'''Goal''' [[BR]]
Orxonox should be able to load models stored in heightmaps. [[BR]]

A .oxw-file could look as follows :
{{{
 .
 .
 .
 <Terrain>
      <name>HardCore</name>
      <model>worlds/environ.jpg</model>
      <abs-coor>0,0,100</abs-coor>
 </Terrain>
  .
  .
  .
}}}

{{{
Terrain::Terrain (const TiXmlElement* root)
{
//Change PATH
 HeightMap * hm = new HeightMap("~/svn/data/pictures/heightmapHello.bmp");
}}}


'''Current State''' [[BR]]
Thu, Dec 8    -   !HeightMap seems to work correctly with 8-Bit bmps :-) [[BR]]
Wed, Dec 7    -   !HeightMap is now able to read 8-Bit Bitmaps from files and to create a Model based on them.Howewer, there are some awful bugs to fix! [[BR]]
Tue, Dec 6    -   class !HeightMap draws a cube for testing. (I use revision 110 of Data) [[BR]]
Tue, Dec 6    -   branch height_map added to svn-repository [[BR]]
