Introduction to GeoPandas |
John Fay |
Fall 2018 |
Briefly, GeoPandas is a Python package that enables geospatial analysis with Pandas dataFrames. It combines the geoprocessing engine of GDAL (which is interfaced with the Fiona package), the geospatial objects of Shapely, and of course the data manipulation power of Pandas to enable spatial analysis in Python - no ArcGIS license required!
In the notebooks folder are a set of Jupyter notebooks to familiarize yourself with the objects and functions of the GeoPandas package. While these by no means cover all there is to know about GeoPandas, they do bring you up to speed on some ways to construct a GeoPandas dataFrame and the basic properties and methods of it and other GeoPandas classes.
