On this page you define how to represent land on the plot.
First you specify where to get the land information (map) from. If you are making a bathymetry plot, then the land information can simply be taken from the plot data itself. If you are making e.g. a plot using a current speed map, then the land information can be taken from a bathymetry map in another data file. With model result files, the land data is typically taken from the first skip record (first static item) in the plot data file.
You may also choose to specify a digitized land border to be used for land plotting, read from a XYZ ASCII file (*.xyz). You must give the map projection in which the land border file data appears.
Then you specify how to distinguish land points from water points. The value for true land, i.e. points that for sure never are flooded, is usually a minimum value. This means that all points with a value greater than or equal to the true land value (above true land) are land points.
Finally you specify the land appearance and the edge drawing of land areas. If shaded land is chosen, then the specified colour the is used.
