Vishal, In terms of visualizing elevation data, there are a number of good options:
- create a hillshade and overlay that on the elevation layer at 50% opacity - colorize the elevation layer (ie green to white instead of black&white) - generate a vector contour layer Mapserver itself is not capable of doing this processing; you can achieve these through many other pieces of software such as GRASS, MicroDEM, GDAL, etc. I wrote a few custom apps for this purpose that are described on my site : http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=7 Mapserver only does 2D so true 3D is not possible. - matt On 10/21/07, Vishal Nagpal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am trying to display elevation data dt1 and dt2 files. > > I am getting a gray scale image as output.
