Countour line generator from LIDAR data
---------------------------------------
This accepts two kinds of contour data:
**2017 variant**: y, x, z, separated by commas:
```
6062999.75,584000.75,88.07
```
Recommended whenever available. It is more dense, gridded (thus much faster),
but not available outside major cities.
**2009 variant**: x, y, z, separated by one or more spaces:
```
501991.670 6150000.000 57.689
```
2009 variant is less dense, non-gridded, therefore significantly slower
(`gdal_grid` must be used as an extra step, which is slow). This variant is
less robust, but available throughout the country.
Usage
-----
1. Download contour lines to zip files in this directory.
2. Adjust `BOUNDS` and `VARIANT` in `config.mk`.
3. Run `make -j$(nproc) smooth_<X>.gpkg`. This will output a geo-package with
contour lines every `X` meters. X can be fractional (e.g.
`smooth_2.5.gpkg`).
4. Optional: you may generate a raster image with `layer2img.py`.
Dependencies for a Linux system:
- docker
- psql (client only)
- gdal-bin
- unzip
- awk
