polygon-geohasher-2 0.0.2

Wrapper over Shapely that returns the set of geohashes that form a Polygon.

polygon-geohasher-2

[!NOTE] This is a minimally maintained fork of the original Bonsanto/polygon-geohasher repo, which does not appear to be actively maintained.

The original project is published to PyPi under the package name polygon-geohasher; this project is published under the package name polygon-geohasher-2. My goal is to provide a stable package that works with all actively maintained Python versions (those with a status of bugfix or security here). I will likely not implement any feature enhancements, but contributions are welcome!

Polygon Geohasher is an open source Python package for converting Shapely's polygons into a set of geohashes. It obtains the set of geohashes inside a polygon or geohashes that touch (intersect) the polygon. This library uses python-geohash and shapely.

Requirements

Polygon Geohasher requires:

• Python >= 3.x.
• GEOS >= 3.3 (due to shapely).

Installing

Linux users can get Polygon Geohasher from the Python Package Index with pip (8+):

$ pip install polygon-geohasher-2

Usage

Here are some simple examples:

from polygon_geohasher.polygon_geohasher import polygon_to_geohashes, geohashes_to_polygon
from shapely import geometry

polygon = geometry.Polygon([(-99.1795917, 19.432134), (-99.1656847, 19.429034),
                            (-99.1776492, 19.414236), (-99.1795917, 19.432134)])
inner_geohashes_polygon = geohashes_to_polygon(polygon_to_geohashes(polygon, 7))
outer_geohashes_polygon = geohashes_to_polygon(polygon_to_geohashes(polygon, 7, False))

geohash_to_polygon(geohash):

This function receives a geohash and returns a Shapely's Polygon.

geohashes_to_polygon(geohashes):

This function receives a set of geohashes and returns a Shapely's Polygon or MultiPolygon.

polygon_to_geohashes(polygon, precision[, inner=True]):

This function receives a Shapely's Polygon and the precision of geohashes to be used to create a polygon and returns a set of geohashes (strings) that covers said polygon. It also receives an optional parameter inner that defines the way in which those polygons will be created. If an inner parameter is given, then only contained geohashes will be used; otherwise, intersected geohashes will be used.

See geohashed polygons resulting from both options (with and without inner) in the following example:
