wbt_normal_vectors: Normal vectors

Description

Calculates normal vectors for points within a LAS file and stores these data (XYZ vector components) in the RGB field.

Usage

wbt_normal_vectors(
  input,
  output,
  radius = 1,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.

Arguments

input

Input LiDAR file.

output

Output LiDAR file.

radius

Search Radius.

wd

Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.

verbose_mode

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.
