Welcome to TopoToolbox’s Python Documentation!#
TopoToolbox is a Python library that provides a set of functions and classes that support the analysis of relief and flow pathways in digital elevation models (DEMs). The major aim of TopoToolbox is to offer helpful analytical GIS utilities in a non-GIS environment to support the simultaneous application of GIS-specific and other quantitative methods.
This Python library is based on the TopoToolbox for Matlab and uses the API provided by libtopotoolbox to compute efficiently.
