globalmapper.GenerateContours
=============================

.. currentmodule:: globalmapper

.. py:function:: GenerateContours (GM_LayerHandle_t32 aLayer, GM_ContourParams_t aContourParms) -> GM_Error_t32, GM_LayerHandle_t32

    Generates contours from loaded elevation data and creates a new vector layer with the results. The returned layer
    handle must be closed with :doc:`CloseLayer<../load/globalmapper.CloseLayer>` when you are done with it.

    :param GM_LayerHandle_t32 aLayer: Layer to get elevations from or gm.NULL for topmost layer at each point
    :param GM_ContourParams_t aContourParms: Parameters for generating contours
    :returns: Error Code
    :rtype: GM_Error_t32
    :return: Created contour layer
    :rtype: GM_LayerHandle_t32
