HYPSOMETRIC CURVES
==================
Description
-----------
Calculate hypsometric curves for features of polygon layer and save them as
CSV file for further processing.
Parameters
----------
- ``DEM to analyze [Raster]``: DEM to use for calculating altitudes.
- ``Boundary layer [Vector]``: Polygonal vector layer with boundaries of areas
used to calculate hypsometric curves.
- ``Step [Number]``: Distanse between curves. Default is 100.0
- ``Use % of area instead of absolute value [Boolean]``: Write area percentage
to "Area" field of the CSV file instead of absolute area value.
Outputs
-------
- ``Output directory [Directory]``: Directory where output will be saved. For
each feature from input vector layer CSV file with area and altitude values
will be created.
File name consists of prefix "hystogram_" followed by layer name and feature
ID.
