This tool can be used to plot the data profile, along a set of one or more vector lines (lines
), in an input (surface
) digital elevation model (DEM), or other surface model. The data profile plots surface height (y-axis) against distance along profile (x-axis). The tool outputs an interactive SVG line graph embedded in an HTML document (output
). If the vector lines file contains multiple line features, the output plot will contain each of the input profiles.
If you want to extract the longitudinal profile of a river, use the long_profile tool instead.
