The Radio Coverage Contour Generator produces polygonal representations of coverage areas for a specified signal level threshold. It supports generating contours for: | |||
* '''Individual radios''' - The coverage area for each radio is used as input for generation of polygons | |||
* '''Combined radios''' - The coverage areas for several radios are first combined and then used as input for generation of a polygon. This can be used to create a coverage polygon for a RadioNet by selecting all radios in the RadioNet. | |||
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 coverage for the cells selected for the contour. | |||

The Radio Coverage Contour Generator produces polygonal representations of coverage areas for a specified signal level threshold. It supports generating contours for:
- Individual radios - The coverage area for each radio is used as input for generation of polygons
- Combined radios - The coverage areas for several radios are first combined and then used as input for generation of a polygon. This can be used to create a coverage polygon for a RadioNet by selecting all radios in the RadioNet.
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 coverage for the cells selected for the contour.

Working with Coverage Contours (API)
The API lets you generate, access, and manage coverage polygons for both:
- Individual radios
- Combined radios (combined coverage)
The workflow is the same in both cases.
General contour functions:
- Refresh All Coverage - Used when underlying radio or raidio net data changes
- Clear All Coverage - Resets the system completely
Calculating and handling contour lines are controlled via the interface IMariaRadioPlanLayer.IRadioPlanCoverageContours.
