This map provides an elevation tinted hillshade surface generated dynamically using a chain of server-side functions on a Terrain layer. A tinted hillshade is a combination of a hillshade applied to the Terrain, fused to a colormap applied to the same Terrain to represent elevation. The hillshading is based on a solar altitude angle of 45 degrees, and solar aspect angle of 315 degrees. The z factor is varied based on scale so that a suitable hillshade is visible at all scales.What can you do with this layer?Use for Visualization: Yes. This is appropriate for visualizing the shape and height of the terrain at a range of map scales. The image service can be added to applications or maps to enhance a users' contextual understanding. Use for Analysis: No.To learn more about the technique used in this map to fuse the elevation tint with hillshade, referNAGI fusion method.For more details such as Data Sources, Mosaic method used in this layer, please see theTerrain layer. This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single export image request. This layer is part of a larger collection ofelevation layersthat you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.
