Resources
DEMs (Digital Elevation Models), etc.
Need elevation data? Other related tools? Ben Discoe's Virtual Terrain Project site has tons of links to helpful stuff.
Daylon Xaos
Our version of the Xaos realtime fractal explorer that can copy fractal imagery to Leveller as elevation data.
TabletTest
A small Windows program that lets you test your graphics tablet. If e.g. Leveller is not using your tablet correctly, you can try TabletTest to help pinpoint the problem.
ImageWindow
A simple Windows applet that lets you view uncompressed TGA images with choosable transparency over other running applications. Handy, for example, when checking if a Leveller scene matches a reference photograph. A more advanced version using the .NET 4 framework is available here.
Console Tools
Our console (command-line) utilities for dumping USGS DEM and ESRI shapefile files, and reversing the internal row order of TGA files. This can be helpful when debugging problems with file import/export.
