slope#

slope(xds: Union[str, xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray, xarray.core.dataset.Dataset, rasterio.io.DatasetReader], in_pct: bool = False, in_rad: bool = False) Union[xarray.core.dataset.Dataset, xarray.core.dataarray.DataArray][source]#

Compute the slope of a DEM (in degrees).

Goal: replace gdaldem CLI

Parameters
  • xds (PATH_XARR_DS) – Path to the raster, its dataset, its xarray or a tuple containing its array and metadata

  • in_pct (bool) – Outputs slope in percents

  • in_rad (bool) – Outputs slope in radians. Not taken into account if in_pct == True

Returns

Slope

Return type
