Setting Up Your Geospatial Python Environment

Introduction

Installing virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

Installing pyproj and NumPy

Installing shapely, matplotlib, and descartes

Installing pyshp, geojson, and pandas

Installing SciPy, PySAL, and IPython

Installing GDAL and OGR

Installing GeoDjango and PostgreSQL with PostGIS

Working with Projections

Introduction

Listing projection(s) from a WMS server

Creating a projection definition for a Shapefile if it does not exist

Batch setting the projection definition of a folder full of Shapefiles

Reprojecting a Shapefile from one projection to another

Moving Spatial Data from One Format to Another

Introduction

Converting a Shapefile to a PostGIS table using ogr2ogr

Batch importing a folder of Shapefiles into PostGIS using ogr2ogr

Batch exporting a list of tables from PostGIS to Shapefiles

Converting an OpenStreetMap (OSM) XML to a Shapefile

Converting a Shapefile (vector) to a GeoTiff (raster)

Working with PostGIS

Introduction

Executing a PostGIS ST_Buffer analysis query and exporting it to GeoJSON

Finding out whether a point is inside a polygon

Splitting LineStrings at intersections using ST_Node

Checking the validity of LineStrings

Executing a spatial join and assigning point attributes to a polygon

Conducting a complex spatial analysis query using ST_Distance()

Vector Analysis

Introduction

Clipping LineStrings to an area of interest

Splitting polygons with lines

Finding the location of a point on a line using linear referencing

Snapping a point to the nearest line

Calculating 3D ground distance and total elevation gain

Overlay Analysis

Introduction
