ETG_RasterSlope

Raster Slope

Calculates the slope of each cell of the input raster in percent or degrees. Read more about Slope and its importance here

Source Elevation raster

Result Slope raster (Degrees option used)

The input format accepted are file based rasters - ERDAS IMAGINE or Tagged Image File Format (TIFF).
The .NET ToolBox for ArcGIS Desktop accepts also FileGDB Raster inputs.
For file based rasters initially the name of the output raster define the raster format:
- .img extension (for example raster1.img) - ERDAS IMAGINE image.
- .tif extension (for example raster1.tif - image.
- The initial output raster format can be changed by selecting the desired output in the dialog.

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	RasterSlope
<input raster>	A String representing the input raster dataset.
<output raster>	A String - the full name of the output raster.
<UnitsDegrees>	A Boolean indicating the slope units. If true the slope will be calculated in Degrees, else the output slope will be in Percent.

ETSPath used in the table below is the full path to ETSRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETSurface\ETSRun.exe")

UnitsDegrees

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETSPath, "RasterSlope", "input raster", "output raster", "UnitsDegrees"])
.NET using ETSRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETSPath StartInfo.Arguments = "RasterSlope" "input raster" "output raster" "UnitsDegrees"
.NET using ETSOutX.dll	RasterSlope(input raster, output raster, UnitsDegrees)
ArcPy	arcpy.RasterSlope("input raster", "output raster", "UnitsDegrees")

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
