Calculating aspects and slopes/gradients of triangle surfaces about d3-tricontour HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm sorry I dont understand the question. But I'm curious—do you have an example?

from d3-tricontour.

About aspects and gradients described in following(page 9-13).

ArcGIS Pro and QGIS(https://docs.qgis.org/2.14/en/docs/training_manual/rasters/terrain_analysis.html)
has terrain analysis function including these.

I found more detail illustrated description in https://www.onestopgis.com/GIS-Theory-and-Techniques/Terrain-Mapping-and-Analysis/Terrain-Analysis-Slope-and-Aspect/2-Approx-Methods-for-Calculating-Slope-Aspect.html

from d3-tricontour.

Right, but this would be related to the triangulation, not the contours?

It should be relatively easy to compute :

• the normal to triangle ABC is the cross-product AB x AC, normalized to 1 (x, y, z)
• the slope's cosine is the vertical component of the normal (z)
• the aspect is atan2(y, x)

Let me know if you have a concrete dataset that would benefit from this.
