| 38 | | |
| 39 | | The {{{contourmerge}}} plugin helps you to align the contours of areas in JOSM. |
| 40 | | |
| 41 | | [[Image(lake-and-forest.1.png,align=left, valign=top, margin-right=10)]] |
| 42 | | Here's a typical example: a '''lake''' with a detailled shoreline and a '''forest'''. |
| 43 | | |
| 44 | | The contour of the forest should be aligned with the lakes shoreline. |
| 45 | | |
| 46 | | Select the {{{contourmege}}} map mode in the toolbar for map modes and perform the steps below. |

| 51 | | |
| 52 | | === Step 1 - Select the "cut-nodes" === |
| 53 | | |
| 54 | | [[Image(lake-and-forest.2.png, 160px, align=left, valign=top, margin-right=20)]] |
| 55 | | |
| 56 | | * Select the part of the contour you want to merge, in both the areas for the lake and the forest. '''Left-Click''' on the respective nodes to mark them as selected. |
| 57 | | |

| 61 | | }}} |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | | |
| 64 | | === Step 2 - Drag the source contour === |
| 65 | | |
| 66 | | [[Image(lake-and-forest.3.png, 160px, align=left, valign=top, margin-right=20)]] |
| 67 | | * Drag the source contour between two "cut-nodes" |
| 68 | | |

| 72 | | }}} |
| 73 | | [[Image(lake-and-forest.4.png,160px, align=left, valign=top, margin-right=20)]] |
| 74 | | * When you drag it over a possible target contour, the source contour is aligned with the target contour. |

| 80 | | |
| 81 | | === Step 3 - Align the contours === |
| 82 | | [[Image(lake-and-forest.5.png, 160px, align=left, valign=top, margin-right=20)]] |
| 83 | | * Drop the source contour. The contours of the lake and the forest are merged. |
| 84 | | |
| 85 | | If the merge doesn't happen as expected, reversing one of the ways helps. |
