about=QGIS plugin to generate topographic longitudinal profiles from vector alignments
    and Digital Terrain Models (GeoTIFF, ASC, IMG, BIL, FLT, DEM, HGT — any GDAL-supported format).

    Supported alignment formats: DXF, SHP, KML, KMZ, GeoPackage, GML, GPX, GeoJSON.
    Automatic CRS reprojection (e.g. WGS84 axis over UTM DTM).

    Main features:
    - DTM and alignment can be loaded from file/folder OR selected directly from layers already loaded in the QGIS project.
    - Smart DTM cache: scans folder once, reuses the index for subsequent runs.
    - Automatic detection of DTM tiles intersecting the alignment.
    - Bilinear interpolation of terrain elevations along the axis.
    - Configurable segmentation interval (e.g. 1 m for smooth profiles).
    - Longitudinal profile in standard topographic style: terrain line, comparison plane,
      partial/total distances in PK format (0+860) and elevations at original vertices.
    - Independent horizontal and vertical scales.
    - Automatic or fixed comparison plane.
    - DXF export with polylines, annotations and data table (guitar).
    - CSV export with partial/total distances and elevations.
    - Cross-section profiles: configurable spacing, width and scale. DXF grid layout
      with terrain, axis, PK, comparison plane and elevation table.
    - 3D axis export: original vertices with PK labels (horizontal text, no Z annotation)
      plus optional clean 3D polyline draped on DTM at segmentation interval.
    - DTM buffer export: GeoTIFF clipped to alignment bounding box + buffer, LZW-compressed.
    - Contour lines: DXF with normal and master contours, Chaikin smoothing,
      and minimum-length filter to suppress tiny closed contours.
