The Display Stream Profile command is used to display the elevation profile between two selected stream nodes. Because of the limited resolution of most elevation data sets, it is difficult to get a continuous set of stream bed elevations. Within this dialog you can select and edit the elevation of individual stream nodes or you can select two different stream nodes from the profile plot and linearly interpolate the elevation of all nodes in between. In this way you can smooth out pits in the stream that may exist only because of a lack of resolution.

When using this command you must select at least two stream nodes and the second one selected must be upstream of the first.
