geo-utils Description

Miscellaneous geospatial utilities geo-utils contains two helpful utility functions: 1. Point-in-polygon test 2. Random point generator. Right now it performs better if the polygon covers a large portion of its bounding box. The test is performed using this algorithm. 1. Generate a bounding box 2. Generate a random point within this bounding box 3. Perform a point-in-polygon test on this point. If the test succeeds, return the point, if not loop to step a and perform again. ** If anyone know of a better way to do above, let me know. I'd love to hear some better ideas especially when dealing with complex concave polygons.USAGE:Point-in-polygon test:polygon = Polygon((0,0), (0,4), (4,4), (4,0), (0,0))point = geo.Point(2,2)assert polygon.contains(geo.Point(2,2))Random point within a polygonpolygon = Polygon( geo.LatLon(42.39321,-82.92114), geo.LatLon(42.39194,-82.91669), geo.LatLon(42.39147,-82.91796), geo.LatLon(42.39090,-82.91974), geo.LatLon(42.39321,-82.92114))point = polygon.random_point()assert polygon.contains(point)INSTALLATION:You can install the package either by cloning this repository and running the standardpython setup.py installor install from pypipip install geo-utils Requirements: · Python
