Layer contract¶
Honours a mask on its input, applying everywhere the mask is absent.
Behaviour¶
Band count sets the number of terraces, and sharpness rounds the steps or squares them off. Auto range spreads the bands across the terrain's actual height, so the count is what you see; Fixed places them at absolute elevations.
