Syntax
public GlobeViewResolution ElevationResolution { get; set; }Property Value
Remarks
This property controls the resolution of the ground mesh. A higher value will create a more detailed mesh. A lower value will generate a softer ground mesh with less detail, but will give better performance.
The property affects which tiles are loaded by the GlobeView, and therefore also affects the resolution of the surface textures. But the GlobeView compensates for that when it calculates the surface resolution for a tile, so the average surface resolution should be about the same, regardless of this property. Use SurfaceResolution to adjust the resolution of the surface textures.
Example
// Increase the ground mesh resolution one step. This
// will improve rendering quality, but will also affect
// memory and CPU/GPU usage.
public static void IncreaseElevationResolution(GlobeView globeView)
{
// Increase the current resolution.
switch (globeView.ElevationResolution)
{
case GlobeViewResolution.VeryLow:
globeView.ElevationResolution = GlobeViewResolution.Low;
break;
case GlobeViewResolution.Low:
globeView.ElevationResolution = GlobeViewResolution.Medium;
break;
case GlobeViewResolution.Medium:
globeView.ElevationResolution = GlobeViewResolution.High;
break;
case GlobeViewResolution.High:
globeView.ElevationResolution = GlobeViewResolution.VeryHigh;
break;
default:
// Already at maximum resolution
break;
}
