Openness — wbt_openness • whitebox

This tool calculates the topographic openness index from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_openness(
  input,
  pos_output,
  neg_output,
  dist = 20,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Name of the input raster DEM file.
pos_output: Name of the positive openness output raster file.
neg_output: Name of the negative openness output raster file.
dist: Search distance, in grid cells.
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.
