1. Construct a series of CAPPI products to span the selectable layer, spaced uniformly
over the height interval. The number used is the larger of one for every 500 meters
(1640 ft 5 in) or one for every 2 pixels of side panel size, up to a maximum of 50. The
values are interpolated to create the side panel image.
2. Determine the maximum data values for the horizontal and vertical projections: East-
West and North-South.
• The horizontal maximum projection is calculated from the highest data value in a
user-specified layer over each pixel.
• The E-W maximum projection is obtained from the maximum data for each pixel
along the corresponding N-S line.
• The N-S maximum projection is obtained from the maximum data along E-W lines.
3. Smoothing, if enabled.
