Challenge 8 - Sluis, a Topographic Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

Use your creativity and imagination. This is an open-ended challenge in two parts: Produce some thematic visualizations of the DEM. Enhance the functionality of the application.

Thematic visualizations of the DEM:
Use Alt|PrintScreen to copy and then save to a floppy. Print a Black-and-White of each (color if you can afford it) but also hand the color images in on a floppy as .jpgs.

Using the shaded image above for reference and any or all of the settings, generate, copy and save five (5) renderings which effectively highlight different themes such as:
(Annotate the images briefly explaining how you generated each image and what each image shows.)

• Fortifications.
• Fields.
• Furrows.
• Roads.
• Buildings.
• Finest variations of topography.
• Gross overall topography.

Enhanced functionality:
As usual, turn in a printout of Unit1.cpp with a cover sheet showing the GUI. Turn in the executable and six necessary project files on a floppy.

Improve upon the software program in some way:

• You might delete the sections that don't work well and rearrange or label the GUI so that it makes more intuitive sense.
• You might add a function that draws a profile of the topography along a selected row or column.
• You might add a function that shades the image assuming light coming from the upper left.
• You might add a function with a slider that simulates a flood.
• You might add a function that allows red + green = white.
• You might add a scale legend at the bottom.
