The fluvial depth profile shows the increase in depth the deeper into the Strait. Depth data is extracted from the line feature that extends from the marina into the Strait of Georgia in Washington, USA. The nautical map below takes aerial imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Try experimenting with the additional built-in styles that reflect the appearance of other land types available as well, such as Sierra, Arid, Boreal, and Fluvial which is featured in our next example. Now, in addition to making great trail maps in MAPublisher, the Elevation Profile tool allows you to create a valuable extra feature which could be exceptionally beneficial for hikers! I chose the “Temperate” style, for the example profile below, to stay true to the land cover as you can see above. Customize the look of your profile with the built-in stylized templates. Additionally, select “Edit axis appearance” to customize the colour of your grid or change the appearance of your labels.
Mapublisher create profile from line series#
For example, select “Edit series appearance” as shown in the screenshot, to choose whether you want your series to be a smooth line, or to display your individual anchor points. The advanced tools allow you to alter the size of the profile, intervals, axes, colour scheme, units of measurement and plenty more to ensure that you can make your profile unique and convey the desired information. The Edit Elevation Profile window lets you customize your profile manually with advanced customization tools or using a simplified built-in MAPublisher style.
Once finished, select the line feature to access the Elevation Profiles tool. These anchor points correspond with the points on the elevation profile below. The screenshot below shows the anchor points indicating each line vertex. Alternatively, you can import the trail data from another source and add your own additional anchor points using the Add Anchor tool. These anchor points are the source of the elevation information in the resulting profile. Using the pen tool, I replicated the trail system for Tunnel Mountain while adding anchor points (vertices) throughout the line feature. I gave the image a coordinate system and georeferenced it in Geographic Imager then imported into MAPublisher as a GeoTIFF. Example 1 – Trail Elevationįor the first example – take a satellite image of Tunnel Mountain in Banff, Alberta. The new Elevation Profile tool allows you to create an elevation plot using elevation information from anchors (vertices) of a line as long as there is a single path in a MAP View, with a coordinate system. You can also use the Elevation Profile tool to easily make changes to an existing MAPublisher elevation profile. In the latest release of MAPublisher, version 10.3, we added some great new features including the ability to create elevation profiles.
