Installation

Geostructures is available on PYPI

$ pip install geostructures

Overview

For an interactive introduction, please review our collection of Jupyter notebooks.

Geostructures provides a python interface for functionally defining various shapes drawn on a map. Unlike other libraries such as Shapely, these shapes retain their mathematical definitions rather than being simplified into N-sided polygons.

The shapes currently supported are:

• Boxes
• Circles
• Ellipses
• LineStrings
• Points
• Polygons
• Rings/Wedges

All shapes may optionally be temporally-bound using a specific datetime or a datetime interval.

Additionally, geostructures provides convenience objects for representing chronologically-ordered (Track) and unordered (FeatureCollection) collections of the above shapes.

Projections

This library assumes that all geospatial terms and structures conform to the WGS84 standard.

Reporting Issues / Requesting Features
