I am trying to use r.cost and r.walk and r.drain to calculate the shortest path from an archaeological site to the nearest basalt source. I am using all this algorithms with the processing toolbox (I have no grass experience...). I am able to run both r.cost and r.walk but when I try to use r.drain I have a python error. I thought I can use the rasters created to obtain the path in another program (Yes, like ArcMap). In order to do so I need the "movement direction raster" that you are suppose to get either from r.walk or r. cost. Nevertheless, when I use r.cost or r.walk from the processing toolbox and I can only visualize the cumulative costs rasters and not the direction ones. I also looked for an option to define a name and a path for the movement direction raster showing advanced parameters, but I have no luck either. ¿Does somebody know how to produce this movement direction raster? (if possible from the processing toolbox). I am using Dufour 64bits on win7 16mb of ram (standalone install and osGeo4w install)

Thanks in advance

PS. This is the Python error: An error has occured while executing Python code:

  • Please consider to post the r.drain python error...

  • @MarkusN I included the Python error in my question. I have no way to put it as acomment (too long) Nov 10, 2013 at 15:39
  • To me that looks like a QGIS error (looking at your message)..."qgis2/python/plugins\processing\gui\AlgorithmExecutionDialog.py"

yo can obtain a "movement direction raster" or simply "direction raster" with the tool "watershed", selecting only the correct output.
