Custom Terrain models and GM_GenerateElevationGrid

Osei

We would like to draw our custom elevation grid data in Global Mapper. What we have are (x,y,z) points, that is, points with z-data over the area.

would like to know whether that is the kind of data that can be used in the method
GM_GenerateElevationGrid.

Thanx in advance

global_mapper

If you already have your XYZ points loaded into a layer, then any vector data with Z values can be used with GM_GenerateElevationGrid. You could also use the GM_LoadAsciiTextLayer function to directly load and grid the data from a file.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Mike
