✨ Topic: cost surface ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the GRASS User's Manual glow-up edition 💅 this page is literally just a topic hub, like a little group chat for every command that does cost surface stuff. two icons in here, both absolute main characters, both speaking fluent raster.

🗺️ the lineup (the whole menu, no skips)

  • r.cost — Creates a raster map showing the cumulative cost of moving between different geographic locations on an input raster map whose cell category values represent cost. fr fr, it's the "how expensive is it to get from here to there" map. 🚶♀️💸
  • r.walk — Creates a raster map showing the anisotropic cumulative cost of moving between different geographic locations on an input raster map whose cell category values represent cost. same energy as r.cost, but ✨anisotropic✨ — direction actually matters, iykyk. 🧭
not me hyping up a topic index like it's a concert 😭 but genuinely, these two are the moment.
