Analysis Tools and Plots - Examples
Plot of along-channel slope vs. total contributing area for
all Horton-Strahler streams, colored by order.
Standard Horton plot, for stream numbers vs. Horton-Strahler
order. Generalized Horton plots are also supported.
Plot of total contributing area vs. flow distance to the
watershed outlet, line plot.
Plot of total channel length vs. total contributing area
for all Horton-Strahler streams, colored by order.
Empirical cumulative distr. functions (ECDFs) for basin
area (by Strahler order) showing statistical self-similarity.
Longitudinal profile plot (elevation vs. distance to outlet)
as measured from DEM, and best-fit to Peckham model.
A plot showing shape analysis for an order 3 subbasin with
its convex hull, polygon area, convex hull area, and diameter.
Plot of log[P(Area > x)] vs. log[x] for the total
contributing area to channel links.
Plot of day length vs. Julian day of the year for
several different latitudes.
A CDF-style hypsometric plot (area vs. elevation) for
the Beaver Creek DEM.

River DEM (China).
Plot of main channel length vs. total contributing
area for Strahler streams, with best-fit power of 0.64 (Hack's Law).
