topo-tools

CI PyPI Python versions License: MIT

World ADM0 boundaries extended with Voronoi-filled coastline

topo-tools is a collection of DuckDB-powered geospatial topology utilities for cleaning and reconciling administrative boundary polygons. It ships eight tools, usable from the CLI or as a Python package:

Tool What it does Usage
edge-extend Fills gaps around a polygon layer (missing coastline, disputed areas, water bodies) with a Voronoi extension, producing full coverage. docs/explanation/edge_extend.md
edge-clip Assigns each child to its parent, then clips it to that parent's geometry. docs/explanation/edge_clip.md
edge-stitch Closes seams in an already-tiled polygon layer with one whole-table coverage-clean pass. docs/explanation/edge_stitch.md
topo-detect Scans a single polygon layer for gap/overlap coverage defects and reports them, without fixing anything. docs/explanation/topo_detect.md
edge-match Fits a finer child polygon layer into a coarser parent layer, grouping and extending each child to fill gaps within its own parent. docs/explanation/edge_match.md
edge-mosaic Re-clips an already-extended child layer into a new/different parent layer, skipping Voronoi extension entirely. docs/explanation/edge_mosaic.md
topo-clean Detects and fixes gap/overlap defects in a single polygon layer, reporting issues for manual review. docs/explanation/topo_clean.md
change Compares two versions of a polygon layer and classifies every unit as unchanged, renamed, modified, split, merged, created, or removed. docs/explanation/change.md

Installation

uv tool install topo-tools   # CLI (recommended)
uv add topo-tools            # Python library

Or with pip:

pip install topo-tools

Each linked doc above covers that tool's CLI/Python usage, options, and examples.

Supported Formats

Polygon inputs/outputs: GeoParquet (.parquet), GeoPackage (.gpkg), Shapefile (.shp), GeoJSON (.geojson). Output format matches input format. change's tabular changelog is CSV or GeoParquet only; its spatial overlay layer supports the same four formats as the other tools.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for development setup.
