Breaches the depressions in a DEM using a least-cost pathway method.

Usage

wbt_breach_depressions_least_cost(
  dem,
  output,
  dist,
  max_cost = NULL,
  min_dist = TRUE,
  flat_increment = NULL,
  fill = TRUE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dem

Input raster DEM file.

output

Output raster file.

dist

Maximum search distance for breach paths in cells.

max_cost

Optional maximum breach cost (default is Inf).

min_dist

Optional flag indicating whether to minimize breach distances.

flat_increment

Optional elevation increment applied to flat areas.

fill

Optional flag indicating whether to fill any remaining unbreached depressions.

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.
