Peak map
This website allows you to visualize elevation of any area on the map with
filled area charts (also known as a ridgeline
):
How?
I'm using MapBox GL to draw the map. Once the area is selected, I'm using elevation data API from the MapBox.
The rendering of the lines is done on canvas overlay, using regular 2D canvas context.
Bonus
You can print the final map onto a mug if you like the result:
To do this, draw the heightmap, close the settings window, and click on the small fly-out menu.
