Description

Calculation of isochrones with variable speed. In case a cell in an optional input grid is NoData, the corresponding parameter value will be used instead of skipping this cell. This is the non-interactive tool version, where the target point can be specified either as point shapefile (the first point in the file will be used) or by target coordinates.
