R Documentation

Openness

Description

This tool calculates the topographic openness index from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_openness(
  input,
  pos_output,
  neg_output,
  dist = 20,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

`input`	Name of the input raster DEM file.
`pos_output`	Name of the positive openness output raster file.
`neg_output`	Name of the negative openness output raster file.
`dist`	Search distance, in grid cells.
`wd`	Changes the working directory. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_wd()` for details.
`verbose_mode`	Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is `FALSE`, tools will not print output messages. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_verbose()` for details.
`compress_rasters`	Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_compress_rasters()` for details.
`command_only`	Return command that would be executed by `system()` rather than running tool. Default: `FALSE`.
