HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
APPROX_DEPR A <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible to represent the <BOUNDARY> of a <TERRAIN_DEPRESSION>, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; approximate depression. 1 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:15] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
APPROX_INDEX An <<<INDEX>>> <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; approximate index. 2 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:7] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
APPROX_INTERM_DEPR An <<<INTERM_DEPR>>> <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; approximate intermediate depression. 3 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:18] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
CARRYING_CONTOUR A single <CONTOUR> representing two or more <CONTOUR>s; carrying contour. A carrying <CONTOUR> is used to portray a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> of steep (near vertical) slope (for example: a <CLIFF>). 4 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:19 and 21] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
CONNECTOR An arbitrary connector in a <NETWORK> of <CONTOUR>s, created to establish a zone of <<TERRAIN_ELEVATION>>s as a <POLYGONAL_FACE>, and not used to define any data or irreconcilable source data <REGION>s. 5 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:99] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
ERRONEOUS A <CONTOUR> known to no longer correspond with the <<TERRAIN_ELEVATION>>, but has been retained because the information could not be updated; erroneous. 6 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:98] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
FORM_LINE A <LINE> drawn on a <MAP> to show the estimated configuration of <<TERRAIN_ELEVATION>>s between <CONTOUR>s; form line. 7 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:4] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INDEX Every fourth or fifth <LINE>, depending on the contour interval, is an index <CONTOUR>. An index <CONTOUR> is accentuated by increasing its line weight. With few exceptions, index <CONTOUR>s are continuous throughout a <MAP> even though the <CONTOUR>s may coalesce because of steep slopes. 8 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:1] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INDEX_DEPR An <<<INDEX>>> representing the <BOUNDARY> of a <TERRAIN_DEPRESSION>. 9 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:5] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INDEX_MOUND An <<<INDEX>>> representing the <BOUNDARY> of a mound. 10 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:8] [SDLG], [DCW]

Group membership:

In addition to the status and date information for each entry, a colour coding scheme highlights the database holding to which an entry belongs. The following highlight colours are used:

  • white - the entry is in the standard
  • yellow - the entry has been added to the register
  • pink - the entry has been submitted for inclusion in the register, but it is not approved
  • cyan - a deprecated entry that was originally either in the standard or was added to the register, but has since been deprecated

The following icons are used to identify items that have figures, modifications and/or clarification notes:

  • F n - has Figures and, if more than one figure, n figures
  • M - has Modifications
  • C - has Clarifications
