Feature Requests: lidar_digital_surface_model #400

Open sehHeiden opened 2 months ago

sehHeiden commented 2 months ago

I currently try the lidar_digital_surface_model function with the Python API of WhiteBox-Tools.

wbt.set_verbose_mode(True): Add a Start Time, or Timing prediction. wbt.set_compress_rasters(True): Allow other compression algorithms than deflate (like zstd) lidar_digital_surface_model: After stopping, allow restart with the already created raster files, not created again! At least to allow it with a flag.

With regards.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking for here. Can you explain?

In the python package:

wbt.set_verbose_mode(bool), turns the verbose mode on/off. I think it would be nice, when the verbose mode could also contain a prediction on the needed compute time.

wbt.set_compress_rasters(bool) sets the raster export to deflate compression. It would be nice, when instead of the boolean, you would inport a string with the compression name of your choise?

lidar_digital_surface_model: When computing on the working dir. It would be nice, that the call could continue, after it has be aborted.
