feat(render): the settled tilted frame's mesh grows with the export's pixels, up to the DEM's cells (#1882) - #2017
Since #1523 the settled tilted frame and exports lay each band over the relief as a fixed grid of terrain::SETTLED_CELLS = 160 cells a side, whatever the export's size. At 288 dpi (4800 px wide) a cell is about 30 px, and ridges and the skyline are cut into straight segments again.
What changes
terrain::settled_cells(picture_px, dem_cells): one cell every 4 px of the longer side of the band's picture, at least 160 (today's) and at most 640 (MAX_SETTLED_CELLS), and never more than the ground's own cells across the band.
Ground::cells_across(corners): how many of the ground's cells span a band's ground. For a DEM layer, the band's corners in the DEM's pixel grid, their box clipped to the DEM; for elevation tiles, their pixels at the zoom read.
drape_terrain keeps each band's cell count next to its grid of vertices (band_cells), so bands of different picture sizes get different meshes.
drape_terrain now checks Cancel before each band's grid of heights is read. At 640 cells that is up to 641 × 641 height reads per band, where the doc comment said the reads took tens of milliseconds. It also checks the settled frame's stop flag (render::cancel), both there and every 4096 triangles while drawing, so a frame that goes out of date stops at the next band or within the drawing. A band's grid and its triangle list, once started, still run to their end.
Never past the DEM's cells, but never below 160 either. A small DEM keeps today's 160.
The longer side of the box around the band's corners in the DEM grid. A band turned against the DEM's grid gets a box up to √2 longer than its side, so the cap there is a little loose. That costs at most the 640 ceiling and never cuts detail.

A second DEM (30 m, 1006 × 1260 cells, same settings) gave the same picture: 288 dpi from 6.5–6.9 s to 14.3–14.8 s CPU and from 199–201 MB to 291–293 MB.
288 dpi crops, main (160 cells) left, this PR right: the far massif's skyline (top) and a ridge in the middle distance (bottom) gain the peaks and notches the DEM has.
terrain::tests::the_settled_mesh_follows_the_picture_within_its_bounds: 4 px a cell, the 160 and 640 bounds, the DEM cap, a cap below 160, NaN and infinity.
terrain::tests::a_stretch_spans_the_ground_cells_under_it: a DEM's cells across a stretch, clipped to the DEM; elevation tiles' pixels at their zoom.
tests::the_settled_mesh_follows_the_picture_up_to_the_dem: on a real tilted view's bands, the mesh grows from 1 to 3 pixels a point and reaches 640, a coarser DEM caps it at its cells, and a 120-cell DEM keeps 160 everywhere.
tests::a_settled_frame_gone_out_of_date_stops_laying_its_terrain: with the stop flag set, drape_terrain returns false.
Time. The drawing of the triangles is serial, so a 288 dpi export's wall clock goes from about 5 s to 12 s. Cancel still stops it.
The settled frame on screen gets the same rule, by its own picture's size. A 1600 × 1100 window at 100 % scaling draws the same frame as the 96 dpi export in the table: +35 MB and about 2.3 s more, on the tilt_settle worker and not on the UI thread. At 150 % or 200 % display scaling the bands' pictures are 2400–3200 px, so they get 600–640 cells. Each settle then costs close to the 288 dpi export, a little less. It stays on the worker and stops when the frame goes out of date.
Terrain mesh resolution now adapts to the displayed image size and available terrain coverage, within defined limits. This allows terrain detail to vary with the area and scale being rendered.
Rendering checks for cancellation and outdated frames before loading each terrain section and periodically while drawing. Unneeded rendering work can stop sooner, so the application can move on to newer frames more quickly.
… pixels, up to the DEM's cells (opengeos#1882)
Each band laid over the relief in the settled frame and in exports gets
one mesh cell every 4 px of its picture, within 160 (today's) and 640
cells a side, and never more than the DEM's own cells across the band's
ground (elevation tiles: their pixels at the zoom read). Cancel is looked
at before each band's grid of heights is read.

Walkthrough
Settled terrain mesh resolution now scales with each band’s picture size, subject to minimum and maximum limits and available terrain cell coverage. Terrain draping checks cancellation and frame staleness before building each band’s height grid and uses that band’s resolution for triangle lookup.

