Re: [gdal-dev] Contour Line Thinning

2021-01-02 Thread David Strip
Like Richard, I live and hike in a region with a substantial amount of steep, cliffy terrain, so the bunching of contour lines serves a useful purpose - "Stay away". That said, the Swiss maps suggest a multi-step procedure. Assuming we have a DEM - 1. Compute the the

[gdal-dev] Contour Line Thinning

2021-01-01 Thread Stephen Woodbridge
Hi all, I'm contouring bathemetry data using gdal_contour and it works really great. The problem I have is that when depth falls off rapidly like at the continental shelf or into a canyon, I get too many contour lines that all bunch up. If I change the contour step size to fix this, then the
