Generates an aspect map from any GDAL-supported elevation raster. Aspect is the compass direction that a slope faces. The pixels will have a value from 0-360° measured in degress from north indicating the azimuth. On the northern hemisphere, the north side of slopes is often shaded (small azimuth from 0°-90°), while the southern side receives more solar radiation (higher azimuth from 180°-270°). The algorithm is derived from the GDAL DEM utility .

Fill raster regions with no data values by interpolation from edges. The values for the no-data regions are calculated by the sourrounding pixel values using inverse distance weighting. After the interpolation a smoothing of the results takes placce. Input can be any GDAL-supported raster layer. This algorithm is generally suitable for interpolating missing regions of fairly continuously varying rasters (such as elevation models for instance). It is also suitable for filling small holes and cracks in more irregularly varying images (like airphotos). It is generally not so great for interpolating a raster from sparse point data. The algorithm is derived from the GDAL fillnodata utility .
