rasterizer 0.2.1

A Python package to rasterize GeoDataFrames

Rasterizer

rasterizer is a lightweight Python package for rasterizing geopandas GeoDataFrames.

This package provides functionalities that are not present in rasterio.features, such as area and length-based rasterization. It is also lighter and faster than using GDAL-based solutions.

For detailed usage and API documentation, please see the full documentation.

Features

• Rasterize lines into a binary (presence/absence) or length-based grid.
• Rasterize polygons into a binary (presence/absence) or area-based grid.
• Weighted rasterization: Rasterize geometries while weighting the output by a numerical column in the GeoDataFrame.
• Works with geopandas GeoDataFrames.
• Outputs an xarray.DataArray for easy integration with other scientific Python libraries.
• No GDAL dependency for the rasterization algorithm itself.

Installation

You can install the package directly from PyPI:

pip install rasterizer

Usage
