Demo project SI version

Got the demo project working properly with SI units and uploaded an up-to-date executable.

Added SI units checkbox to Raspy-Cal. With SI units enabled, it will convert USGS data to SI but assumes that stage file and HEC-RAS project units are correct.

Minor changes and bug fixes; match PyPI version

In addition to minor changes, Raspy-Cal is now available on PyPI.

Raspy-Cal still assumes that HEC-RAS and the input data are using Imperial units. However, it can be set to have SI outputs by running it with the argument METRIC.

Theoretically ready for general use

Made datum adjustment optional. I believe this was the last critical barrier to general use; all remaining points (e.g. multi-flow-range calibration) are convenience features.

The attached Demo.zip includes everything needed to try out Raspy-Cal: an example project, a stage file, and configuration files for use with the command line and importing into the GUI. The stage file is based on the results from the example project with variations added to simulate real data that will not perfectly fit Manning's Equation.

Added browse buttons

Added browse buttons to GUI.

Flow data convenience features - ready for convenient general use

Added automatic flow data application (no need for the user to set flow data in HEC-RAS) and automatic flow data retrieval from USGS stream gages. Also set up configuration files specifying most project information, allowing re-running the calibrator with minimal need to re-specify information. The tool can now be said to be convenient for general use. The only convenience feature still lacking is multi-target calibration.

Automatic empirical data application

Flow profiles are now automatically prepared from the stage data file.

Raspy-cal executable with usable GUI

This is the first version that is straightforward to use without requiring a Python development environment etc. It assumes HEC-RAS 5.0.7, and the user must have set up geometry and flow data appropriately with a suitable plan. However, the actual calibration functionality is ready for use.

DemoProject/project.prj and DemoStage.csv can be used without modification as the project and stage files for demonstration purposes. Note that the model won't fit the "empirical" data very well, as the geometry and stage files are both entirely fabricated and the rating curve provided is apparently rather unrealistic.
