Slope is the magnitude portion of the gradient vector. It is the maximum
change of elevation from a raster cell to any immediate neighbor. It uses Horn's method
for computing slope.
As with aspect, slope is calculated from estimates of the partial derivatives dz / dx and dz / dy.
Calculates the slope of each cell in a raster.
