wbt_multiscale_curvatures {whitebox}

Multiscale curvatures

Description

This tool calculates several multiscale curvatures and curvature-based indices from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_multiscale_curvatures(
  dem,
  out_mag,
  curv_type = "ProfileCurv",
  out_scale = NULL,
  min_scale = 0,
  step = 1,
  num_steps = 1,
  step_nonlinearity = 1,
  log = TRUE,
  standardize = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dem

Name of the input raster DEM file.

out_mag

Output raster magnitude file.

curv_type

Curvature type.

out_scale

Output raster scale file.

min_scale

Minimum search neighbourhood radius in grid cells.

step

Step size as any positive non-zero integer.

num_steps

Number of steps.

step_nonlinearity

Step nonlinearity factor (1.0-2.0 is typical).

log

Display output values using a log-scale.

standardize

Should each scale be standardized to z-scores?.

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.

compress_rasters

Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.

command_only

Return command that would be executed by system() rather than running tool. Default: FALSE.

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.
