wbt_slope: Slope

Description

Calculates a slope raster from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_slope(
  dem,
  output,
  zfactor = NULL,
  units = "degrees",
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.

Arguments

dem

Input raster DEM file.

output

Output raster file.

zfactor

Optional multiplier for when the vertical and horizontal units are not the same.

units

Units of output raster; options include 'degrees', 'radians', 'percent'.

wd

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