Abstract: A data structure is presented to store a triangulated irregular network digital elevation model, from which isolines (contour lines) can be extracted very efficiently. If the network is based on n points, then for any elevation, the isolines can be obtained in O(log n + k) query time, where k is the number of line segments that form the isolines. This compares favorably with O(n) time by straightforward computation. When a structured representation of the isolines is needed, the same query time ... (Update)
