Profiles, and Longitudinal Profiles are the same as the description in the Salinity Visualization.
