<div> | ||
Topographic profiles can be created also using a GPX file as a source. The original latitude-longitude values are automatically converted to a WGS84-based cartesian metric values, and from those values the topographic profile is constructed. | ||
Beware that in the current version, only profile lines with just two points (start and end points) may be used for further geological data projections and intersections. So if you just want to create a topographic profile, GPX profile sources are fine. | ||
In future releases, the only-two-points constraint for geological intersections should be removed. | ||

The profile plot is created by using the "<i>Create topographic profile</i>" button. | ||
Values for the vertical exaggeration and minimum and maximum elevation in the plot are precomputed, however the user may modify them. | ||

<br /><br /> | ||
|
||
Both height and slope can be plotted. Slopes are in degrees, and can be computed a absolute or direction values. When directional, positive values indicate upslope segments in the profile direction, while negative values indicate downslope segments. | ||
|
||
<br /><br /> | ||
Within the window activated by the "<i>Elevation layer visibility and colors</i>" button it is possible to define the colors, as well as the visibilities, of the distinct elevation layers sources. | ||
|

<br /><br /> | ||
|
||
With the option "<i>Flip x-axis direction</i>", the start of the x-axis in the plot will be at the right, not at the left, so that distances will increase from left to right. | ||
