// check the map type before messing with pixels
if(theAPI.map_GetTypeID(hMap)!=MAP_Heightfield)
  return false;

float val;

// step through all pixels
for(int j=0; j<ny; j++) {
  for(int i=0; i<nx; i++) {
    if(!theAPI.map_GetPixel(hMap, i, j, &val)) // get the pixel value
      return false;
 
    val+=10.0f; // increment the value by 10
