Using the line tool, draw a line, intermediate clicks will be plotted as a vertical line, a useful feature for determining locations. Finish the line by double clicking. The profile will be displayed. Additional rasters can be added using the dialogue.
An example of comparative elevations for a 10m grid and a 2m grid are shown.
