Global Mapper User's Manual
The Shader selection box allows for the selection of the algorithm used to color and shade any loaded
elevation data. The following shading algorithms are available:
• The Atlas Shader is the default shader. It generally provides good results for any loaded elevation
data.
• The Color Ramp Shader displays ramps color from blue for low elevations to red for the highest
elevations by default.
• The Daylight Shader colors all elevations the same and is only useful when hill shading is turned on.
• The Global Shader is designed for shading elevation data sets covering large areas of the earth such
as Terrain Base and GTOPO30. The results are quite stunning for data sets such as these.
• The Gradient Shader moderates the color with elevation between the low elevation and the high
elevation. The actual colors ramped between can be selected on the Shader Options panel.
• The HSV Shader maps the elevations onto the HSV (hue saturation value) color space. The mapping
can be configured on the Shader Options panel.
• The Slope Shader colors loaded terrain data by the slope of the terrain rather than the absolute
elevation. This shader allows you to identify the portions of the terrain that are relatively flat vs those
that are relatively steep. The definitions of "flat" and "steep" are user configurable on the Shader
Options panel.
• The Slope Direction Shader colors loaded terrain data by direction in which the terrain faces rather
