Climb is a QGIS Processing Plugin that calculates the total climb (and descent) along the lines of a line layer based on Z values taken from the lines or extracted from a supplied DEM. The algorithm is placed under Climb-> Vector analysis in the Processing Toolbox.
- INPUT
- The input vector layer (has to be a line layer).
- DEMFORZ
- A raster layer to be used as a DEM to extract Z values for the lines in the input vector layer (optional).
- BANDDEM
- The band to use in the DEM (DEMFORZ) layer.
- OUTPUT
- The output vector layer. It will be a copy of the input vector layer, but with two new attributes (climb and descent) containing the climb and descent for each line. Input attributes with the same names will be removed.
- TOTALCLIMB
- Output parameter that contains the total climb for all the lines of the input laye.r
- TOTALDESCENT
- Output parameter that contains the total descent for all the lines of the input layer.
- MINELEVATION
- Output parameter that contains the minimum elevation for all the lines of the input layer.
- MAXELEVATION
- Output parameter that contains the maximum elevation for all the lines of the input layer.
