Overview

This software provides a library for generating or otherwise manipulating N-dimensional raster geometric shapes.

Most of the code is used is used in a number of projects where it is tested against real-life scenarios.

As a result of the code maturity, some of the library components may undergo (eventually heavy) refactoring. While this is not expected, this will be documented. Please file a bug report if you detect an undocumented refactoring.

Releases information are available through NEWS.rst.

For a more comprehensive list of changes see CHANGELOG.rst (automatically generated from the version control system).

Features

The 2D geometrical shapes currently available are:

• square

• rectangle

• rhombus

• circle

• ellipse

The 3D geometrical shapes currently available are:

• cube

• cuboid

• rhomboid

• sphere

• ellipsoid

• cylinder

The N-dim geometrical shapes currently available are:

• cuboid: sum[abs(x_n/a_n)^inf] < 1

• superellipsoid: sum[abs(x_n/a_n)^k] < 1

• prism: stack (N-1)-D rendered objects on given axis

etc.

Additional may be added in the future.

Installation

The recommended way of installing the software is through PyPI:

$ pip install raster_geometry

Alternatively, you can clone the source repository from GitHub:

$ git clone git@github.com:norok2/raster_geometry.git
$ cd raster_geometry
$ pip install -e .
