How it maps to the operation
| Operation parameter | Parameter here | Note |
|---|---|---|
raster | input | Not stated |
output | output | Not stated |
units | unit | degrees = degree; percent = percent |
band | band | Not stated |
z_unit | Not stated | always crs-units. Elevation is taken in the CRS's horizontal units; otherwise set xscale and yscale (see GDAL's page). |
Differences from the operation
- Cells on the raster's edge are computed from incomplete neighbourhoods; on a uniform slope they come out lower, and differently from PostGIS's. --no-edges leaves them as nodata.
