stream_link_slope

d8_pntr

Input raster streams link ID (or tributary ID) file.

linkid

output

D8 pointer uses the ESRI style scheme.

esri_pntr

Flag indicating whether a background value of zero should be used.

zero_background

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is False, tools will not print output messages.

verbose_mode

Estimates the average slope of each link (or tributary) in a stream network.

An R frontend of the 'WhiteboxTools' library, which is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by Prof. John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and Hydrogeomatics Research Group. 'WhiteboxTools' can be used to perform common geographical information systems (GIS) analysis operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification. Remote sensing and image processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous filtering operations, simple classification (k-means), and common image transformations. 'WhiteboxTools' also contains advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis (e.g. flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network analysis, sink removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain indices such as slope, curvatures, wetness index, hillshading; hypsometric analysis; multi-scale topographic position analysis), and LiDAR data processing.
