Interpolate Contours (IntCon)

Type: Interactive Application

 

Interpolates contours between two existing contours.

Detailed Description

Interpolates the required contour lines between two existing contour lines. The lines to be used are user-identified along with the start and stop contour limits. A user-defined contour interval determines the number of contour lines to create. The elevations of the new contour lines are automatically assigned.

Description

Range

CONINT=

Contour interval

Ground value

LAYMOD=

Layer mode

0-1

NEWLAY=

New layer number

1-10,001

SMOMOD=

Line smoothing mode

0-2

BSPINC=

B-Spline increment

1-10

Contour Interval (ConInt=)

Defines the contour interval, which will determine the number of contours to be placed between the user-defined contours.

Layer Mode (LayMod=)

Defines the layer to use when creating new contour lines. A parameter of 0 will use the layer of the first user-defined contour line and a parameter of 1 will use the New Layer parameter.

New Layer (NewLay=)

Defines the new layer to use when creating new contour lines. This parameter is used if the Layer Mode (LAYMOD=) is set to 1.

Smoothing Mode (SmoMod=)

When placing new contour lines, this parameter defines the smoothing mode to use as follows:

 

0

Use no line smoothing. Lines will be set to VrOne mode 1.

1

Use VrOne spline display mode. Lines will be set to VrOne mode 2.

2

Use B-Spline. B-Spline points will be added to the line. The VrOne line mode will be set to 1. This is the recommended parameter for new contour lines.

B-Spline Increment (BSPIncB=)

Defines the smoothness when creating a B-Splined line. This parameter is from 1 to 10 and 4 or 5 is recommended. This parameter is a multiplier for the number of points placed on the new line. For example, if the original, un-smoothed line has 100 points and this parameter is 4 then the new line will consist of 400 points.
