Remarks

⚠ A half float over a large zone is a quantised surface, and the panel says so rather than leaving somebody to discover a stepped horizon. Sixteen bits give about three decimal digits, so a surface height of 2000 m resolves to a metre — visible as terracing along a shoreline, and invisible in a screenshot taken from the middle of a lake. HeightQuantum is the number to look at, and it is in metres.
