Differences from the operation
- Left out, out_type gave specific contributing area (cell count times cell size) in the equivalence tests, although the tool declares cells as its default; this mapping sets cells. Counts include the cell itself.
- Takes a DEM by default, or a D8 pointer raster with pntr; out_type gives cells, catchment area or specific contributing area.
