An Example of Input and Graphic Display of Topographic Profiles by a Personal Computer System

Abstract

Topographic profiles are frequently utilized for geological studies. However, the drawing work is fairly complicated. In this report, an example of the drawing method by a personal computer system is presented. The accuracy of the profiles drawn by this system is nearly equal to one by hand work and, furthermore, the required time is very short. This system is considered as a promising means for topographical and geological works.
