DEM and Spatial Hydrology Extension
The DEM & Spatial Hydrology Extension contains plugins that extend the functionality of the WhiteboxTools open-core for advanced digital elevation model (DEM) processing and hydrological analysis. This extension easily integrates into your current WhiteboxTools environment. To utilize the DEM & Spatial Hydrology Extension, purchase a software license, then download and install the extension. The extension has transparent pricing, with academic and multi-seat discounts. By purchasing a license you are not only enhancing the power of the open-source WhiteboxTools platform, you are also helping to support the continued development of the software.
Not quite ready to purchase a license? How about a free trial? We are happy to provide you with a three day free trial to any of our Whitebox extensions. Click here, if you are interested in a free trial for any of the Whitebox extensions.
