    en.wikipedia.org/.../Create_a_topographic_background

    The topographic GIS data you downloaded is by default displayed using a monochromatic palette (mapcolors) going from white to black; however, you have the option of using other colors. You can either load an existing mapcolor file, edit an existing mapcolor file or create your own mapcolors. To do this, you will need to edit the layer's properties.

    In the future, a good way to follow should be to start a methodical project, based on the German Location map initiative, working continent after continent and country after country, to provide a complete set of SVG topographic maps, respecting these topographic conventions. To learn. Several tutorials are now available, on wiki-en, wiki-fr ...

  4. Orthophoto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthophoto

    Unlike an uncorrected aerial photograph, an orthophoto can be used to measure true distances, because it is an accurate representation of the Earth's surface, having been adjusted for topographic relief, [1] lens distortion, and camera tilt. Orthophotographs are commonly used in geographic information systems as a "map accurate" background ...

    The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [1] [2] The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [3] [2] The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of ...

  7. Diffraction topography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_topography

    The basic working principle of diffraction topography is as follows: An incident, spatially extended beam (mostly of X-rays, or neutrons) impinges on a sample. The beam may be either monochromatic, i.e. consist one single wavelength of X-rays or neutrons, or polychromatic, i.e. be composed of a mixture of wavelengths ("white beam" topography).
