Export heightmaps

Feature Request

I saw there in a request to IMPORT height maps and create a map based upon it.

I'd like to also request an EXPORT heightmap feature. So a world map could be generated here and then exported to a 3d terrain generator to actually build the corresponding world.

    How would you imagine this to work? Where should the height information be taken from?

      Philipp: You just had to go and fracture my badly thought out idea, now didn't you!

      While a 2D application might export markers designating land mass borders (height=x) with some very predetermined heights assigned… "mountains go here" (height = y)… lake goes here (height=-z)… cave entrance goes here… etc.. Perhaps with corresponding text or marker within the corresponding area on the map… I am not sure if that would be very helpful in something like World Creator or Gaia.
