Graphical representation of elevation data.

[umalik]

What other ways other than a typical contour map and a line graph, are there to graphically present elevation data from a levelling run etc?

Any help would be great appreciated.

Thank you.

A color map? A 3 D surface? A 3 D surface with equi-height contours?

A 3 D surface with color mapped to heights.

Any of the above with dots labelled with actual data points.
