Key Features

Slope, aspect, elevation polygon processing

• Calculates slope polygons / determine the steepness of the terrain
• Computes aspect polygons / calculate the orientation of map features
• Derives elevation polygons / show height of geographic data

Line of sight analysis

• Delineates visible and obscured areas for point and linear features
• Produces visible and obscured areas for spatial analysis; great for color-filled thematic displays
• Provides user-defined parameters to control viewer and target heights, linear and angular sampling intervals, and output symbology

Complete surface display and visualization

• Display plan or perspective view of topographic features, triangles, surface mesh, contours, color-coded elevations, and more
• Produce high-resolution hill shading plots for map, chart, and atlas publication
• Descriptive, color-coded legends are available for all displays
• Produce shaded relief in color-coded raster or monochromatic hues; determine shadows, ambient lighting characteristics
• Combine DTM, imagery, and photography with Image Draping techniques

Watershed

• Source areas from point locations
• Drainage networks
• Slope vector display
• Flow from point

Applications

• Topographic mapping
• Planning and engineering
• Environmental and natural resource management
• GIS analysis
• Military lanning and analysis
