Valley computations

The valley computation feature enables you to compute a color-coded valleys and summits chart that highlights all the peaks and troughs in a selected area of terrain. The valleys and summits, that is the highest and lowest points, are highlighted by the different colors. You can change the color model using the Valley Style Settings window or the Property Sheet. A new Valley layer is created and displayed in the Map Layers pane each time you carry out a valley computation.
The following figure shows an example of a valley computation.
