TerrainMap 3.0 (for WinNT and Win95) Copyright 1996-1997 by Yiping Song. All Rights Reserved. Tel: (414) 547 3580 Introduction TerrainMap represents terrain in triangulated irregular networks (TINs), contours, and digital elevation model (DEM). TIN generation is strictly based on Delunay criteria (for any resulting triangle, there is no other points within the circle defined by three points of the triangle.) Contours can be generated from TIN model or DEM model. Users can define the contour interval and primary contour elevation. The generation of contours from DEM is internally using the TIN-to-Contour algorithm. Contour labelling is also included. DEM can be generated from TIN model or contours. Users can define DEM size (number of rows and columns). Voronoi polygons can be generated from TIN model. Voronoi polygons best define the most precise spatial influencing regions (or best spatial partitioning). It is especially useful for locational analyses. Layer-ed display of users’ choice is useful for data validation, cross-referencing, and better visualization. Users can select layers and colors for display. Layers include control elevation points, triangles, contours, contour labels, DEM, and Voronoi polygons. 3D spatial view is included for better visualization. Users can define rotations in all three axises (X, Y, and Z), as well as Z directional enlargement. Other view operations include fit, zoom-in, zoom-out, move, and zoom by region. Import/Export utilities are provided including TIN to ASCII, Contour to ASCII, DEM to ASCII, and Voronoi Polygons to ASCII. Spatial Analysis functions Profile Viewer/Output This function solves the problem that given two points and the sampling numbers, interpolate elevations for all sampling points along the line defined by the two points. Two points can be input by keying-in or mouse-clicking. All parameters necessary for the profile generation are human-interventable. Profile export is only a button-click away. Slope analysis This function performs 3D surface area calculation for user-defined slope classes. 3D surface Area Calculator This function allows users to defines a cube based on which 3D surface area calculation is then perfomed. More specifically, it solves the problem such as "Find the total area where elevation is between 100.5 meter and 478 meter, longitude between 47.6 and 48.5 degree, latitude is between 35.1 and 36.5 degree" Volume Calculator This function is similar to Area Calculator except that it calculates the total volume within the given cube. Breakline Input This function allows users to input linear features such as streams and shorelines, as the criticial points which must be preserved. All points on the input linear features are used in TIN generation. Breakline is treated as one of individual layers for colored display. Users can designate the color for each breakline . Shaded-relief Instant shaded-relief map creation with option to define multiple light sources and magnitudes of light sources. Installation Your PC must run under Win95 and WinNT.
