💖 d.profile — bestie plots a transect profile 💖

okay so this is d.profile, from the GRASS GIS User's Manual, and she is literally the girl who draws you a cross-section of your raster along a transect. main character energy, no cap. 👑

✨ KEYWORDS ✨

display, profile, raster, plot

it's giving "I make graphs and I make them cute." 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

d.profile
d.profile --help
d.profile [-r] map=name coordinates=east,north[,east,north,...]
          [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

like. that's the whole vibe. two required things, a couple of optional flags, and she's ready to slay. 💅

🦋 Flags 🦋

  • -r — use the map's recorded range. yes bestie, use that range, the one the map wrote down. ✨
  • --help — prints the usage summary. your little "wait what do I do" safety net. 🫶
  • --verbose — verbose module output. she will tell you everything. 🗣️
  • --quiet — quiet module output. she will tell you nothing. shhh. 🤫
  • --ui — forces the GUI dialog to launch. not me popping up a window when you least expect it. 🙈

🌈 Parameters 🌈

  • map=name — [required] the raster map you wanna profile. the girl you're studying. 👑
  • coordinates=east,north[,east,north,...] — [required] the profile coordinate pairs. and yes, you can keep going, comma after comma, pair after pair, she'll take them all. 💖

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

d.profile displays the profile for a specified transect.

that's it. that's the whole thing. you give her a raster and a line of coordinates, she draws you the profile. iconic. ate. periodt. 💅✨

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

  • d.where
  • r.profile
  • r.transect
  • wxGUI profile tool

go read those too, bestie, they're all in the same friend group. 🫶

okay important lore drop: this program has been completely re-written for 7.0. it bears no relation to the interactive d.profile module in previous versions. like, she's a whole different person now. glow-up fr fr. 💅
