v0.12.2

Release Notes

New Features

• Add a new class called GeoBSpline that generates B-splines from a set of coordinates. The spline attribute of this class has five attributes: x and y coordinates, phi and radius which are curvature and radius of curvature, respectively, and distance which is the total distance of each point along the B-spline from the starting points.
• Add a new class called Coordinates that validates a set of lon/lat coordinates. It normalizes longitudes to the range [-180, 180) and has a points property that is geopandas.GeoSeries with validated coordinates. It uses spatial indexing to speed up the validation and should be able to handle large datasets efficiently.
• Make transform2tuple a public function.

Internal Changes

• The geometry and geo_crs arguments of gtiff2xarray are now optional. This is useful for cases when the input GeoTiff response is the results of a bounding box query and there is no need for a geometry mask.
• Replace the missing values after adding geometry mask via xarray_geomask by the nodatavals attribute of the input xarray.DataArray or xarray.Dataset. Therefore, the data type of the input xarray.DataArray or xarray.Dataset is conserved.
• Expose connectivity argument of rasterio.features.shapes function in xarray2geodf function.
• Move all private functions to a new module to make the main module less cluttered.
