LCP Critique is a small standalone program that allows users to import an LCP file (a landscape file; constituted of fuel model, canopy cover, stand height, crown base height, and crown bulk density layers) and generate summary information that can be used to critique the data. The critique is in either portable document format (PDF) or text (txt) format. The text file displays the results in table form and reports individual values by class. The PDF displays this information as histograms and includes an image of each layer. The program was created by the Missoula Fire Lab. It is identical to the LCP Critique available for analyses in the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS), but is provided here for direct use with LCP files.
