5.2.2   Relief

 

Functions accessible from: 'Main menu > File > Preferences > View > Relief'

 

Land may use elevation maps (grids with height information) to assign altitude data on maps/waypoints/routes and then be able to display then dimensionally.

 

    Draw relief: 2D maps can display relief shadows.

 

 

    Draw relief in 3D view even if raster map is loaded: If 3D view is enabled, relief map will be displayed together with the rest of raster maps.

 

 

    Draw relief with shadow: Relief will be displayed in a clearer and attractive way, as it features shadow simulations enhancing thus the variations of the ground.

 

 

    Flat color steps: Instead of using a fading color, just one plain color for each height interval will be used.

 

 

    Draw level lines: Altitude lines are drawn.

 

 

    Relief colors: Select between different hypsometric colors to display your maps: high contrast colors, low contrast colors, default palette of colors…

 

 

    Customize: Define the color and the height intervals that will be displayed in relief maps.
