shapelib 0.1.0

Python utilities to facilitate working with shapely (shape creation, rasterization, plotting)

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.
