Feature Requests / Re: Controlling/Showing Elevation Contours

The elevation shading for maps in 4.05 is very cool, thank you!

However, it appears that (a) the number of ranges is fixed; and (b) the size of each range is not obvious (although I would assume that they're evenly distributed as 1/5 of the difference min and max?)

It would be nice if:
(a) there was some sort of legend to determine which colors refer to which elevations; and/or
(b) there was a way to set the ranges for each color individually (e.g. range 1 is 0-4000, range 2 is 4000-8000, range 3 is 8000-10,000, range 4 is 10-11,000, range 5 is 11,000+ -- note that I am suggesting non-equal-sized ranges here!).

Note that with (a) and the current min-max features you could kinda sorta emulate (b).

(a) is particularly nice when you're using the auto-min-max feature.

Again, thanks! It's actually pretty interesting

I also vote for this feature request.

If I switch the y axis to Grade, then the y axis is scaled from 0% to 14000%, and the x axis shows 0.0 on both ends. In a similar test with a rise of 240 ft over a distance of 294 ft, the correct grade is calculated of 81.7%. But setting the y axis to Grade still produces the obscene graph scaling.

This is something happening with me as well.
