ETG_RasterSlope

Calculates the slope of each cell of the input raster in percent or degrees. The result added to ArcMap is categorized in 8 groups.

Inputs:

Output:

Example:

Source Elevation raster

Result Slope raster (Degrees option used)

Notes:

Supported raster formats are File Geodatabase raster, Personal Geodatabase raster and file based raster formats (ESRI GRID, Erdas Imagine and TIFF).
For file based rasters initially the name of the output raster defines the raster format
- no extension specified - ESRI binary GRID
- .img extension (for example raster1.img) - ERDAS IMAGINE image.
- .tif extension (for example raster1.tif - Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image.
- The initial output raster format can be changed by selecting the desired output in the dialog.
The input raster must be in a projected coordinate system.

Command line syntax

ETS_GPRasterSlope <Input Raster> <Out Raster> <Slope Units>

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
<Input Raster>	A Raster dataset or Raster layer
<Out Raster>	A String - the full name of the output raster (A raster with the same full name should not exist). The output raster type depends on the extension of the output file(see Notes above)
<Slope Units>	A String indicating the slope units. Valid inputs "Degrees" and "Percent"
