generate_surface

Makes the base below the 3D elevation map.

internal

Uses a combination of raytracing and multiple hill shading methods to produce 2D and 3D data visualizations and maps. Includes water detection and layering functions, programmable color palette generation, several built-in textures for hill shading, 2D and 3D plotting options, a built-in path tracer, 'Wavefront' OBJ file export, and the ability to save 3D visualizations to a 3D printable format.

generate_surface function

<dl><dt>heightmap</dt>
<dd>A two-dimensional matrix, where each entry in the matrix is the elevation at that point. All points are assumed to be evenly spaced.</dd>
<dt>zscale</dt>
<dd>Default `1`. The ratio between the x and y spacing (which are assumed to be equal) and the z axis. For example, if the elevation levels are in units
of 1 meter and the grid values are separated by 10 meters, `zscale` would be 10.</dd></dl>
