cgKorkeus

CGkorkeus is a term used in Finnish computer graphics discussions. It is a compound of CG (computer graphics) and korkeus (height), and translates roughly as “CG height.” In practice, it refers to the vertical dimension in a digital scene, such as the height of a point, surface, or region in three-dimensional space.

The term appears mainly in Finnish-language tutorials, sample code, and forum discussions. Its meaning can vary by context: it may refer to a vertex’s z-coordinate, the value stored in a heightmap, or a parameter used to influence shading, displacement, or terrain generation. Some writers hyphenate it as “CG-height” or use variants like “CGkorkeus” as a variable name (for example cgKorkeus) in code.

CGkorkeus is related to other concepts such as heightmaps, elevation data, the z-axis, and vertical coordinates. It is used in processes to generate terrain, apply displacement, or compute occlusion and shading based on elevation.

The term is not formally standardized and may differ across projects or authors. It remains an informal label within Finnish-speaking communities, and its precise meaning should be inferred from the surrounding material.
