Sample Digital Elevation Model Rendering
This scene was rendered from a USGS digital elevation model of the Grand Canyon by the RiverTools application from Rivix, LLC, Broomfield, CO (www.rivix.com). RiverTools was written in IDL, a programming language from Research Systems, Inc. that is specialized for image processing and visualization. The black area is the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon. The red is the immediate surrounding riverbank. (Image courtesy of Research Systems, Inc. and Rivix, LLC.)
