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		 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
2005/06/07		 HYPSOGRAPHIC_PORTRAYAL-
_TYPE		 SUPP_ONE_QUARTER A <<<SUPP>>> <CONTOUR> with one quarter the interval between <<<INDEX>>> and <<<INTERM>>> <CONTOUR>s. 21 IR [FACC, Annex B, HQC:14] [SDLG], [DCW]
STD
2005/06/07		 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		 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]
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		 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		 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]
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
