Smoothing Contours
Contours in topographic maps, 3D contour models or set of prisms can be smoothed in order to enhance their appearance.
The smoothing factor is the number of vertices added between each of the two original contour vertices. A value of zero indicates no smoothing. Note that larger factors create a smoother contour, but increase screen redrawing time and the size of the file.
