Multidirectional hillshade

Source: R/terrain_analysis.R
wbt_multidirectional_hillshade.Rd

Calculates a multi-direction hillshade raster from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_multidirectional_hillshade(
  dem,
  output,
  altitude = 45,
  zfactor = NULL,
  full_mode = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dem

Input raster DEM file.

output

Output raster file.

altitude

Illumination source altitude in degrees.

zfactor

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

full_mode

Optional flag indicating whether to use full 360-degrees of illumination sources.

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.
