Arguments

in.grid
input: digital elevation model (DEM) as SAGA grid file (default file extension: .sgrd)
out.shapefile
output: contour line shapefile. Existing files will be overwritten!
zstep,zmin,zmax
lower limit, upper limit, and equidistance of contour lines
vertex
optional parameter: vertex type for resulting contours. Default "xy" (or 0). Only available with SAGA GIS 2.1.3+.
  • [0] "xy"
  • [1] "xyz"
env
A SAGA geoprocessing environment, see rsaga.env

arguments to be passed to rsaga.geoprocessor

Value

The type of object returned depends on the intern argument passed to the rsaga.geoprocessor. For intern=FALSE it is a numerical error code (0: success), or otherwise (the default) a character vector with the module's console output.