Summary
Resolution limits and ground coverage crates/render/src/terrain.rs
Adds resolution limits and a four-pixel target. settled_cells limits resolution by available DEM coverage. Ground::cells_across measures coverage for raster and tile grids. Tests cover resolution bounds and ground coverage.
drape_terrain checks cancellation and frame staleness before each band grid, selects resolution from band picture size and terrain coverage, and stores each band’s cell count for triangle lookup. Tests cover resolution selection and stale-frame cancellation. The cancellation test comment and TERRAIN_CELLS documentation are updated.

Settled terrain meshes can be coarser than the picture allows when the elevation data covers only part of the visible area. This follows the documented cap on cells across the data and is bounded by the 160-cell minimum. The change is safe to merge, and the author may want to confirm this tradeoff.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the settled tilted frame's terrain mesh now scales with the export's picture size, bounded by the DEM's cells. The raw summary confirms per-band cell selection via settled_cells, and the objectives describe the same change. The title follows the conventional commit format and is specific, so it passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1882 asks for a settled-frame mesh per band: one cell per 4 px of the picture, floor 160, ceiling 640, capped by the DEM's cells across the band, with elevation tiles counted at their zoom read. The moving view keeps 40 cells.
Verified in the whole-PR diff of crates/render/src/terrain.rs (merge base to head):
settled_cells(picture_px, dem_cells) divides the picture by 4, applies the finite DEM cap, then clamps to [SETTLED_CELLS (160), MAX_SETTLED_CELLS (640)].
Ground::cells_across(corners) counts DEM cells for Heights::Raster, clipping the corner box to the DEM and handling the geographic seam by whole-turn shifts. It uses pixels at the zoom for Heights::Tiles.
CELLS (40) is unchanged, so the moving view keeps its mesh.
Tests the_settled_mesh_follows_the_picture_within_its_bounds and a_stretch_spans_the_ground_cells_under_it assert these rules, including the 160 floor, 640 ceiling, DEM cap, seam case and tile case.
The per-band wiring in crates/render/src/lib.rs (band_cells, passing each band's count to its mesh) could not be read. The diff tool reported that the changed blobs are missing from the checkout. That wiring rests on the AI summary and the PR description. The PR test tests::the_settled_mesh_follows_the_picture_up_to_the_dem is the evidence for it, but it was not run in this review.
No unmet coding requirement is found in the verified code.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The verified terrain.rs changes implement the sizing rule of #1882. Their tests cover the rule's bounds and the DEM and tile cell counts.
The lib.rs changes, per the summary and PR description, carry each band's cell count to its mesh and add Cancel and stop-flag checks before each height-grid read and while drawing. The PR ties these checks to the cost of the finer mesh, which relates them to #1882. The crates/ui-egui/src/tilt_drape.rs change only updates a doc comment. No unrelated change was demonstrated.
Limit: the lib.rs hunks could not be read, so this conclusion for that file rests on the summary and PR description.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's Summary, Testing, UI evidence, and Related issue sections. Summary explains the problem (fixed 160-cell grid), the change (per-band cell count from picture size, capped by DEM cells), and the cancellation behavior. Testing lists specific tests and cargo commands with results. The UI evidence section is filled with a before/after comparison image and measured output, which fits a visible rendering change, though the template says 'No visible UI change' applies only when nothing is visible, and this PR changes rendered terrain. Related issue is given as Closes #1882. Minor gap: the 'UI evidence' section does not state the before/after requirement is met in the template format, but the image is present with labels for both sides.

