The surface import modal is the tool to import surfaces to the 2D map view of Glex. The surface is converted to a flat representation of the actual surface and includes hill-shading, contour lines and color gradient choices.
Currently, the following formats are supported:
.zmap [TO DO]
.xyz (only when gridded)
.tiff (geotiff)
There are currently some limitations to these files:
Files can be no larger than 100mb.
The CRS of the file has to use ED50 as its datum. (lat-long is not supported)
Using the surface settings it is possible to customize the surface.
Contour lines: select the interval of the contour lines. [TO DO]
Color selection: select the color gradient for your surface
Hill shading: select the orientation and intensity of the hill shading effect [TO DO]
Custom depth range: set the depth range you wish to visualize in more detail
