Yes, it was scale ratio!, my DEM has degree units for X Y and meters for elevation. Thank you very much Gerardo, Marco and Paolo, and I' so sorry, I didn't understand the instruccions before.

It could be that you did not set the proper scale value. If your data is in lat/lon the scale ratio must be set at 111120. If your data is in meters 1 is ok. This setting relates to "how many vertical units (m) to horizontal units. Then if your data is in decimal degrees, 111120 meters are equivalent to a degree. That is the reason also if your data is in meters tere is 1 vertical unit to 1 horizontal unit. Check this out

and go to the slope section

Hope it helps

Subject: [Qgis-user] DEM terrain models problem

Dear QGIS list members:

I've got some ASTER_GDEM data (http://www.gdem.aster.ersdac.or.jp/search.jsp) and I was testing the /DEM terrain models/ GDAL tool with my DEM.

The shaded relief map that I got is ok, but slope map is wrong: this one has 0 (zero) and over 89 degrees only, (there are not 1, 2, 3....88) . I've tried all options but I got always a 0 and 89 (and decimal) degress map.

I've tried with the r.slope module (GRASS pluggin) and it does a good job: I get a full-slope map.

My distro: QGIS 1.7 on Ubuntu 11.04. A month ago I fixed it for the TIFF images problem reported here: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/gdal-1-8-0-no-tiff-support-anymore-in-Ubuntu-11-04-Natty-tc6365327.html It is relationed with this slopes problem?

As I said, the GRASS pluggin did the right work, but I'd liked GDAL tool does too. Perhaps I did something wrong or Is something wrong with this tool?

Thank you in advance for sugestions

Regards from Cajamarca - Perú
