Global Mapper SDK
GM_GenerateContours
Generates contours from loaded elevation data and creates a new vector layer with the results. The layer handle returned in aContourLayer must be closed with GM_CloseLayer when you are done with it.
See the definition of the GM_ContourParams_t type in the GlobalMapperInterface.h header file for a description of what options are available when generating the contour lines, iso-height areas, and/or min/max spot elevations.
