Closes #1912 (step 5 of the #1782 relief sequence).

Problem

A Shaded Relief has one light, the sun. A slope turned away from it is drawn at the ambient floor (a quarter of its colour), and with cast shadows (#1796) a whole valley can sit there: a gully on the shaded side of a ridge reads as a flat dark patch.

What changes

  • raster.symbology "fill" (0 to 1, default 0) on Shaded Relief: a fill light from the side opposite the sun (sun azimuth + 180°), 55° up. Each cell gains fill × max(0, L − sin 55°) of its colour, where L is the Lambert term toward that light, from the same Horn slopes (and Z factor) as the hillshade. Flat ground gets exactly sin 55° and gains nothing, nor does a slope turned to the sun; the more a slope faces the fill, the more it gains (at most about 0.18 of its colour at 1). Left out, a Shaded Relief keeps its fill, as shadow and sky.
  • Engine (crates/render/src/raster.rs): Pass1::light works the fill out per cell beside the direct and ambient lights, so blend smooths it with Bilinear like the rest ([Bug]: Shaded Relief ignores Bilinear resampling: its light is one value per DEM cell, blocky at large scales, high DPI and in tilted views #1880). It's kept in its own plane only when the fill is above 0.
  • Colour (Colorizer::paint): the fill is its own term, colour × (ambient + 0.75 × direct + fill), passed as a new fill argument of color_lit. It isn't folded into the hillshade, so the balanced light proposed in [Feature]: Shaded Relief: balanced light, so flat ground keeps the ramp's colour and lit slopes brighten #1977, which reshapes the same composition, can be combined with it later.
  • Saved with the project only when it isn't 0 (skip_serializing_if, as shadow and sky): existing projects draw today's pixels and their saved text doesn't change.
  • Symbology pane: a Fill light control under Sky visibility, with a tooltip.
  • User guide (docs/user-guide/data.md): a Fill light paragraph; the Bilinear paragraph lists it among the blended lights.

Choices

  • Only the slopes turned to the fill gain. The plain additive fill (measured in [Feature]: Shaded Relief: a fill light that opens the slopes in shadow without flattening the map #1912) lifts flat ground as much as the slopes and washes the map out; removing flat ground's share keeps the map's tone.
  • One strength, a fixed direction and height. Opposite the sun is where the light is missing; 55° keeps the fill from drawing long gradients of its own. fillAzimuth/fillAltitude could follow if someone needs them.
  • Not shadowed. It stands for light scattered from the sky and the facing slopes; cast shadows still darken only the sun's light, and sky visibility only the ambient.
  • Nothing to work out off the frame. It's one more Lambert term from the 3 × 3 window already read, so it is drawn at once, needs no grid, cache or notice, and casts_shadows is unchanged.

Measured

Copernicus DEM GLO-30, Caparaó (Minas Gerais/Espírito Santo), 1006 × 1260 cells in EPSG:4326. rustgis-cli exports at 1600 × 1100, Shaded Relief with the Terrain ramp, sun 315° / 30°, Z factor 1.5, shadow 0.8, Bilinear. Grey level of the exported pixels (0–255, Rec. 601 luma):

Mean Std. deviation (contrast) Darkest fifth's mean
Flat 1:60,000, fill 0 (today) 101.0 65.4 38.7
Flat, fill 0.3 102.8 64.1 42.9
Flat, fill 0.6 104.6 62.8 46.7
Tilted 60°, 1:80,000, fill 0 (today) 137.5 81.6 44.1
Tilted, fill 0.3 138.7 80.4 48.6
Tilted, fill 0.6 139.9 79.2 52.6

The darkest fifth (the shaded slopes) rises about 4 grey levels per 0.3 of fill while the mean moves under 2 and the contrast stays within 2 %. The tilted rows include the white page behind the terrain, the same in each. CPU time per export was the same within run-to-run noise (4.2–4.5 s flat, 5.2–5.8 s tilted, one run each).

Tests

  • render::raster::the_fill_light_opens_only_the_slopes_turned_toward_it: with fill 0, flat ground, a slope to the sun and a slope to the fill draw today's colour exactly; flat ground and the slope to the sun gain nothing at fill 1; the slope to the fill gains fill × (L − sin 55°), more at 1 than at 0.3. It also checks the flat-ground constant against hillshade.
  • engine::tests::shaded_relief_keeps_its_fill_light: set, clamped to 0–1, kept when left out, saved only when not 0, and back after project.saveAs / project.open.
  • Locally with RUSTGIS_LANGUAGE=en: rustgis-map, rustgis-render, rustgis-engine and rustgis-ui-egui --lib pass, apart from gdal_formats_open_when_gdal_is_installed (this PC's GDAL 3.7.1) and one WMS UI test that fails only in the full run and passes alone. cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings and cargo fmt --check are clean.

