datashader-cli

Quick visualization of large datasets using CLI based on datashader.

Installation

Use pip

pip install datashader-cli

Use pip from Github

pip install git+https://github.com/wybert/datashader-cli.git

Quick Start

Visualize 10 million NYC taxi trip data points in Gigabytes.

Create a shaded scatter plot of points and save it to png file, set background color to black.

datashader_cli points nyc_taxi.parquet --x pickup_x --y pickup_y pickup-scatter.png --background black

Visualize the geospaital data, support Geoparquet, Shapefile, Geojson, Geopackage, etc.

datashader_cli points data.geo.parquet data.png --geo true

Use matplotlib to render the image, matplotlib will enable the colorbar, but it can't use spread function

datashader_cli points data.geo.parquet data.png --geo true --matplotlib true
