DESCRIPTION
r.hypso produces the hypsometric and hypsographic curve related to a digital elevation model and prints the percentiles.NOTES
The hypsographic curve gives the distribution of surfaces in different altitude ranges. Each point on the function reports on the y-axis the elevation and on the x-axis the portion of the basin surface placed above such elevation value. The hypsometric curve uses adimensional axes.Flags:
-a: generates hypsometric curve
-b: generates hyposographic curve
EXAMPLE
r.hypso -b map=elevation image=/tmp/hypso
r.hypso -a map=elevation image=/tmp/hypso
Dependencies
- Matplotlib
