	LongitudePosts	Gets or sets the number of posts in the longitude direction. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	MinimumSampleSpacing	Gets the smallest distance between the successive height samples of the terrain data, in radians. If the return value is 0.0, then the minimum sample spacing is unknown. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	NativeToMeters	Gets or sets the value to multiply a height in the native units of the terrain provider to convert it to meters. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	NeedsSpecialCoordinateProcessing	Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not special processing of longitude and latitude coordinates is required by this terrain provider. If this value is , GetHeightNativeUnits(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator) will call ProcessCoordinates(Double, Double) before using the coordinates to load sets of posts or interpolate heights. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	NorthernPostOffsetNativeUnits	Gets or sets the latitude offset (from the north) of the northern-most post in the terrain provider. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	RadiansToNative	Gets or sets the value to multiply an angle in radians by in order to convert it to the internal units of the terrain provider. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	CartographicExtentToIndexExtent	Gets the post indices corresponding to a given cartographic extent. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetFirstPartials(Double, Double)	Get the partial derivatives of height with respect to the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetFirstPartials(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator)	Get the interpolated partial derivatives of height with respect to the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetGradient	Get the interpolated gradient of height with respect to the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. This method produces a vector representing the gradient of height in the ShapeFixedFrame. Note: The direction for the gradient is defined for use as the outward facing surface normal direction. To obtain the directional derivative for the height (rate of change of height with respect to time), take the negative gradient and dot it with a unit vector along the desired azimuth (change in height with respect to distance), times the speed along that direction in meters/second. The gradient, as defined above, is parallel to the upward facing terrain surface normal, but its magnitude indicates the rate of change in the height at that location. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHeight(Double, Double)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude using the default interpolator for this terrain provider. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetHeight(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude using the specified TerrainInterpolatorTData. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetHeightNativeUnits(Double, Double)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetHeightNativeUnits(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetHeightRelativeToShape(Double, Double)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. This method takes into account the heights of any reference surfaces. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	GetHeightRelativeToShape(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator)	Gets the interpolated height of the terrain at the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. This method takes into account the heights of any reference surfaces. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetHessian	Get the interpolated hessian matrix based on the function of height with respect to the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. This method produces a matrix representing the mixed second order partial derivatives of height in the ShapeFixedFrame. Note: The direction for the gradient and hessian is defined for use with the directional derivative on the surface. The gradient is defined to be orthogonal to the terrain surface with its surface projection in the direction of the greatest increase in the height. To obtain the second directional derivative for the height (acceleration of height along a particular azimuth), take the negative of the hessian then pre and post multiply it by the velocity vector along the desired azimuth. Then add the negative gradient dotted with the derivative of the velocity vector along the surface. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	GetLocalMinimumSampleSpacing	Gets the smallest distance between the successive height samples of the terrain data, in radians, at the specified coordinates. If the return value is 0.0, then the minimum sample spacing is unknown. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	GetNormal	Get the normal vector to the terrain surface at the specified location. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	GetPosts	Gets the posts over a specified area by reading them from the terrain data source. This method is not expected to do any caching. (Overrides RasterTerrainProviderGetPosts(RasterTerrainIndexExtent).)
	GetSecondPartials(Double, Double)	Get the second order (mixed) partial derivatives of height with respect to the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetSecondPartials(Double, Double, RasterTerrainInterpolator)	Get the second order (mixed) partial derivatives of height with respect to the specified longitude and latitude relative to the provider's Shape. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IndexToLatitude	Gets the latitude, in native units, of the post at a specified index. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	IndexToLongitude	Gets the longitude, in native units, of the post at a specified index. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	InGlobalBounds	Returns if the coordinates are in global bounds which is: [-π, π] for longitude and [-π/2, π/2] for latitude. (Inherited from TerrainProvider.)
	LatitudeToIndex	Gets the index of the post at or immediately to the south of the specified latitude. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	LongitudeToIndex	Gets the index of the post at or immediately to the west of the specified longitude. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	PreloadExtent	Loads the terrain data in a given CartographicExtent into the terrain cache. This method does not return until the terrain data is fully loaded. All terrain data within the extent is loaded into memory, even if doing so would exceed the TerrainCacheGroup's MaximumSize. Furthermore, the loaded terrain data is locked in memory (meaning it will not be unloaded) until the user calls UnloadExtent(CartographicExtent). This method is safe to call from any thread. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	ProcessCoordinates	Performs any additional processing of coordinate values prior to using them to load sets of posts or for interpolating heights. This method is only called if NeedsSpecialCoordinateProcessing is . (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	UnloadExtent	Unloads the cached terrain data for a given CartographicExtent. This method unloads all cached regions where any part of the region falls within the extent. It does not return until the regions have been unloaded. However, if a region within the extent is being used in another thread while this method is executing, the region may be reloaded immediately after this method unloads it. This method is safe to call from any thread. (Inherited from RasterTerrainProvider.)
