Detailed Description
A hillshade renderer can help visualize raster data using RasterLayer. Also known as shaded relief, a hillshade is a grayscale representation of a 3D surface, with the light source's relative position used for shading the image.
Note: HillshadeRenderer can be applied to a RasterLayer created with single band raster data. For a multi-band raster data, RGBRenderer might be a better fit.
Note: This type is immutable once created. Once the renderer is created and applied to a layer, none of its properties can be changed. Instead, create a new renderer and apply it to the layer.
Map { Basemap { // add a raster to the basemap RasterLayer { id: rasterLayer Raster { path: dataPath + "/srtm.tiff" } // declare a HillshadeRaster as a child of RasterLayer, // as renderer is a default property of RasterLayer HillshadeRenderer { altitude: 45 azimuth: 315 zFactor: 0.000016 slopeType: Enums.SlopeTypeNone pixelSizeFactor: 1 pixelSizePower: 1 outputBitDepth: 8 } } }
Property Documentation
The sun's angle of elevation above the horizon and ranges from 0 to 90 degrees.
A value of 0 degrees indicates that the sun is on the horizon, that is, on the same horizontal plane as the frame of reference. A value of 90 degrees indicates that the sun is directly overhead. Together the altitude and azimuth indicate the sun's relative position.
The default value is 45 degrees.
Returns the sun's relative position along the horizon (in degrees).
This position is indicated by the angle of the sun measured clockwise from due north. An azimuth of 0 degrees indicates north, east is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west is 270 degrees.
The default is 315 degrees.
Returns the bit depth (pixel depth) of a raster cell.
Determines the range of values that a particular raster can store, which is based on the formula 2n (where n is the bit depth). For example, an 8-bit raster can have 256 unique values that range from 0 to 255.
The default bit depth is 8.
Returns the pixel size factor.
Pixel size factor and pixel size power allow nonlinear adjustments to be made to elevation scaling. This is typically recommended when working with world-wide datasets projected using World Mercator. These values adjust the zFactor as follows:
Adjusted ZFactor = (ZFactor) + (PixelSize)^PixelSizePower * (PixelSizeFactor)
The default value is 1.
Returns the pixel size power.
Pixel size factor and pixel size power allow nonlinear adjustments to be made to elevation scaling. This is typically recommended when working with world-wide datasets projected using World Mercator. These values adjust the zFactor as follows:
Adjusted ZFactor = (ZFactor) + (PixelSize)^PixelSizePower * (PixelSizeFactor)
The default value is 1.
The manner in which inclination of the slope is calculated.
The default is Enums.SlopeTypeNone.
See also Enums.SlopeType.
Returns a scaling factor.
This is used to convert the elevation values for two purposes:
- To convert the elevation units (such as meters or feet) to the horizontal coordinate units (x,y) of the dataset, which may be feet, meters, or degrees.
- To add vertical exaggeration for visual effect.
If the x,y units and z units are in the same units of measure the z-factor is 1, unless a vertical exaggeration needs to be applied. If the x,y units and z units are in different units of measure the z-factor must be set to the appropriate factor, or the results will be incorrect. For example, if your z units are feet and your x,y units are meters, you would use a z-factor of 0.3048 to convert your z units from feet to meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meter).
The default value is 1.
