Hypsometric Areas are retained for historical purposes only. No alterations or maintenance will be conducted on this feature class. The remaining rules for this feature type are retained purely for reference purposes.

The elevation of the hypsometric areas is defined as the minimum elevation of all the bounding contours (excluding auxiliary contours).

Areas enclosed by one depression contour will carry for elevation the value of the depression contour minus the contour interval.

Where hypsometric areas meet the edge of the working database the elevations must match those of any adjoining areas which have working data available.

General - All Scales

Hypsometric Area are bounded by features in the Contours feature class.

Adjacent Hypsometric Areas must have their elevations differing by only one contour interval.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 0.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 0 when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

General - All Scales

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specifcation documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.
