General

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 of a bed resistance map, then the land information can be taken from a bathymetry map in another data file.

Then you specify how to distinguish land points from water points. The value for true land 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.

You may also choose to specify a digitized land border to be used for land plotting, either as exported from a Digitizer file (*.bbd) or read from a XYZ ASCII file (*.xyz). Choosing the XYZ-file, you must give the projection in which the land border file data appears. This must always be one of the kind of a Universal Transverse Mercator Projection, for instance 'UTM-33' for zone 33, or 'BTM' for a local UTM zone defined in the utm.dat file in your MIKEZero\bin directory.

You specify the land appearance and the edge drawing of land areas. If shaded land is chosen, then the specified colour the is used.

Finally, the edge drawing of land areas should be defined.
