Color Intervals: Plot solid color-filled regions representing the distribution of z-values in the study site. |
![]() |
Contour Lines: Plot lines representing the distribution of "z-values" (elevation, geochemistry, etc.) in the study site. |
![]() |
Labeled-Cells: (Available only for grid-based maps.) Draw a grid of lines corresponding to the grid model nodes, and fills the cells with labels for the node values. |
![]() |
Gradient Vectors: (Available only for grid-based maps.) Displays small arrows between grid nodes to represent uphill or downhill gradients. |
![]() |
Background Image: Displays a raster image in the background of the other map layers. |
![]() |
Labeled Axes: Plot border tick marks and coordinates labels, and axis titles. |
![]() |
Map Overlays: Access a suite of point, polyline, borehole, infrastructure, land grid, and polygon map layers, listed below. |

![]() |
Other 2D Files: Add up to 5 existing Rockplot2D files to your new map or diagram, such as a base map layer on a new contour map. |
![]() |
Peripherals: Add a north arrow, scale bar, logo, title block, legend, and more to your map or diagram. |
![]() |
Triangulation Network: (Available only for Triangulation Contour maps only.) Displays the network of triangles constructed by the program to build the map contours. |
