IHeightmapLayers.LayerMask
|
Remarks:
These heightmap layers store actual terrain data:
Missing data is represented with the Coverage layer. It describes how much information is present in a stored heightmap sample. The semantics of coverage with heightmap samples is the same as premultiplied alpha with texture samples. A LayerMask without Coverage means that all samples are fully solid. If a LayerMask contains the Coverage layer but no others, the coverage values are used to represent 'holes' in the terrain (e.g. creating holes for caves, tunnels, etc.).

Remarks:
Performing a flush may result in I/O work. Depending on the semantics of the implementing class, this work may need to be wrapped in special Begin / End method calls. See the documentation of the implementing classes for details.
