WhiteboxTools is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform offering a stand-alone command-line program and Python scripting API for GIS analysis, remote sensing, terrain and hydrological analysis, and LiDAR processing. This repository is marked legacy, with development moved to Whitebox Workflows Next Gen.
Use cases
- perform gis analysis like cost-distance and raster reclassification from the command line
- process lidar point clouds and classify ground points
- delineate watersheds and analyze stream networks
- compute terrain indices like slope, wetness index, and hillshading
- mosaic and filter satellite imagery
- script geospatial workflows in python
When to choose
- you need a scriptable geoprocessing backend for gis workflows
- you work with lidar point clouds or terrain/hydrological analysis
- you want a cross-platform command-line gis tool without installation
When to avoid
- you need cartographic map-making or data visualization
- you want actively developed features - use Whitebox Workflows Next Gen instead
- you need a full interactive gis desktop application
