I am specifically trying to get legngth downslope
to a watershed outlet.
...
1. does a script or program exist to display a flow line as
well as calculate it's length to the outlet that is more
accurate? (based on the DEM)
Perhaps I can partially help - have a look at r.flow program placed
on moon server. It uses a raster/vector approach in construction
of flow lines and calculates also flowpath lengths. Play with
s.surf.tps /more smoothing and so on/ to get smoother DEM with less
depressions.
Good Luck,
Jaro
