slope(xds: str | CloudPath | Path | tuple[ndarray | MaskedArray, dict] | DataArray | Dataset | DatasetReader | DatasetWriter, in_pct: bool = False, in_rad: bool = False, **kwargs) → DataArray | Dataset[source]#

Compute the slope of a DEM (in degrees).

Goal: replace gdaldem CLI

Parameters:

  • xds (AnyRasterType) – Path to the DEM, 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:
