Vertical Exaggeration from Scale Denominators Calculator
Vertical Exaggeration from Scale Denominators Calculator — change the supplied values to calculate vertical exaggeration from scale denominators.
Scale ratio only, not geospatial measurement, elevation accuracy or terrain reconstruction. All monetary inputs use one selected currency with no currency conversion. Numerical binary64 projection.
Accepted inputs: Horizontal scale denominator: 1 to 1,000,000 ratio; Vertical scale denominator: 1 to 1,000,000 ratio.
How the calculation works
horizontal/vertical
At1:H horizontally and1:V vertically, vertical exaggeration factor is H/V.
Worked example
With horizontal scale denominator 50,000 ratio, vertical scale denominator 10,000 ratio, vertical exaggeration from scale denominators is 5 ratio.
Assumptions and limits
Scale ratio only, not geospatial measurement, elevation accuracy or terrain reconstruction. All monetary inputs use one selected currency with no currency conversion. Numerical binary64 projection.
