Figure 7. Calculation of a faces file with the EarthVision
modeling software for the Wakulla Spring cave system developed in
the Floridan aquifer, north Florida. Shades of gray reflect
contours of the modeled parameter (depth). The calculation
involves (A) a three-dimensional grid of depth values measured in
the cave system; (B) clipping with a two-dimensional grid of
points describing the upper part of the cave system; (C) clipping
with a two-dimensional grid of points describing the lower part
of the cave system; and (D) clipping with a polygon constructed
from points describing the outermost perimeter of the cave
system.
