This repository contains the specification of BAG data format and the necessary library code and examples required to build and work with data in the BAG format:
- api - This is the primary API directory and contains the source for the Bathymetric Attributed Grid format (BAG).
- configdata - Required XML support files. You must have an environment variable called BAG_HOME mapped to this directory in order to run the API functions.
- docs - Miscellaneous and historical documentation resides here
- examples - Contains programs to demonstrate some of the API functionality. In particular bag_create and bag_read are good starting points.
- python - Contains Python units tests and examples that make use of the SWIG interface.
- tests - Contains C++ tests.
The BAG specification and library are produced by the Open Navigation Surface project.
Documentation for the BAG specification and library can be found here, in particular:
The BAG library, and its dependencies, can be installed in a Conda environment (for example, Anaconda or Miniconda).
If you only want the C++ library, install libbaglib.
To install the Python bindings (along with the C++ library) install bagpy.
Once installed, you can test C++ library by building the BAG examples as a standalone project.
Note: You can use FindBAG.cmake in your own projects to locate libbaglib installed via conda.
Likewise, you can run the Python tests using the Conda-provided bagpy
bindings by first installing the test dependencies into your conda environment:
pip install -r requirements.txtThen run the tests (Linux and macOS):
BAG_SAMPLES_PATH=./examples/sample-data python -m pytest python/test_*.pyUnder Windows, run:
set BAG_SAMPLES_PATH=examples\sample-data
python -m pytest python\test_*.pyComprehensive build instructions can be found here.
