+ | ===== Map shading ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Map or terrain shading serves better readability of the displayed terrain relief. Locus offers three modes: | ||
+ | * **hill shading** - simulating covering of the landscape by sun shade | ||
+ | * **slopes** - highlighting slope gradients of >30°, >35° and >40 | ||
+ | * **colored elevation** - elevation levels are differed by colors (e.g. lowlands are green, mountains brown). | ||
