makesurface 0.0.5dev

Create vector datasets from raster surfaces

makesurface ``cool-tools``
==========================

A few basic surface creation routines using (primarily) `rasterio <https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio>`_, `fiona <https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona>`_, and `shapely <https://github.com/Toblerity/shapely>`_

.. role:: console(code)
:language: console

Installation
------------

1. Install dependencies:

- :console:`rasterio`
- :console:`fiona`
- :console:`shapely`
- :console:`scipy`

2. Clone this repo:

:console:`git clone [e-mail]:mapbox/make-surface.git`

3. CD into :console:`make-surface` then `pip install -e .`

Alternatively, install straight from GitHub:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install -e [e-mail]:mapbox/make-surface.git#egg=makesurface

Or, install from PyPI

.. code-block:: bash

pip install makesurface --pre

Usage
------

Takes an input raster, and converts into a stacked shapefile. Sort of like :console:`gdal polygonize` with more control. Also prints out a cartocss template for stylizing (one style for each class).

:console:`makesurface <input raster> <output shapefile> [OPTIONS]`

Arguments

* :console:`<input raster>` Input single-band raster to class and vectorize

* :console:`<output shapefile>` Output shapefile to create - output will be "stacked", with lower values including areas of higher values

Options:
* :console:`-b, --band TEXT` Input band to vectorize. Can be a number, or a band name [default = 1]
* :console:`-cl, --classes TEXT` Number of output classes, OR "all" for rounded input values (ignored if class file specified) [default = 10]
* :console:`-cf, --classfile TEXT` One-line CSV of break values [default = None]
* :console:`-w, --weight INTEGER` Weighting between equal interval and quantile breaks [default = 1 / equal interval]
* :console:`-s, --smoothing INTEGER` Value by which to zoom and smooth the data [default = None]
* :console:`-nd, --nodata TEXT` Manually defined nodata value - can be any number or "min" [default = None]
* :console:`-set, --setnodata FLOAT` Value to set nodata to (eg, if nodata / masked, set pixel to this value) [default = None]
* :console:`-c, --carto`
* :console:`-n, --nibble` Expand mask by 1 pixel
* :console:`-g, --globewrap` Flag for processing of 0 - 360 grib2 rasters
* :console:`-rf, --rapfix TEXT Rap Mask - Use only for fixing RAP.grib2s
* :console:`--axonometrize FLOAT` EXPERIMENTAL
* :console:`-ns, --nosimple`
:console:`--help` Show this message and exit.
