Abstract

With the extensive application of GIS, MapX has become the focus of research on its advantages of convenient and powerful, and the contour line synthesis algorithm is one of the research. This article is focuses on the contour based on MapX synthesis algorithm in Microsoft VC++ implementation in accordance with construction TIN, contour tracking, smooth contours by using the MapX control, manual removal of the TIN network structure edge of the triangle to draw smoothness, accurate, aesthetically pleasing contour. In this paper, the experimental results of the analysis and comparison, not only to ensure the accuracy of drawing analysis, but also greatly shorten the drawing and analysis time.In addition the technology can also be used for the environment, resources, weather and other related fields.
