Thanks. I was under the impression the contours weren't very good. They seem somewhat 'wonky' to me. Either way, they too so long to do. The process is as follows;
- Create hieghtfield in Wilbur.
- Select from height range for every 25 m.
- Save each selection
- Trace each image in Inkscape.
I have a folder with 89 x 95.3 MB btimaps to cover the range of 0 -> 1641 metres.
Any suggestions on a quick way to label every forth contour?
Nothing comes to mind except the observation that with over 1600 meters of change in elevation, labeling every 100 meters on the flat parts (like near the coast) and every 500 meters on the mountain should be adequate. Just tag a few 'peaks' that might fall between the 500 meter contours - since that might be important data for a map.Originally Posted by Thurlor
I don't know as it's quick, but maybe creating paths from each of the contour lines you want to label and stroking them with the type tool (a lot of copy/paste would help speed that part up).
This is shaping up beautifully! =)
Also, is there a very easy, quick way you could create a lower res image of this in 3d, from an angle? I'm really curious to see what it looks like in 'reality'. I don't know if the programs you use can do that or not, though.
excuse any ignorance on my part, as ive never used wilbur before, though couldnt you save each selection as a bmp and open them all separate layers on a single image in photoshop and then select each layer and stroke it? seems a lot easier than manually tracing each one...
anyway, this map has really got me itching to try out wilbur as those contours are lovely. not just those but the map itself. great work on this one!
