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=)

Determines how the layer into which to place new contour lines is chosen. "0" uses the layer of the first user-defined contour line; "1" uses the "New Layer" specification.

New Layer (NewLay=)

Defines the layer into which to place new contour lines. This parameter is used if the Layer Mode (LAYMOD=) is set to 1.

Smoothing Mode (SmoMod=)

Defines the smoothing mode 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, unsmoothed line has 100 points and this parameter is 4, then the new line will consist of 400 points.
