Calc Slope Map

Description

Calculates a slope map from an elevation map. For each cell, the slope is calculated toward every neighboring cell using the elevation difference and the distance between the cells, and the largest of those slopes is assigned to the cell.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Elevation	Map Type	Elevation map, in meters. May contain null values.

Optional Inputs

Name	Type	Description	Default Value
Diagonals Are Longer	Boolean Value Type	If true, the distance to diagonal neighbor cells is multiplied by 1.414213562. This is an advanced port.	Yes
Slope In Percent	Boolean Value Type	If true, slope is calculated in percent; otherwise, it is calculated in degrees.	No
Cell Type	Cell Type Type	Cell type of the slope map.	Signed 32 Bit Integer
Null Value	Null Value Type	Null value of the slope map. Must be compatible with Cell Type.	.default
Slope Is Sparse	Boolean Value Type	If true, the output map is saved as a sparse raster set. This is an advanced port.	No

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Slope	Map Type	Slope map, with the same dimensions as Elevation.
