Minimum downslope elevation change

This tool calculates the minimum elevation drop between each grid cell and its neighbouring cells. The user must specify the name of the input digital elevation model (DEM) and the output raster name. NoData valued grid cells in the input pointer image will be assigned NoData values in the output image. The output raster is of the float data type and continuous data scale.

Scripting:

The following is an example of a Python script that uses this tool:

wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
demFile = wd + "DEM.dep"
outputFile = wd + "output.dep"
args = [demFile, outputFile]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MinDownslopeElevationChange", args, False)

This is a Groovy script also using this tool:

def wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
def demFile = wd + "DEM.dep"
def outputFile = wd + "output.dep"
String[] args = [demFile, outputFile]
pluginHost.runPlugin("MinDownslopeElevationChange", args, false)
