XS Dimension tool `loess_span` parameter default #5

Closed mpdougherty closed 3 years ago

The XS Dimension tool calls the fluvgeo::slope_sinuosity function. It uses smoothing to help reduce some of the noise in LiDAR measured elevations. However, if too much smoothing is used, the slope values go haywire. Therefore, the loess_span parameter default should be set to a safe value like 0.05.

Added elevation smoothing defaults to all level 1 and 2 tools. b1819126fd4028adee9d9496b72f6a85c1b06ca0
