Please Explain

I'm thinking that I bit off more than I can chew but I'm going to give this a try. I downloaded a DEM with Hog textures but I forget what the colors represent. Here's a screen shot :



Thanks.

The dark blue is a body of water. The Dark reds are smaller roads, and the brighter reds are for bigger highways. The real light blue/turquoise color is of course where the track goes.
That is about all I can remember off the top of my head.

Thank you.

Hi

You should also consider that the dark blue texture is also the shore-line of a sea or one side of a wide river.

A google map of the area will put you straight.

Tiger Lines - (Texture colours)

Red = Roads, Big line = big road, small line = small road
Blue = Rivers, Shorelines
Black = Political Boundaries, (counties etc.)
Teal = Rail lines (light blue)
Light green = Small streams

Are the only texture that are used on DEM's ... all the rest of the textures are totally unused.

HOG textures are at Gaurc Software: HOG v 1.1.8 http://www.gaurc.us/index_files/software.htm

The Trainzluvr site, HOG textures, make installing them most difficult

In the TRS2006 install by using "CMP"-"File"-"Import Content"

"Tolaris", the author of HOG, created two sets of textures, one to represent a certain type of aerial images, the other for a certain type of a rendered vector map. The former set consists of the first 64 textures, the latter of the remaining 8.

This latter set is tailored to the raster images produced by MicroDEM when displaying TIGER data. TIGER is a bunch of vectors, ordered in independent layers: rail, road, water, etc. MicroDEM assigns predefined colours to these layers when drawing the vectors. HOG processes the resulting raster image and maps the pixels in the image to ground textures, picking a particular texture where the colour is closest.
