+

+
+    {aliases}
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    grid : str or xarray.DataArray
+        The file name of the input grid or the grid loaded as a DataArray.
+    outgrid : str or None
+        The name of the output netCDF file with extension .nc to store the grid
+        in.
+    azimuth : str or list or xarray.DataArray
+        *azim*\ [/*azim2*].
+        Azimuthal direction for a directional derivative; *azim* is the
+        angle in the x,y plane measured in degrees positive clockwise from
+        north (the +y direction) toward east (the +x direction). The
+        negative of the directional derivative, -[dz/dx\*sin(*azim*) +
+        dz/dy\*cos(\ *azim*)], is found; negation yields positive values
+        when the slope of z(x,y) is downhill in the *azim* direction, the
+        correct sense for shading the illumination of an image by a light
+        source above the x,y plane shining from the *azim* direction.
+        Optionally, supply two azimuths, *azim*/*azim2*, in which case the
+        gradients in each of these directions are calculated and the one
+        larger in magnitude is retained; this is useful for illuminating data
+        with two directions of lineated structures, e.g., *0*/*270*
+        illuminates from the north (top) and west (left).  Finally, if *azim*
+        is a file it must be a grid of the same domain, spacing and
+        registration as *ingrid* that will update the azimuth at each output
+        node when computing the directional derivatives.
+    direction : str
+        [**a**][**c**][**o**][**n**].
+        Find the direction of the positive (up-slope) gradient of the data.
+        To instead find the aspect (the down-slope direction), use **a**.
+        By default, directions are measured clockwise from north, as *azim*
+        in ``azimuth``. Append **c** to use conventional Cartesian angles
+        measured counterclockwise from the positive x (east) direction.
+        Append **o** to report orientations (0-180) rather than
+        directions (0-360). Append **n** to add 90 degrees to all angles
+        (e.g., to give local strikes of the surface).
+    radiance : str
+        [**m**\|\ **s**\|\ **p**]\ *azim/elev*\ [**+a**\ *ambient*][**+d**\
+        *diffuse*][**+p**\ *specular*][**+s**\ *shine*].
+        Compute Lambertian radiance appropriate to use with ``grdimage``
+        and ``grdview``. The Lambertian Reflection assumes an ideal surface
+        that reflects all the light that strikes it and the surface appears
+        equally bright from all viewing directions. Here, *azim* and *elev* are
+        the azimuth and elevation of the light vector. Optionally, supply
+        *ambient* [0.55], *diffuse* [0.6], *specular* [0.4], or *shine* [10],
+        which are parameters that control the reflectance properties of the
+        surface. Default values are given in the brackets. Use **s** for a
+        simpler Lambertian algorithm. Note that with this form you only have
+        to provide azimuth and elevation. Alternatively, use **p** for
+        the Peucker piecewise linear approximation (simpler but faster
+        algorithm; in this case the *azim* and *elev* are hardwired to 315
+        and 45 degrees. This means that even if you provide other values
+        they will be ignored.)
