Introduction
     TerrainMap represents terrain in triangulated irregular networks
     (TINs), contours, and digital elevation model (DEM). 

     TIN generation is strictly based on Delunay criteria (for any 
     resulting triangle, there is no other points within the circle
     defined by three points of the triangle.)

     Contours can be generated from TIN model or DEM model. Users can
     define the contour interval and primary contour elevation. The 
     generation of contours from DEM is internally using the 
     TIN-to-Contour algorithm. Contour labelling is also included.
 
     DEM can be generated from TIN model or contours. Users can 
     define DEM size (number of rows and columns).
 
     Voronoi polygons can be generated from TIN model. Voronoi 
     polygons best define the most precise spatial influencing regions
     (or best spatial partitioning). It is especially useful for 
     locational analyses. 
     
     Layer-ed display of users choice is useful for data validation,
     cross-referencing, and better visualization. Users can select 
     layers and colors for display. Layers include control elevation 
     points, triangles, contours, contour labels, DEM, and Voronoi 
     polygons. 

     3D spatial view is included for better visualization. Users can 
     define rotations in all three axises (X, Y, and Z), as well as 
     Z directional enlargement. Other view operations include fit, 
     zoom-in, zoom-out, move, and zoom by region. 

     Import/Export utilities are provided including TIN to ASCII, 
     Contour to ASCII, DEM to ASCII, and Voronoi Polygons to ASCII.

     Spatial Analysis functions 
         Profile Viewer/Output 
             This function solves the problem that given two points 
             and the sampling numbers, interpolate elevations for all
             sampling points along the line defined by the two points.
             Two points can be input by keying-in or mouse-clicking. 
             All parameters necessary for the profile generation are 
             human-interventable. Profile export is only a 
             button-click away. 
         Slope analysis 
             This function performs 3D surface area calculation for
             user-defined slope classes.
         3D surface Area Calculator 
             This function allows users to defines a cube based on 
             which 3D surface area calculation is then perfomed. 
             More specifically, it solves the problem such as 
             "Find the total area where elevation is between 100.5 
             meter and 478 meter, longitude between 47.6 and 48.5 
             degree, latitude is between 35.1 and 36.5 degree" 
         Volume Calculator 
             This function is similar to Area Calculator except 
             that it calculates the total volume within the given
             cube. 
         Breakline Input 
             This function allows users to input linear features 
             such as streams and shorelines, as the criticial points
             which must be preserved. All points on the input linear 
             features are used in TIN generation. Breakline is
             treated as one of individual layers for colored display. 
             Users can designate the color for each breakline .
         Shaded-relief 
             Instant shaded-relief map creation with option to 
             define multiple light sources and magnitudes of light
             sources.