Limits

  • The fill's gain is rounded to whole 1/255 steps of the colour, as the other lights are.
  • Saved format. fill is written only when it isn't 0, under project::FORMAT 1, as shadow (feat(raster): Shaded Relief casts soft shadows (#1782, part 1) #1796) and sky (feat(raster): Shaded Relief dims its ambient light by the sky each cell sees (#1782, part 2) #1871) were. An older RustGIS opens such a project, draws the relief without the fill, and drops it if it saves the project again. Bumping the format would make older versions refuse every project, fill or not, so this follows the existing relief settings; whether the relief settings together should move to a new format is the maintainers' call.
  • The fill is drawn wherever the relief is, including the browser and cloud-optimised GeoTIFFs read in place (it needs no grid).
  • i18n/*.tsv is left for the maintainers: the new label and tooltip show in English until translated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Shaded Relief layers now support adjustable fill light from the side opposite the sun, with strength from 0 to 1.
    • Fill light settings are retained when updating symbology and saved in projects when nonzero.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the raster guide with fill light controls, behavior, and resampling details.

…shadow (opengeos#1912)

A `fill` setting (0 to 1, default 0) on Shaded Relief adds a second light
from the side opposite the sun, 55° up. Each cell gains
fill × max(0, L − sin 55°) of its colour, L its Lambert term toward that
light from the same Horn slopes as the hillshade: flat ground and slopes
turned to the sun gain nothing, slopes turned away from it gain the more
they face the fill. Nothing shadows it.

The fill is its own term in Colorizer::paint (ambient + direct + fill), is
blended between cells with Bilinear like the other lights, and is saved
only when it isn't 0. raster.symbology takes "fill" (kept when left out),
and the Symbology pane has a Fill light control beside Sky visibility.

Walkthrough

Shaded Relief now supports a fill-light setting from 0 to 1. The renderer calculates fill from the direction opposite the sun and applies it during raster colorization. Symbology commands and the UI expose the setting, and tests and documentation describe its behavior and persistence.

Changes: Shaded Relief Fill Light

Layer / File(s) Summary
Renderer contract and color composition
crates/map/src/raster.rs, crates/map/src/qgis/*
The shaded-relief renderer adds a default-zero fill field. Colorization accepts an optional fill contribution and includes it in the shaded-relief color multiplier. QGIS renderer initialization and related fixtures include the new field.
Fill-light raster rendering
crates/render/src/*, crates/ui-egui/src/mapview.rs
The render pass calculates fill from the opposite azimuth, carries it through bilinear blending, and passes it to colorization. Tests cover fill-light response and update shaded-relief renderer fixtures.
Symbology controls and persistence
crates/engine/src/cmd/raster.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, docs/user-guide/data.md
The symbology command retains an existing fill when omitted, defaults new renderers to zero, and clamps values to 0–1. The UI exposes a Fill light control. Tests cover command behavior and project save/reopen; the guide documents fill lighting and bilinear resampling.

This adds an optional Fill light setting to Shaded Relief that defaults to 0, so existing output and saved projects are unchanged. No actionable merge-blocking issue remains.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(render): a fill light on Shaded Relief that opens the slopes in shadow (#1912)" matches the main change. The PR adds a configurable Fill light to Shaded Relief that brightens only slopes facing the fill direction, opposite the sun. The title is specific and follows a conventional commit style. It is slightly long at 83 characters, but it is clear.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template well. It has a Summary (Problem, What changes, Choices, Measured, Tests, Limits), a Testing section with specific tests and commands, and a UI evidence section with before and after screenshots and a Symbology pane screenshot. It links the issue with 'Closes #1912'. The template's UI evidence section says 'No visible UI change', but this PR does change visible UI, and the author correctly replaced that line with screenshots. The Related issue section is covered by the 'Closes #1912' line in the description body rather than in the template's dedicated section.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1912 has no non-coding requirements. Its coding requirements are:

  • Setting raster.symbology fill (0 to 1, default 0) on Shaded Relief. The summary states that engine code (crates/engine/src/cmd/raster.rs) keeps an existing value when omitted, defaults to 0 for a new renderer, and clamps to 0 to 1. Test engine::tests::shaded_relief_keeps_its_fill_light covers this.
  • Formula fill × max(0, L − sin 55°) from an opposite-azimuth light at 55° over the same Horn slopes (crates/render/src/raster.rs, Pass1, FILL_ALTITUDE, FILL_FLAT). Test render::raster::the_fill_light_opens_only_the_slopes_turned_toward_it covers flat ground (zero gain), a sun-facing slope (zero gain), and a fill-facing slope (gain rising with fill).
  • Default output unchanged: with fill 0, the test asserts today's colour exactly. Saved only when not 0 (skip_serializing_if, shared is_no_light predicate).
  • Not shadowed: the fill is a separate term in Colorizer::color_lit (crates/map/src/raster.rs), not part of cast-shadow or sky terms.
  • Bilinear: the fill plane is carried in Pass1::light and blended with the other light planes.
  • UI control 'Fill light' in the Symbology pane (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs).
    Limit: the text diff of crates/render/src/raster.rs and crates/map/src/raster.rs could not be read at this review (changed blobs missing from the checkout). The formula and test behaviour are established from the whole-PR change summary and PR description, which agree with each other. No contrary evidence was found. The change since the previous review (shared is_no_light predicate, clamp and documentation wording) does not alter these requirements.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed areas support the fill light objective from #1912:

