Mesa-Geo implements a GeoSpace
that can host GIS-based GeoAgents
, which are like normal Agents, except they have a geometry
attribute that is a Shapely object and a crs
attribute for its Coordinate Reference System. You can use Shapely
directly to create arbitrary geometries, but in most cases you will want to import your geometries from a file. Mesa-Geo allows you to create GeoAgents from any vector data file (e.g. shapefiles), valid GeoJSON objects or a GeoPandas GeoDataFrame.
Using Mesa-Geo
To install Mesa-Geo, run
pip install mesa-geo
You can also use pip
