• KML_POINT_ELEVS_RELATIVE (KML only) - specifies that the elevation values associated with
3D Point features are relative to the terrain surface rather than relative to sea level. Use
KML_POINT_ELEVS_RELATIVE=YES to enable.
• KML_POINT_EXTRUDE (KML only) - specifies that 3D point features displayed in Google Earth
should be extruded from the surface by drawing a thin line from the surface to the point. Use
KML_POINT_EXTRUDE=YES to enable.
• GEN_MULTI_PATCH (SHAPEFILE only) - specifies that area features exported to a Shapefile
should be stored as multi-patch features rather than areas. Use GEN_MULTI_PATCH=YES to
enable.
• ADD_LAT_LON (CSV only) - specifies that lat/lon columns should be added to a CSV export. Use
ADD_LAT_LON=YES to enable.
• VERSION (LOWRANCE_USR only) - specifies which version of USR file to create. Must be 3 or 4.
By default VERSION=3 is used.
GENERATE_CONTOURS
Global Mapper User's Manual
The GENERATE_CONTOURS command allows for the generation of contour lines (isolines of equal
elevation) from any or all currently loaded elevation data. The following parameters are supported by the
command.
• ELEV_UNITS - specify elevation units to use in export
♦ FEET - export in US feet
♦ METERS - export in meters
• INTERVAL - specifies the contour interval to use. This must be a whole number greater than 0. The
units are specified with the ELEV_UNITS parameter described above. If you wanted to generate a
contour file with an interval of 20 feet, you would use INTERVAL=20 ELEV_UNITS=FEET in the
parameter list. If no interval is provided, a default one is guessed based on the elevation range of the
loaded elevation data.
• SPATIAL_RES - specifies spacing of grid points used to determine contour position. A smaller grid
spacing results in higher fidelity, but larger, contours. Typically you'll want to use the default value
which is the minimum spatial resolution of all loaded data. Should be formatted as
x_resolution,y_resolution. The units are the units of the current global projection. For example, if
UTM was the current global projection and you wanted to use a grid with a 30 meter spacing, the
parameter/value pair would look like SPATIAL_RES=30.0,30.0.
• SPATIAL_RES_METERS - specifies spatial resolution to use in meters. The value in meters will
automatically be converted to the curent view/export projection units. For example, to do an export at
2.0 meter spacing (or as close as you can get to that in the current units), use
SPATIAL_RES_METERS=2.0, or to do an export at 1.0 meters in X by 1.5 meters in Y, use
SPATIAL_RES_METERS="1.0,1.5".
• GLOBAL_BOUNDS - specifies the contour bounds in units of the current global projection. There
should be 4 values in a comma-delimited list following the parameter name. The values should be in
order of minimum x, minimum y, maximum x, maximum y.
• GLOBAL_BOUNDS_SIZE - specifies the contour bounds in units of the current global projection.
There should be 4 values in a comma-delimited list following the parameter name. The values should
be in order of minimum x, minimum y, width in x, width in y.
• LAT_LON_BOUNDS - specifies the contour bounds in latitude/longitude degrees. There should be 4
values in a comma-delimited list following the parameter name. The values should be in order of
westmost longitude, southernmost latitude, easternmost longitude, northernmost latitude.
