Project description
Python utilities to facilitate working with shapely (shape creation, rasterization, plotting)
- Free software: BSD license
- Documentation: http://shapelib.rtfd.org.
Features
- provides easy methods to interact with shapely and other related libraries
- easy creation of complex geometric shapes
- geometric operations: - extend line - extrapolate points - generate perpendicular lines - calculate angles - find the nearest points between two geometries
- rasterization - convert a shape to an array - convert a shape to a picture - plot a complex shape with matplotlib
Incentive
shapelib started as a set of utilities to build geometric shapes as part of acoustic simulations (walls, ducts, tubes). It proved to be useful outside of this specific domain.
History