I found no bugs, crash paths, or silent data loss. The mesh-size logic, the Ground::cells_across bounds, and the cancel test all read correctly. The two findings below are performance and cancellation issues, and both are in the inline comments.
Bugs
None found. Checked: settled_cells handles 0, NaN, and infinity; every index in drape_terrain uses the per-band n; cell * 2 + half fits u32 at 640 cells.
Security
None found.
Performance
Settled frame keeps working after it is superseded (lib.rs:2629, medium confidence). drape_terrain only looks at progress::check(), which is never installed on the desktop settled-frame worker. Its stop flag (cancel::requested(), set in ui-egui/src/tilt_settle.rs) is checked only before the drape starts. Suggestion posted inline.
Serial export cost, and unmeasured on-screen memory (lib.rs:2633, medium confidence). At 288 dpi, wall time goes from about 5 s to about 12 s. The grid build, triangle collection, and sort are all serial, though the grid is independent per vertex and band (AGENTS.md asks for parallel splits where practical). The on-screen settled frame gets the same 640-cell rule but was only measured for exports. My estimate is about 100 MB transient at a 1600 px window, against about 16 MB before. Both posted inline.
Quality
Stale docs (low confidence, outside the changed lines):
crates/render/src/terrain.rs:20-22 says SETTLED_CELLS is the cell count for the settled frame and exports. It is now only the floor.
crates/ui-egui/src/tilt_drape.rs:33-35 says "the settled frame's is finer, SETTLED_CELLS". That no longer describes the mesh used.
crates/render/src/lib.rs:2668-2669 says "The settled frame on screen has no run to cancel". That contradicts the stop flag in render::cancel.
Nit (lib.rs:2620-2621): "each band's cells a side and grid of vertices" is hard to parse. Suggest "each band's grid of vertices, cells a side".
AGENTS.md
The per-band cancel granularity is documented in the drape_terrain doc comment, so it complies. Parallelism is not used for the grid build, which the performance comment covers.
Test-side unwrap() is in test code, which is allowed.
Earlier review threads on this PR: none, so no concerns were skipped.

…n; docs for the growing mesh (opengeos#1882)
Review round 1: drape_terrain looks at render::cancel as well as the
export's progress, before each band's grid and while drawing, so a
superseded settled frame stops at once now that its grids are up to
641 x 641. SETTLED_CELLS is documented as the floor, the tilt_drape note
points at settled_cells, and the grid comment reads plainer.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
None found. I read the mesh sizing (settled_cells), Ground::cells_across for DEM and elevation-tile sources, and the per-band grid storage in drape_terrain. The grid index math, the u32 encoding of at, and the zero/NaN/infinite handling all hold up. The new tests' expected values check out by hand (the 4×3 grid, the 1024-pixel world at zoom 2, and the quarter-world case).
Security
None found.
Performance
On-screen settled frame on HiDPI displays hits the 288 dpi cost, not the measured 400-cell case (medium confidence). The PR's window measurement is at pixels_per_point 1. The settled frame is drawn at the display's scale, so at 200% a 1600 px window gets 640 cells a band, roughly the 288 dpi export's cost. The 150% case gets 600. It runs on the settle worker and stays cancellable, so it doesn't hold the UI. Posted inline at crates/render/src/terrain.rs:39.
The serial grid build, the serial triangle sort, and the on-screen memory growth were already raised in the prior threads. The author answered them with measurements and a stated plan, so I left them alone.
Quality
Nothing worth raising beyond the points below. The doc comments match the code, and the cancel-gap fix from 036861e is in place in both the grid loop and the triangle loop.
Low confidence, not posted: cells_across drops corners that fail from_merc and computes the box from the rest. A band with only some corners projectable gets an underestimated cap. The effect is less detail, not a crash or silent loss.
AGENTS.md
Test-only unwrap() and expect() are permitted by clippy.toml.
Cancel is looked at before each band's grid and during the triangle drawing, as the "never hold the window" rule asks. The doc comment says the sort doesn't look at Cancel, which meets the rule's requirement to say so.
No new silent data loss, and no ui-egui layering change. The tilt_drape.rs change is a doc-only edit.
Prior threads: 2 concerns already raised. I left both alone. The serial-cost and on-screen-memory thread was answered with measurements. The settled-frame cancel gap is fixed in 036861e and covered by the new test.
Confidence in the one posted finding is medium. I haven't run the code. The HiDPI cost is extrapolated from the PR's own 288 dpi numbers, and I confirmed the scale path by reading band_view and the View construction in ui-egui.
Change size
Compared with main (merge base 9f6bb70 to PR head 036861e), the whole PR.
crates/render/src/terrain.rs:149: cells_across does not apply the full-turn DEM wrap that raster_height applies, so a stretch across the antimeridian gets an underestimated DEM cell count and falls back to the 160 floor. Detail loss only, no crash or wrong height. Inline comment posted. (Confidence: medium.)
The settled-frame cancel fix in 036861e is correct. cancel::requested() is thread-local, so an export on another thread cannot be stopped by a settled frame's flag. Both the band-start and triangle-loop checks are present. (Confidence: high.)
Security
None found.
Performance
Serial grid build and serial triangle drawing, and the on-screen HiDPI cost at 640 cells. Both were raised in earlier threads and answered, so I left them alone. The answer that Ground is not Sync is accurate: Heights::Tiles holds RefCells. (Already raised.)
Memory: grids and the triangle list are held for all bands with no total bound. The PR's measurements cover this, and the earlier thread already raised the on-screen case. (Already raised.)
Quality (left for the release quality pass)
crates/render/src/terrain.rs (MAX_SETTLED_CELLS doc): "about three times the memory" does not match the PR's numbers. 1280 cells measured 472–596 MB against about 300 MB at 640, roughly 2×. The ratio is about 2.3–2.9× only against the 160 baseline. (Confidence: medium.)
crates/render/src/lib.rs (a_cancelled_export_stops_laying_the_map_over_its_terrain): the new band-start check now trips the probe on the second band, so the triangle-loop drawn % 4096 cancel path is no longer exercised by any test. The settled-frame test also only reaches the band-start check. (Confidence: medium.)
AGENTS.md
No unwrap in non-test code, no unsafe, and the new long step is documented as checking Cancel per band. Test code uses .unwrap(), which matches the existing tests in terrain.rs.
Cancel is checked between bands and in the triangle loop, and the doc comments say so. Screenshots are linked. No interface text, layering, or dependency changes.
Already raised, left alone: 4 earlier concerns (parallel grid build, on-screen memory and HiDPI cost, and the settled-frame cancel gap, which is now fixed).

