Xsection

.. figure:: docs/img/xsection-logo-blue.png :align: center

Xsection is a Python-written script for creating cross sectional river profiles, normally used in 1D hydraulic modelling. The program features:

• vertex sampling of 2D shapefiles to pick their elevation values from underyling Digital Elevation Models (DEM)

• automatic setting of river and cross section direction/orientation (no need for careful manual creation anymore!)

• automatic calculation of the profile chainages according to the desired incrementation (upstream or downstream)

• conversion of the results into ASCII version of the XNS11 geometry file from Mike11 by DHI software.

• different profile creation options:

  • auto-generated profiles (based on DEM and input parameters)
  • profiles from 2D Line Shapefile and DEM
  • profiles from a 3D geodetic suverying points in Shapefile

How To:

For installation and usage guidelines, see the Official documentation <http://xsection.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>__.

To Do:

• Conversion into a QGIS plugin (GUI)
• EPSG projection equality checking