  • Engine setting and project persistence (crates/engine/src/cmd/raster.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs).
  • Fill term in the render and colour path (crates/render/src/raster.rs, crates/render/src/raster_export.rs, crates/map/src/raster.rs).
  • Test fixtures in crates/map, crates/render, crates/ui-egui that set fill: 0.0 on the new struct field; these keep existing output unchanged.
  • Symbology control (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs) and user-guide text (docs/user-guide/data.md), including the Bilinear list.
    No unrelated behaviour change was identified in the whole-PR summary. The text diff could not be read at this review, so this verdict relies on the summary and PR description, which agree.

AGENTS.md (saved files): fill is written into projects without a format bump. project::FORMAT is still 1 (crates/engine/src/project.rs:58), and its doc says to advance it "when an older reader would lose meaningful saved information on resaving". An older RustGIS reads a project with "fill": 0.3, ignores the unknown key, and saves the project again without it. That is a silent loss, which the "Never silent" rule and docs/maintaining.md#saved-files-and-settings both rule out.

The PR does not say why no bump is needed. shadow and sky appear to have shipped the same way under FORMAT 1, so this may be existing practice the docs have not caught up with. Either way it is a decision for the maintainers, since the project lead owns how a project stores its data. Please either bump the format (accepting that older versions refuse the file) or state why the omitted-when-zero field is acceptable, and mention the choice in the PR description.

Confidence: medium. I did not check the git history for when shadow and sky were added.

Kept as is, following shadow (#1796) and sky (#1871), which were saved the same way under FORMAT 1: fill is written only when it isn't 0, so no existing project's file changes, and an older RustGIS draws the relief without the fill (and drops it on a resave). Bumping FORMAT would make older versions refuse every project, fill or not. The PR description now says this under Limits; moving the relief settings to a new format together is left to the maintainers.

Code review

Bugs: No defects found in the changed code. I checked the fill term and its test, the threaded buffer and cache changes, the Lit blend, the Symbology pane's slider mapping, and every ShadedRelief construction and match across the workspace (all updated). The fill constant FILL_FLAT = 209 matches round(255 × sin 55°), and the test pins it.

Security: None found. The new fill parameter is clamped to 0–1 and parsed like shadow and sky.

Performance: None found. The fill is one extra Lambert term per grid cell, computed only when fill > 0, inside the existing threaded pass.

Quality (nits, left for the release quality pass per AGENTS.md):

  • crates/map/src/raster.rs:1372 reuses is_no_shadow as the skip predicate for fill. The name reads wrong for a fill light. A neutral name such as is_zero_light would be clearer. (Confidence: high.)
  • The docs say the fill gives "up to about a fifth of its colour at 1". The real maximum is (255 − 209)/255 ≈ 0.18, as the PR body says. (Confidence: high.)
  • The PR's Limits section says the gain moves "in steps of 1/255 × fill". The code rounds fill × Δ to whole 1/255 steps, so the step is 1/255 of the colour, not fill/255. (Confidence: high.)

AGENTS.md:

  • Saved-file format (medium confidence): fill is saved with projects, but project::FORMAT stays at 1. An older RustGIS would drop the field silently on resave, which conflicts with the "Never silent" rule and the saved-files guidance. Inline comment posted at crates/map/src/raster.rs:1373. Shadow and sky appear to have set the precedent under FORMAT 1, so this may need a maintainer decision rather than a code change.
  • The other AGENTS.md points check out: no unwrap/panic in non-test code, the new label and tooltip use tl!, no new dependencies, and the wasm path is unaffected.

Earlier review threads: None existed (prior-reviews.json was empty), so no earlier concerns were left alone.

…e zero-light predicate

The user guide gives the fill light as fill × max(0, L − sin 55°) and its
real maximum (0.18 of the colour), and the serde predicate that leaves a
relief light of 0 out of the saved file is is_no_light, as it now serves
shadow, sky and fill.

Round 1 (claude-review and CodeRabbit) in e5a22ee: the serde predicate is now is_no_light (it serves shadow, sky and fill), the user guide gives the formula with its max(0, …) and the real maximum (0.18 of the colour), and the description's Limits fix the rounding wording and explain the saved format. No code behaviour changed.

