Remarks
|
geoDataset |
an input Raster, RasterDataset, RasterBand, or RasterDescriptor representing a continuous surface |
|
profile |
a Boolean that if True will create an output profile Raster The profile Raster shows the rate of change of slope for each cell. This is the curvature of the surface in the direction of slope. |
|
plan |
The plan Raster shows the curvature of the surface perpendicular to the slope direction, referred to as the planform curvature. |
- The method returns a reference to a Raster object.
