gis-utils 0.3.6

Convenience functions for working with geospatial data in python.

gis-utils

Convenience functions for working with geospatial data in python. The python geospatial stack (fiona, shapely, rasterio, pyproj, rtree, and others) combined with numpy and pandas provides enormous power and flexibility for geospatial analysis. However, common geoprocessing tasks often require several lines of boiler-plate code that can be tedious, repetitive and difficult to remember. gis-utils aims to distill these operations into simple, robust functions that can be imported into any workflow, to reduce cognitive load and allow effort to be focused on the more important parts of the analysis.
