    """
    This function makes a raster plot of terrace locations with arrows showing the terrace
    dip and dip directions.
    Dip and dip direction are calculated by fitting a plane to each terrace using least-squares
    regression.

    Args:
        DataDirectory (str): the data directory
        fname_prefix (str): the name of the DEM without extension.
        min_size (int): minimum number of pixels for a terrace, smaller ones will be removed
        FigFormat (str): the figure format, default='png'
        size_format (str): Can be "big" (16 inches wide), "geomorphology" (6.25 inches wide), or "ESURF" (4.92 inches wide) (defualt esurf).

    Returns:
        plot of terrace locations and dip/dip directions
