GeoPandas |version| =================== GeoPandas is an open source project to make working with geospatial data in python easier. GeoPandas extends the datatypes used by `pandas`_ to allow spatial operations on geometric types. Geometric operations are performed by `shapely`_. Geopandas further depends on `fiona`_ for file access and `matplotlib`_ for plotting. .. _pandas: http://pandas.pydata.org .. _shapely: https://shapely.readthedocs.io .. _fiona: https://fiona.readthedocs.io .. _matplotlib: http://matplotlib.org Description ----------- The goal of GeoPandas is to make working with geospatial data in python easier. It combines the capabilities of pandas and shapely, providing geospatial operations in pandas and a high-level interface to multiple geometries to shapely. GeoPandas enables you to easily do operations in python that would otherwise require a spatial database such as PostGIS. .. toctree:: :hidden: Home About Getting started Documentation Community .. container:: button :doc:`Getting started ` :doc:`Documentation ` :doc:`About GeoPandas ` :doc:`Community ` Useful links ------------ `Binary Installers (PyPI) `_ | `Source Repository (GitHub) `_ | `Issues & Ideas `_ | `Q&A Support `_ Supported by ------------ .. image:: https://numfocus.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/NumFocus_LRG.png :alt: numfocus :width: 400 :target: https://numfocus.org Indices and tables ------------------ * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search`
