Usage

wbt_lidar_hillshade(
  input,
  output,
  azimuth = 315,
  altitude = 30,
  radius = 1,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Input LiDAR file.
output: Output file.
azimuth: Illumination source azimuth in degrees.
altitude: Illumination source altitude in degrees.
radius: Search Radius.
wd: Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.
