• 0° = oriented towards the north
• 90° = oriented towards the east

number · double · max: 90Tilt angle of the surface.
• 0° = horizontal
• 90° = verticalhorizon
string · pattern:^(auto|flat|[0-9]+(,…
Horizon of the requested location.
• flat: Flat horizon (all horizon elevations are 0°).
• auto: Horizon is determined automatically using a high-resolution digital elevation model with a spatial resolution of approx. 30m.
• [comma-separated values]
[comma-separated values]: provide 360 integer values representing elevation angles (in degrees) of the horizon in 360 directions. Elevation angles must be ≥0° and <90°. Index corresponds to azimuth:
Index 0 = 0° (North)
Index 90 = 90° (East)
Index 180 = 180° (South)
Index 270 = 270° (West)
Each value indicates the elevation angle at the corresponding azimuth.Example: 0,0,0,2,4,4,6,10,...,9,7,8,6,5,3,0Default: flat
