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.
