If anyone is still reading this thread,
Looking at the map for Mt Pizza, (Beer Mountain or whatever), I did a snap shot of the grid and ran up a very rough topographic map. Editing out the grid numbers took about 90 minutes.
I've put in links to four jpg files below showing the progress at each stage.
ahss1.jpg is the 13.12 grid square with it's neighbours showing (30Kb).
ahss0.jpg is clipboard image that the height field is built from (32kb). This image has been zoomed for maximum colour seperation from the clipboard image and had the grid number removed.
topotest.jpg is the view from the south with the banding applied, (the colours are a bit horrid but contrast to show the range of heights). The colours at the lowest point (brown), range upwards through yellowgreen, blue, purple, olivedrab, forrest green, olive green to bright green at the peaks.
topotesta.jpg is a 50kb satellite view of the topotest.jpg above. The dropoff in elevation to the Southeast is shown rather well and the mountain pass that runs SW through 13,12,7 and turns SE through 13,12,4 can also be see quite clearly. Mt Pizza intrudes into 13,12,4.
Overall the process is becoming simpler to arrange as I become more familiar with the tools. The longest part to organise now is the editing of the snapshot to remove the grid numbers and field numbers.
