Description

This version contains bugs, which are fixed in the v0.7.4

pytopocomplexity is an open-source Python package designed to measure the topographic complexity (i.e., surface roughness) of land surfaces using digital elevation model (DEM) data. This package includes modules for three methods commonly used in the fields of geomorphology and oceanography for measuring topographic complexity, which are not fully available in Geographic Information System (GIS) software like QGIS.

[!CAUTION] This package is under developement and has not officially released. Use it with caution.
