Locus Map - forum

Hi menion,
I'm happy with the new feature
( http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/altitude-map)
and played around with the palettes. But unfortunately i can't get any intensive coloring like you (in the image of Praha).
In my case is always pale light brown or kind of grey :(

If i understand correctly the numbers in palettes like 0....126 or -1500....4000 are taken by Locus as height above sea levels? Or relative difference in altitude?
Looking for palettes for low mountains range (400-900m above sea level) and for the alps (800-4000m above sea level).

I tried palettes nrw*, alpen, GMT* and other palettes from the link you posted but without any better results.

Thank you for any hint,
Christian

i also don't find any good solution yet.
Default theme and all my own tests ends in a blurring soup.

So same idea here:
Waiting for more (better) examples
;D

May be Locus is optimized for Praha city ;)

Austrian alps:
2 new versions attached (gentle and hard transitions)

install: copy the *.cpt files to "..\Locus\data\interpolators" folder:

Ahhh, i got it.
Normally i don't look inside any files.
So i will try to improve any other palettes.
Thanx.

You'r welcome
...and please share your palette.

There are 4 CPT files. Color gradient is based on this web (http://fr-fr.topographic-map.com/places/France-27/). The color steps work pretty well I guess  :)

Edit: modiy altitude ranges and steps

That looks nice :)
Thank you for providing the palettes.
Will test it in the wild...

I hope you are planning test the mountains.cpt in Nepal  :D

I will test it too, so these are beta versions :) 

And there is fr-fr.topographic-map.com theme (http://www.locusmap.eu/wp-content/themes/locus/images/interpolators/fr-topographic-map.cpt), same color palete and the same altitude steps, if someone finds it useful

Update for my Austrian alp files. -> here (http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=5163.msg43346#msg43346)
' think it works now for my own purpose.

Not bad!
