FHX2 is used extensively to produce fire charts that display
the temporal and spatial distribution of fires at a site.

FHX2 has powerful statistical functions that include
modeling of fire intervals with the Weibull distribution and

Introduction
FHX2
is software that helps analyze fire history using fire scars and
other fire-related injuries found in the annual growth rings of
trees. FHX2 provides a means for entering, archiving, storing,
editing, and manipulation of fire history information from tree
rings, which in turn, provides a more efficient mechanism for data
storage and exchange. FHX2 creates master fire charts displaying
fire chronologies for individual trees or for individual sites. FHX2
has powerful statistical functions for analyzing the seasonality of
past fires, temporal changes in fire regimes, or spatial differences
in fire occurrence between sites. The software is capable of
statistically analyzing and modeling fire interval distributions
using the Weibull distribution. FHX2 also provides access to a
superposed epoch analysis program for analyzing the relationship
between past fire and climate. The Graphics Module creates,
displays, and prints master fire charts. Each horizontal line can
represent one tree, a sub-site, composite information for an entire
site, or an entire region. Each small vertical bar represents a
dated fire event. The Main Menu of the Statistics Module shows how
FHX2 can analyze fire seasonality, fire intervals, temporal
stability, or spatial differences in past fire regimes.
Payment
and Downloading information
Download
the program EXTRACT.EXE
(531 Kb download)
into a folder on your hard drive (usually called C:\FHX2). Run the
self-extracting program extract.exe and all files will be copied
into the folder. If a file already exists with that file name,
simply answer "yes" to the question to overwrite the
existing file. Be sure to first set the "FHX2 Folder"
(usually "c:\fhx2\") and the "Workspace Folder"
(something like "c:\fhx2\work\") from the FHX2 main menu
before continuing with FHX2.
After
downloading, you MUST purchase this software for $129.95. Current
paid users can upgrade to the most recent version for $49.95. Click here
to purchase the FHX2 software. (Note: a download tracker
supplied by my web host allows me to learn where the software has
been downloaded!) Feel free to contact me for further
information (click on the Contact button to the left).

As
with any software, I expect proper citation to be given to this
software when used for your research, just as you would programs
ARSTAN and COFECHA, for example. Possible citations include:

Update
information
Most recent updates
listed first:
-
The
range of years that can be examined in all modules has been
expanded out to the year 2015 to ensure compatibility for the
next 10 years.
-
The
lengths of all fields required for entering site information in
the Data Entry Module have been increased to accommodate very
long entries.
-
The
Summary option in the Statistics Module now calculates both the
sample depth (number of trees per year) and the sample depth of
the recorder years (number of recorder trees per year).
-
Added
two different calculations of Fire Frequency in the Statistics
Module, the traditional fire frequency (1/MFI = mean fire
interval) and the Weibull fire frequency (1/WMPI = 1/(Weibull
Median Probability Interval)).
-
The
begin and end comment lines in the header information of the
FHX2 file have been updated to preserve any comments manually
entered via a text editor. All comments must go in-between the
begin and end comment lines.
-
The
opening menu in FHX2 now features enhanced information for
setting both the FHX2 folder (where the FHX2 software resides)
and the Workspace folder (where all your work files will
reside). Note: both of these must be set for FHX2 to
function properly.
-
The
Maximum Hazard Interval in the Statistics Module is now
calculated using the 0.50 cutoff rate, as this is more
ecologically reasonable, i.e., once the hazard rate
passes 0.50, the probability is high for fire occurrence.
-
The
Statistics Module contains a new feature. On "Set
Range," the user can "lock" the range of years
being analyzed, which carries over from one file to the next.
This allows you to analyze the same set of years for many
different sites with ease.
How
to Import Graphics Into Other Programs
One
of the most common questions I receive is how to import the FHX2
graphs into other programs. Two methods exist and I'll give some
easy solutions below. First, you need to know that the graphics file
created by FHX2 (using the Plot option in the Graphics Module) is in
HPGL format (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language), perhaps the most
common format when FHX2 was first developed. Second, you should use
ONLY "open symbols" in your fire history chart before
plotting to a file, rather than "closed symbols." The
closed symbols will turn out jagged when imported into other
programs.
Method
#1:
Many
graphics programs can directly import HPGL format, such as CorelDraw
(which I use and highly recommend), AutoCAD programs, and Paintshop
Pro, to name a few. Once imported, you can then export the graphic
to another format, such as JPEG or TIF, which can be directly
imported into Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, for example. When you
import the graphic, be sure to select all objects and change the
color of all objects to black.
Method
#2:
Did
you know that the MS Office family of products can import HPGL
format? That's right! Here's how. Connect to the Microsoft web site
to download a program called Hpgl32.exe.
Alternatively, you can download the file from my downloads
web site. Follow the simple directions on this web page for
installing this graphics filter into Microsoft.
Now,
open a blank page in Microsoft's PowerPoint (I prefer to import the
FHX2 charts into PowerPoint). Select
"Insert -- Picture -- From file" then click on "Files
of type" and you'll see a selection for "HP Graphics
Language." Select this file type. You then will have to
manually choose the HPGL file created by FHX2 where it says
"File name" because you likely created a plot file ending
with the extension "PGL." If PowerPoint asks you again the
file format when converting the file, again select "HP Graphics
Language." In the Picture Toolbar, select "Recolor
picture" and set all colors to black.
You
now should have a high-quality FHX2 graphic that you can save and
import into other programs. These graphics have been published in a
wide number of scientific journals (see below).

Acknowledgements
Many
individuals helped significantly with the development and testing of
the FHX2 software. I first must thank the Laboratory of Tree-Ring
Research for providing me with facilities and computers on which to
develop this software. Dr. Thomas W. Swetnam is the driving force
behind our fire history/ecology research, and to him I am
particularly grateful. Kiyomi Morino offered numerous helpful
suggestions in all stages of the development of this software, and
this software benefits greatly from her comments, suggestions, and
testing. Ramzi Touchan and Craig Allen also tested the software in
its earliest stages, and suggested many useful ideas that improved
the software. The comments and ideas of Tony Caprio, Chris Baisan,
Linda Mutch, Don Falk, and Jeff Balmat are also greatly appreciated.
If any users have ideas on how they would like to see this software
improved, please drop me a message at the e-mail address on the
Contacts page (link in the left column).
