GeoPandas |version|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
GeoPandas is an open source project to make working with geospatial
|
|
data in python easier. GeoPandas extends the datatypes used by
|
|
`pandas`_ to allow spatial operations on geometric types. Geometric
|
|
operations are performed by `shapely`_. Geopandas further depends on
|
|
`fiona`_ for file access and `descartes`_ and `matplotlib`_ for plotting.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The goal of GeoPandas is to make working with geospatial data in
|
|
python easier. It combines the capabilities of pandas and shapely,
|
|
providing geospatial operations in pandas and a high-level interface
|
|
to multiple geometries to shapely. GeoPandas enables you to easily do
|
|
operations in python that would otherwise require a spatial database
|
|
such as PostGIS.
