 <h3><a name="Landscape">Landscape</a></h3>
 
 <p>
 
  For a graphical representation of the tile-layout have a look at
 
  <a href="landscape_grid.html">Landscape grid</a> page.
 
 </p>
 
 <p>Eight attributes (counting &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">type_height</span>&quot;) hold the informations about a tile.<BR>
 
  These attributes are referred to as
 
  "<span style="font-weight: bold;">type_height</span>",
 
  "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m1</span>", "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m2</span>",
 
  "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m3</span>", "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m4</span>",
 
  "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m5</span>", "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m6</span>"
 
  and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m7</span>".<BR>
 
  &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">type_height</span>",
 
  &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m1</span>&quot;, &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m2</span>&quot;,
 
  &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m3</span>&quot;, &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m4</span>&quot;,
 
  &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m5</span>&quot;, &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold;">m6</span>&quot;
 
  and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">m7</span>".<br>
 
  The most important value is the class of a tile, stored in the upper 4 bits
 
  of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">type_height</span> attribute. The lower 4 bits are used to encode the height and
 
  slope data.

 Special Attribute : <span style="font-weight: bold;">m6</span>. There are 4 bits of it that are used accross multiple tile classes<br>
