Approach

  1. 01

    Height

    Two octaves of noise form the terrain.

  2. 02

    Lines

    The fractional height gives evenly spaced contours.

  3. 03

    Weight

    Every fifth line is heavier and tinted.

Topographies

Because the lines come from math rather than images, they stay sharp on every screen.
