Is there a way that I can limit flow direction to D4 instead of having it use D8?

Preferably looking for a way to do it within ArcMap.

    The question you are asked is very short but it's good question if you explain in more detailed.For example what is D4,D8. Did you try to write a script about this?

  • Can be done but 4 remaining are going to be diagonal. Set some cells to nodata, e.g. white ones on a chess board.

  • @wetland, if you look up any flow direction tool, it goes over what D8 is: pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/…

  • For D4, I would just like to limit the direction options to straight north, south, east, and west.

  • That is what I was looking for! We decided to stick to D8 and just work around it. But it may be worth posting if other people come to this question.
