In addition to algorithms for gridding, contouring, and cross section display, there are many other tools required for effective computer mapping. Whether a grid, triangulated mesh, or other surface model is used, most of these tools are needed. Where appropriate, the term ''surface model'' is used instead of grid to make the descriptions more general. Here is a list of some of those tools:
In addition to algorithms for gridding, contouring, and [[cross section]] display, there are many other tools required for effective computer mapping. Whether a grid, triangulated mesh, or other surface model is used, most of these tools are needed. Where appropriate, the term ''surface model'' is used instead of grid to make the descriptions more general. Here is a list of some of those tools:
* Single data and surface operations—Add, subtract, multiply, and divide by a constant, trigonometric functions, blank max, blank min, clip max, clip min, normalize, dip and azimuth, statistics, rotate, and so on.
