Inserting the TLM Elevation Guide Bar element

The TLM Elevation Guide Bar surround element is used to display the high and low elevation on a Topographic Line Map (TLM) with a series of hypsometric gray bands. It provides a quick reference for general landforms and accentuates the highest and lowest shape and elevation of the terrain.

The number of hypsometric bands that are displayed will depend on the difference in elevation within the map as follows:

• Two bands—Low and High
• Three bands—Low, Medium, and High
• Four bands—Low, Medium, High, and Highest

メモ:

The surround element is not displayed when only one elevation band is present.

Before inserting this element, you must verify the associated data frame is active. Once inserted, double-clicking the TLM Elevation Guide Bar element allows you to access the TLM Elevation Guide Bar Properties dialog box. The Update Dynamically check box on the TLM Elevation Guide Bar tab is checked by default. When this check box is checked, elevation guide bar properties are automatically updated dynamically based on the associated data frame.

The Elevation Band Feature Class text box also becomes unavailable.
