[Gvsig_english] QUESTION gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- Establish aspect and slope of an area based on contour lines?

[Roser]

Hi Simon,

I'm not sure to understand what you want to do.....

If you have a line shapefile where one of the fields gives you the 
altitude data the easiest thing would be going to the symbols label, on 
the layer properties and stablishing an intervals symbology, just with 
that, choosing green and brown colors you can represent the difference 
of altitude. If you had the same information on a polygon shape I guess 
you could try and do the same.

Another posibility that comes to my mind is to use Sextante, an 
extension that you would have to install on gvSIG, but to tell you the 
thruth, as I'm not sure what kind of data do you have and the proceses 
you need to perfom I'm not sure to recomend you that...

Sorry I'm not of much help

regards
