+This layer shows the topographical map.
+
+When the layer is on, when moving over a cell, its height will be displayed in the [Bottom label tooltip](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/wiki/2.1-(UI)-Controls#bottom-label-tooltip).
+
+A topographic map describes the height (relative to sea level) of the map at the various points (cells).
+
+All secondary data (rivers, cities, countries, markers, etc.) depend on the topographical map, so it is of great importance.

+
+
+
+## Connection to other layers
+
+It is recommended to see together with the Relief layer. The mountains will be shown in the orange or red areas of the map.
+
+It is also recommended to see together with the biomes layer, when one of the layers is semi-transparent (this can be done in the style editor).
+
+## Representation of colors in the topographic map
+
+Each cell is associated with a height, which is a number between 0 and 100, where each number corresponds to a certain height in feet (ft).
+
+And of course each cell is associated with a certain color that represents that height.
+
+0 is -3248 feet, 100 is 22061 feet. 20 is 13 feet.
+
+Note: The jump between number to number is not constant. For example 10 is -164 feet, 11 is -134 feet (with a difference of 30). 12 is -109 feet (difference 25).
+
+### purple (0)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the elevation is 0 (-3248 feet).
+
+Represents deep sea.
+
+There are some purple-blue colors that gradually lighten until they reach a blue color (ranging from 0 to 10).
+
+These colors also represent a sea, which is becoming less and less deep.
+
+### blue (10)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the height is 10 (-164 feet).
+
+Represents a sea that begins to approach the land.
+
+There are some turquoise blue colors that gradually lighten until they reach a dark green color (ranging from 10 to 20 height).
+
+These colors also represent a sea, which becomes less and less deep, until the depth of a beach.
+
+### dark green (20)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the height is 20 (13 feet).
+
+Represents low-lying areas, close to sea level.
+
+There are some dark green colors that gradually lighten until they reach a yellowish green color (ranging from height 10 to 20).
+
+These colors represent low hills.
+
+### teal green (30)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the elevation is 30 (472 feet).
+
+Represents medium hills.
+
+There are some yellowish green colors that gradually lighten until they reach a yellow color (ranging from 30 to 50 height).
+
+These colors represent medium mountains.
+
+### yellow (50)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the altitude is 50 (3360 feet).
+
+represents Mt.
+
+There are some yellow colors that gradually darken until they reach a yellow color (ranging from 50 to 60 height).
+
+These colors represent high mountains.
+
+### yellow orange (60)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the color is 60 (5788 feet).
+
+represents very high mountains.
+
+There are some yellow-orange colors that gradually darken until they reach an orange color (ranging from 60 to 70 height).
+
+These colors represent very very high mountains... from here on all colors represent very very very high mountains.
+
+### orange (70)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the altitude is 70 (8872 feet).
+
+There are some reddish orange colors that gradually darken until they reach a red color (between 70 and 80 height).
+
+### light red (80)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+
+Here the color is 80 (12612 feet).
+
+There are some red colors that gradually darken until they reach a dark burgundy color (between 80 and 100 height).
+
+### dark burgundy (100)
+
+Show Image
+
+
+
+
+Here the color is 100 (22061 feet).
+
+This is the maximum height.
+
+## Gradients
+The sharper the transition between one color and another (for example from dark green to dark brown), this means that the slope of the height difference is greater.
