elevation_above_stream_euclidean producing empty tif about whitebox-tools HOT 4 CLOSED

and I forgot to mention that the wbt.elevation_above_stream line works.

@erikafreeman I just tested this tool on a sample DEM that I had and it worked as expected. Can you share your DEM and stream file so that I can try to replicate your issue?

I suspect that this issue was related to the GeoTIFF reader/writer and has now been resolved and so I am closing it. My testing with the tool does not show any issue. If you encounter any further problems, please feel free to re-open it.

The problem is not from GeoTIFF, but from the algorithm.

I've mentioned it here: #245

Maybe you ignored it thinking it's the issue from ourside the whitebox tools.

The problem is, the tool masks the value if "streams" raster has no_data values on it. For the streams file normally generated, it's fine as it has 1 for streams and 0 for others, but if you've run it through the ordering algorithms, then it'll have numbers for streams and no_data for others, in that case the algorithm will only output values on the streams and have mostly empty output.

You can find the fix that I purposed at that time on the linked issue. But the code seems to have changed since then, I can open up a pull request with a new code if I can figure out what to change on the new one again.

Here are some files that you can use to replicate it in the latest version. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16BPmX8jI8xJGFsKIHcQjioJ2b5Qjx4Ya?usp=sharing

You can try to run it with streams.tif and ordered-streams.tif to see what I mean.
