This tool can be used to create a slope versus average elevation plot for one or more digital elevation models (DEMs). Similar to a hypsometric analysis (hypsometric_analysis), the slope-elevation relation can reveal the basic topographic character of a site. The output of this analysis is an HTML document (output) that contains the slope-elevation chart. The tool can plot multiple slope-elevation analyses on the same chart by specifying multiple input DEM files (inputs). Each input DEM can have an optional watershed in which the slope-elevation analysis is confined by specifying the optional watershed flag. If multiple input DEMs are used, and a watershed is used to confine the analysis to a sub-area, there must be the same number of input raster watershed files as input DEM files. The order of the DEM and watershed files must the be same (i.e. the first DEM file must correspond to the first watershed file, the second DEM file to the second watershed file, etc.). Each watershed file may contain one or more watersheds, designated by unique identifiers.