Measure source spacing over the domain that the mesh subdivides.
When a band spans 4000 raster cells but overlaps only 400 DEM cells, this clipped span caps the mesh at 400. drape_terrain spreads those cells over the whole band. Only about 40 mesh cells then cover the DEM, although the picture permits 640 cells across the band.
Use the full band's source-grid span to calculate its subdivision limit. Keep DEM intersection separate from source-cell spacing. This prevents partial DEM coverage from unnecessarily reducing terrain detail.

…cells (opengeos#1882)
cells_across now takes the corners round by the same whole turns as
raster_height (a 0-360 grid, a view a turn away) and, on a whole-turn
DEM, measures the span without clipping at the grid's edge, so a
stretch across ±180° no longer falls back to the 160 floor.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Far-band corners can drop out of the DEM cell count (crates/render/src/terrain.rs:151, medium-low confidence). cells_across builds its box only from corners that from_merc converts. On a projected DEM, such as the UTM 23S one in the PR's measurements, far-horizon corners can fail that check. The count then falls to the 160 floor on the far massif, which is the detail this PR is meant to add. This is the open half of the earlier full-turn thread: c473989 fixed the seam wrap but not dropped corners.
All-corners-fail returns None, which skips the cap (same location, low confidence). settled_cells treats None as "unknown" and applies no DEM cap, so such a band gets up to 640 cells. A band with only some corners dropped gets capped. Returning Some(0.0) when corners exist but none convert would make these consistent.
Security
None found in the changed code.
Performance
No new findings. The serial grid build and the memory growth were already raised in the earlier threads and answered by the author, so I left them alone.
Quality
Test gap. The new tests use Web Mercator and lon/lat DEMs, where from_merc always succeeds. Neither exercises the dropped-corner path, and the PR's own measurements use a projected DEM. Covered in the inline comment above.
AGENTS.md
Checked the non-test code for unwrap, expect and panic: none added. settled_cells clamps to 160–640 and n ≥ 160 keeps cell % n safe.
The Cancel checks are in place. cancel::requested() is thread-local, and the stop flag is only installed on the settled-frame worker. The caller turns false into None.
The doc comments say where Cancel is checked and that the triangle sort is not.
Prior threads
Left alone (already answered or fixed, and I verified the fix): the serial cost and memory growth, the HiDPI settled-frame cost, and the Cancel gap on the settled frame (fixed in 036861e).
Re-raised: the dropped-corner half of the full-turn wrap thread. The seam wrap in c473989 matches raster_height, so I left that part alone.

