Terrain modeling plays an important role in computer graphics. There are several methods to generate terrainmodels. Displacing two-dimensional grid points provide an easy way to generate realistic landscape. The basic idea hereis to generate a continuous surface which varies in height randomly but with the random variation obeying a particularstatistical law.The method here used to generate a Terrain is a simplified form of Midpoint Displacement method. The two dimensionalgrid of X-Y coordinates is displaced and then the height values are assigned to each point on two dimensional grid. Theheight values can be assigned in a way to control the shape of the terrain. Here an algorithm is intended to generate asingle hill on the two dimensional grid.
