Topography (Raster)

Toolkit name: GIS_Raster_Topography

Works with SRTM elevation data (HGT files) to provide terrain information for any location.

Data source format:

Property	Value
File format	SRTM .hgt binary files (30m resolution)
File naming	N{lat}E{lon}.hgt (e.g., N33E035.hgt)
Structure	1201x1201 pixels, 2 bytes per sample, big-endian signed short
CRS	WGS84 (EPSG:4326)
Data source	Folder path containing .hgt files
Config key	defaultSRTM

topo = toolkitHome.getToolkit(toolkitHome.GIS_RASTER_TOPOGRAPHY, projectName="MY_PROJECT")

# Get elevation at a single point
elev = topo.getPointElevation(lat=32.5, long=35.2)

# Get a gridded elevation dataset for a bounding box
ds = topo.getElevation(minx=35.0, miny=32.0, maxx=35.1, maxy=32.1, dxdy=30)

# Generate an STL mesh for CFD simulations
topo.createElevationSTL(ds, solidName="Terrain", fileName="terrain.stl")

# Coordinate transformations
points = topo.convertPointsCRS(points, inputCRS=4326, outputCRS=2039)
