Graph Style: Azimuth-Elevation

A plot of the maximum elevation angle vs azimuth angle of the points of the Az El Mask. The maximum elevation angle is the maximum elevation angle of the line of sight from the object to any terrain along that azimuth. Any object whose elevation is above the maximum elevation is not obstructed by terrain along that azimuth. Objects whose elevation is below the maximum elevation may or may not be obstructed, depending upon their distance from the object. The Az El Mask itself contains a table of the elevation as a function of distance from the object along each azimuth.

x	Title	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Azimuth	Azimuth	Real Number or Text	Angle	The angle from North, measured in the topocentric horizontal plane, of the line-of-sight direction. The angle increases in the clockwise direction about zenith.

Y Axis: Elevation

Curve	Title	Element	Type	Dimension	Description
1	Elevation	Elevation	Real Number or Text	Angle	The angle that the line-of-sight direction makes with the topocentric horizontal plane, positive toward zenith.
