LSDTT-network-tool

Builds a vectorized drainage network from LSDTopoTools outputs, divided at tributary junctions. Uses: analysis, plotting, GIS, model input.

Goals for Network Tool

Inputs

Input chi analysis output from LSDTT

• LSDTT outputs will include the source_key, receiver_node, and node_ID.
• Working to see if we can get these updates to LSDTT, hoping to be able to link the network tool with chi, z, etc. data.

Tool

Initial tool to build the channel network.

• The first half of the code is currently doing this.
• Currently working to update channel network code to include new inputs from LSDTT-chi tool.

Once network is built, generate plots of the network and the channel long profile

• Capability to select a node_ID that the code will walk down to generate a channel long profile.
  • This will make it possible to make channel profiles for mutiple branches, etc.

Planning to use argparse to make the tool much easier to work with.

Future expansion goals

Pairing LSDTT_terraces with channel long profile outputs to generate plot with both.

qGIS plugin.
