Calculates for each hillslope pixel its distance from the river networks, following the steepest
descent (i.e. the drainage directions). It can evaluate the distance a projection of the plan or the real distance (3d mode).
Inputs
- The !GridCoverage containing the drainage directions, obtained with [Markoutlets];
- The !GridCoverage containing the network, obtained with [ExtractNetwork];
- The !GridCoverage containing the elevation, obteined with [Pitfiller];
Output
- The !GridCoverage containing the distance of every point from the river network;
Notes
The program can work in three different ways:
- calculate the distance (projected on the plane) from the outlet in pixel number (pMode = 0)
- calculate the distance (projected on the plane) from the outlet in meters on the plane (pMode = 1 and inPit null)
- calculate the distance (in 3d) from the outlet in meters in 3d (pMode = 1 and the inPit map not null)
