The Radio Coverage Contour Generator processes radio signal data and produces polygonal representations of coverage areas. It supports generating contours for:

  • Individual radios
  • Combined radio networks

The workflow is the same in both cases.


Using a marching squares algorithm, the system converts rasterized coverage data into vector polygons that clearly define:

  • Areas with coverage
  • Areas without coverage

The polygon lines are drawn at a specified received signal level threshold for the currently selected Radio/RadioNet.

Coverage Contours for a VHF RadioNet

Settings

Property Type Description
Threshold Decibel Defines the signal strength cutoff for what is considered “coverage.”
Simplify bool Toggles simplification that controls how detailed the polygon shapes are.
SimplificationTolerance double Polygon point tolerance used for simplification. Controls how detailed the polygon shapes are.
MinPolygonAreaWithCoverage double Minimum size for coverage areas

Note: Size is currently based on grid/pixel resolution.

MinPolygonAreaWithNoCoverage double Minimum size for no coverage areas

Note: Size is currently based on grid/pixel resolution.

HasCoverageColor Color Display color for coverage
NoCoverageColor Color Display color for no coverage

Working with Coverage Contours (API)

The API lets you generate, access, and manage coverage polygons for both:

  • Individual radios
  • Combined radio networks

The workflow is the same in both cases.

General contour functions:

  • Refresh All Coverage - Used when underlying radio or raido net data changes
  • Clear All Coverage - Resets the system completely

Calculating and handling contour lines are contolled via the interface IMariaRadioPlanLayer.IRadioPlanCoverageContours.
