)

Arguments

cs_length

numeric vector, lengths of each cross section (meters)

points_per_cs

numeric, number of points per cross section. Default is NULL

min_pts_per_cs

An optional minimum points value per cross section. If not provided,

dem

A SpatRaster object representing the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) or a character string referencing a remote resource. the function calculates it based on the length of cross-sections and the resolution of the DEM.
