X-Vms-To: CSNET%"info-graphics@ads-unix.arpa"

Can anyone help me with locating algorithms for displaying and transforming
terrain maps.

The terrain map is a 2-D array of height values. Operations I need
are:

1. Generation of a contour map (ala USGS).
2. Generation of a skeleton map (a side-looking view onto a web of lines).
   (this may not be the correct terminology).
3. Rubber-Band distance functions:
   SPREAD: e.g. overlay a road network and re-encode the map in terms of
   distance to the road.
   spreadWithObstacles: Same thing only one has water and terrain obsticles
   of varying difficulties.
4. SLOPE: differentiate the terrain map.
