Auto Contour Generator QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
Automatically generates styled major/minor contour lines from a DEM raster or an elevation point layer, with optional hillshade, slope, aspect and colour relief outputs.
About
Auto Contour Generator lets surveyors and GIS professionals turn a raster DEM or an elevation point layer into publication-ready contour maps in a single click. It classifies contours into Major and Minor lines, applies rule-based symbology and labelling automatically, and can optionally generate hillshade, slope, aspect and colour relief rasters. Long-running work is executed on a background QgsTask so QGIS stays responsive on large DEMs (2 GB+) and point layers (1M+ points).