…too (opengeos#1882)
cells_across took the whole-turn shift from the stretch's middle, which
does nothing when the middle is off a regional DEM: a stretch across the
seam from a DEM beside it (centre at 178°, DEM from -180°) counted no
cells while raster_height reads 6° of it. Now it tries the turns around
the one that centres the stretch on the DEM and keeps the most.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bugs: No new bugs found. I checked the wrap and whole-turn handling in cells_across against raster_height and wrap_col. The per-band grid and triangle indexing stay aligned, since grids.push runs for every band. The cancel and progress::check paths and the new tests are consistent with the code.
Security: Nothing found. The change only touches render-mesh sizing and cancellation. There is no new input parsing or external call.
Performance:
Cancel latency inside a band's grid (medium confidence). The new check runs only before each band's grid is built. That grid is up to 641 × 641 height reads, and the triangle collection after it has no look either. A superseded settled frame can therefore run a full band before it stops, which doesn't match "stops at once" in the PR body. Inline comment posted at crates/render/src/lib.rs:2635.
Square mesh on thin bands (medium-low confidence). n comes from the band's longer side and the mesh is n × n, so a wide, short band gets n rows it doesn't need. I haven't measured real band aspect ratios. Inline comment posted at crates/render/src/lib.rs:2634.
Quality:
The old doc comment said the grid read and triangle ordering don't look at Cancel. The new one drops that sentence, so the unchecked step is no longer named. This is covered by the Cancel latency comment above.
Nit, left for the release quality pass: the a_cancelled_export_stops_laying_the_map_over_its_terrain assertion is >= 2, which does not pin the "before its second band's grid" its comment describes.
AGENTS.md: Test code uses unwrap and expect, which clippy.toml allows. The non-test code has none. Layering and wasm are not affected. The tilt_drape.rs change is doc-only.
Prior threads: 6 threads already existed. I left 3 alone because they were answered without new evidence: serial grid cost and memory, HiDPI settled-frame cost, and dropped corners in the box (including the all-corners-fail None case). 3 were fixed in the PR (cancel gap, full-turn seam wrap, midpoint shift), and I did not re-raise them.
Confidence: The cancel-latency finding is medium. The square-mesh finding is medium-low and needs a measurement on real views.

Closes #1882.
Problem
Since #1523 the settled tilted frame and exports lay each band over the relief as a fixed grid of
terrain::SETTLED_CELLS= 160 cells a side, whatever the export's size. At 288 dpi (4800 px wide) a cell is about 30 px, and ridges and the skyline are cut into straight segments again.What changes
terrain::settled_cells(picture_px, dem_cells): one cell every 4 px of the longer side of the band's picture, at least 160 (today's) and at most 640 (MAX_SETTLED_CELLS), and never more than the ground's own cells across the band.Ground::cells_across(corners): how many of the ground's cells span a band's ground. For a DEM layer, the band's corners in the DEM's pixel grid, their box clipped to the DEM; for elevation tiles, their pixels at the zoom read.drape_terrainkeeps each band's cell count next to its grid of vertices (band_cells), so bands of different picture sizes get different meshes.drape_terrainnow checks Cancel before each band's grid of heights is read. At 640 cells that is up to 641 × 641 height reads per band, where the doc comment said the reads took tens of milliseconds. It also checks the settled frame's stop flag (render::cancel), both there and every 4096 triangles while drawing, so a frame that goes out of date stops at the next band or within the drawing. A band's grid and its triangle list, once started, still run to their end.terrain::CELLS), as [Feature]: Terrain follows the relief in a settled tilted view and in exports (a finer mesh than while it moves) #1523 decided.Choices

tilt_settleworker and not on the UI thread. At 150 % or 200 % display scaling the bands' pictures are 2400–3200 px, so they get 600–640 cells. Each settle then costs close to the 288 dpi export, a little less. It stays on the worker and stops when the frame goes out of date.SETTLED_CELLSstays as the floor. Its name and meaning (160) are unchanged.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
