Equi7Grid

A python class for working with Equi7Grid - how to convert to - how to use the tiling system - etc.

It's a python package that handles the geometric and geographic operations of a gridded and tiled projection system. It was designed for data cubes ingesting satellite imagery and builds the basis for the Equi7Grid (see https://github.com/TUW-GEO/Equi7Grid).

A detailed documentation on the Equi7Grid definition is at:

Overlays for visualisation in Google Earth can be found here:

Installation

This package should be installable through pip:

pip install Equi7Grid

Installs for scripy and gdal are required from conda or conda-forge.

Contribute

We are happy if you want to contribute. Please raise an issue explaining what is missing or if you find a bug. We will also gladly accept pull requests against our master branch for new features or bug fixes.

Development setup

For Development we recommend a conda environment.

Example installation script

The following script will install miniconda and setup the environment on a UNIX like system. Miniconda will be installed into $HOME/miniconda.

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh
bash miniconda.sh -b -p $HOME/miniconda
export PATH="$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH"
conda create -n equi7grid_env python=3.6 numpy scipy pip gdal pyproj shapely geographiclib
source activate equi7grid_env
pip install pytileproj

This script adds $HOME/miniconda/bin temporarily to the PATH to do this permanently add export PATH="$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH" to your .bashrc or .zshrc

The last line in the example activates the equi7grid_env environment.

After that you should be able to run:

python setup.py test

to run the test suite.

Guidelines

If you want to contribute please follow these steps:

• Fork the Equi7Grid repository to your account
• Clone the repository
• make a new feature branch from the Equi7Grid master branch
• Add your feature
• Please include tests for your contributions in one of the test directories. We use py.test so a simple function called test_my_feature is enough
• submit a pull request to our master branch
