description: Number of columns to read for list of elements in the Landscape Unit
---

# elem\_tot

If each element in the Landscape Unit is listed individually, the number of columns to read will equal the number of elements in the Landscape. However, if there are several elements with consecutive numbers in a Landscape, they can be listed by specifying the first one in one column and the last one with a hyphen in front of it in the next column.