AGENTS.md (screenshots): the new Fill light row has no screenshot. AGENTS.md (Looking at the app) asks that any visible change include screenshots, and new UI gets an "after" shot. The PR's images show only the map output. Please add a screenshot of the Symbology pane's Shaded Relief section with the new row, rendered with ui_shot.

Confidence: medium. The map images may already count for the render change, but the new slider is visible UI on its own.

Code review

Bugs: None found. I checked the fill-light math against hillshade: flat ground gives 209 (sin 55° × 255), the gain is clamped at zero, and the maximum is about 0.18 of the colour. The draw, blend, colour-cache and UI-to-engine paths are consistent, and no new unwrap, panic or unsafe appears in non-test code. Confidence: high.

Security: None found. The new parameter is clamped to 0–1, and a NaN value would only produce zero gain. Confidence: high.

Performance: No concern. Pass1::light calls hillshade a second time per cell, but only when fill > 0, and the PR reports the same CPU time within run-to-run noise. Confidence: medium.

Quality (grouped nits, for the release quality pass):

  • docs/user-guide/data.md: "Flat ground gets exactly sin 55° of it" does not say what "it" refers to. The "Nothing shadows it…" line is also very long.
  • FILL_FLAT = 209.0 is a hand-copied hillshade value. The test guards it, so this is low risk.
  • The Bilinear blend and the mask path have no test that exercises the fill plane. The existing bilinear_relief_* tests only cover the other lights.

AGENTS.md:

  • Inline comment posted on crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:6756: the new Fill light control is visible UI, and the PR has no screenshot of it. Confidence: medium.
  • Open question, not a finding: the PR notes that one WMS UI test fails in the full local run and passes alone. Please confirm that CI on Linux is green, or that the same failure happens on main.

Already raised, left alone (1):

  • crates/map/src/raster.rs:1373: saving fill under project::FORMAT 1 without a bump means an older RustGIS drops the fill when it saves the project again. This conflicts with the "Never silent" rule and docs/maintaining.md ("a format's version goes up only when a file uses something an older reader would lose"). The PR body explains the choice, but the thread has no reply from the author or a maintainer, so the concern still stands and needs an answer.
  • The earlier zero-clamp thread on docs/user-guide/data.md is outdated: the current formula already includes max(0, …). I did not re-post it.

Second claude-review run: no bugs. The screenshot of the new row is now in the description. CI on Linux is green on e5a22ee (the WMS UI test passes there and passes alone locally). The saved-format thread has a reply (FORMAT 1, as shadow and sky; the maintainers' call). The other points are nits left for the release quality pass.

Code review

No bugs, security problems or AGENTS.md violations found in the changed code. I read the diff and the surrounding code: the hillshade helper, the light and blend path in Pass1, the colour pass, the engine's parameter handling, and the Symbology pane. I did not build or run the tests; the author reports them passing locally.

Bugs

  • None found. I checked the fill term against hillshade: flat ground gives 209 at 55° (≈ 255·sin 55°), so it gains nothing, and the gain is capped at about 0.18 as documented. The bilinear blend, the colour cache key, and the save/open round trip all handle fill correctly.

Security

  • None found.

Performance

  • Low confidence (about 25%): when fill > 0, Pass1::light calls hillshade a second time per cell, recomputing the same Horn slopes from the same 3×3 window. Sharing the slopes would remove that cost. The PR's measurements show no CPU change, so this is low priority.

Quality

  • Nit: Colorizer::color_lit now takes two positional Option<u8> arguments (ambient, fill). They are easy to transpose; a small struct would be clearer. Per AGENTS.md, this can wait for the release quality pass.
  • Nit: the color_lit doc comment reads "added for its fill light (its fill)", which is awkward.
  • Nit: the data guide says "Flat ground gets exactly sin 55° of it", and "of it" has no clear referent.

AGENTS.md

  • None found. There are no new unwrap, expect, panic or unsafe calls in non-test code. The engine clamps fill to 0–1, and the render path is clamped too. No new long loop was added, so no Cancel path is needed. Nothing platform-specific was added, so the wasm build is unaffected. New UI strings use tl!. The screenshot and the guide are updated.

Earlier review threads: three concerns were already raised, and I left all three alone. Two were answered by the author: the FORMAT 1 save concern, and the missing screenshot, which the description now includes. The third, the fill formula's zero clamp, was fixed in e5a22ee, and I confirmed the guide now reads fill × max(0, L − sin 55°).

Brings in opengeos#2005 (fill light on Shaded Relief). Fill and rock now sit
together: the rock tint is applied to the colour first, then the ambient,
direct and fill lights shade it. Both are carried per cell in Pass 1,
blended by Bilinear, kept in the Pass 2 colour cache key, parsed by
raster.symbology and shown in the Symbology pane. New tests cover the two
together in the Colorizer and in a full draw.
