Foil 61 Terrain rendering in VRML -- Creation of VRML files

From IBM Tutorial on Web Technology for HPCC IBM Poughkeepsie -- February 7 1996. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE
The creation of VRML files is automatic - a special translator has been developed.
The elevation data is transformed to a set of points.
The color data defines colors of particular points.
The points are linked to obtain surfaces.
For each area two VRML files are created: with higher and lower resolution for use with LOD nodes.
