In that article, I describe drawing a shaded topographic map in Tableau. BackgroundĪs is the case with many of my articles, this one builds upon something I previously published.

I also show how you can render raw topo data. Right now, I show how you can draw simulated topographic contour lines in Tableau if you have a regular, hi-resolution structured grid of topographic data. I will be revisiting it in the future to add more quantitative techniques once I develop the methods I have envisioned. I’ll also say that this article is not finished. The techniques shown in this article are a little sneaky because I use a couple of sublime mathematical operators and I use Alteryx to crush some raw data.
