Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
GeoPandas is a project to add support for geographic data to
|
|
[pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org) objects. It currently implements
|
|
`GeoSeries` and `GeoDataFrame` types which is are subclasses of `pandas.Series`
|
|
and `pandas.DataFrame` respectively. GeoPandas objects can act on
|
|
[shapely](http://toblerity.github.io/shapely) geometry objects and perform geometric
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
>>> p1 = Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1)])
|
|
>>> p2 = Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)])
|
|
>>> p3 = Polygon([(2, 0), (3, 0), (3, 1), (2, 1)])
|
|
>>> g = GeoSeries([p1, p2, p3])
|
|
>>> g
|
|
0 POLYGON ((0.0000000000000000 0.000000000000000...
|
|
1 POLYGON ((0.0000000000000000 0.000000000000000...
|
|
2 POLYGON ((2.0000000000000000 0.000000000000000...

Some geographic operations return normal pandas object. Calling the `area()` method of a `GeoSeries` will generate a `pandas.Series` containing the area of each item in the `GeoSeries`:
|
|
|
|
>>> print g.area
|
|
0 0.5
|
|
1 1.0
|
|
2 1.0
|
|
dtype: float64
|
|
|
|
Other operations return GeoPandas objects:
|
|
|
|
>>> g.buffer(0.5)
|
|
Out[15]:
|
|
0 POLYGON ((-0.3535533905932737 0.35355339059327...
|
|
1 POLYGON ((-0.5000000000000000 0.00000000000000...
|
|
2 POLYGON ((1.5000000000000000 0.000000000000000...
|
|
dtype: object
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
GeoPandas objects also know how to plot themselves. GeoPandas uses [descartes](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/descartes) to generate a [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org) plot. To generate a plot of our GeoSeries, use:
|
|
|
|
>>> g.plot()
|
|
|
|
GeoPandas also implements a alternate constructors that can read any data format recognized by [fiona](http://toblerity.github.io/fiona). To read a [file containing the boroughs of New York City](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/download/bytes/nybb_13a.zip):
|
|
|
|
>>> boros = GeoDataFrame.from_file('nybb.shp')
|
|
>>> boros.set_index('BoroCode', inplace=True)
|
|
>>> boros.sort()
|
|
>>> boros

TODO
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
- Not all Shapely operations are yet exposed to a GeoSeries
|
|
- The current GeoDataFrame does not do very much.
|
|
- spatial joins, grouping and more...
|
