HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INTERM One of the three or four <LINE>s between adjacent <<<INDEX>>> <CONTOUR>s, having about half the line weight of an <<<INDEX>>> <CONTOUR>; intermediate. An intermediate <CONTOUR> is normally continuous throughout a <MAP>, but may be dropped or joined with an <<<INDEX>>> <CONTOUR> where the slope is steep and where there is insufficient space to show all of the intermediate <LINE>s. 11 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:2] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INTERM_APPROX An <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; intermediate approximate. 12 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:12] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INTERM_DEPR An <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR> representing the <BOUNDARY> of a <TERRAIN_DEPRESSION>. 13 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:6] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
INTERM_MOUND An <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR> representing the <BOUNDARY> of a mound. 14 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:9] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP A <CONTOUR> that is used to portray important relief characteristics that would not otherwise be shown by <<<INDEX>>> and <<<INTERM>>> (basic <CONTOUR>s); supplementary. A supplementary <CONTOUR> is shown as a screened <LINE> so that it is distinguishable from <<<INDEX>>> and <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR>s and not unduly prominent on a <MAP>. 15 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:16] [SDLG], [DCW]

HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP_APPROX A <<<SUPP>>> <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; supplementary approximate. 16 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:13] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD

HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP_CARRYING_CONTOUR A supplementary <<<CARRYING_CONTOUR>>>. 17 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:20] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP_DEPR A <<<SUPP>>> <CONTOUR> representing the <BOUNDARY> of a <TERRAIN_DEPRESSION>. 18 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:22] [SDLG], [DCW]

HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP_DEPR_APPROX A <<<SUPP_DEPR>>> <CONTOUR>, used in a <TERRAIN_SURFACE_REGION> where an accurate <CONTOUR> is not feasible, and depicted on a <MAP> with a dashed <LINE>; supplemental depression approximate. 19 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:23] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07
HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE
SUPP_ONE_HALF A <<<SUPP>>> <CONTOUR> with one half the interval between <<<INDEX>>> and <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR>s. 20 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:3] [SDLG], [DCW]

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

  • 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
