Python tools for geographic data

Introduction
------------

GeoPandas is a project to add support for geographic data to
[pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org) objects.  It currently implements
`GeoSeries` and `GeoDataFrame` types which are subclasses of
`pandas.Series` and `pandas.DataFrame` respectively.  GeoPandas
objects can act on [shapely](http://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
geometry objects and perform geometric operations.

GeoPandas geometry operations are cartesian.  The coordinate reference
system (crs) can be stored as an attribute on an object, and is
automatically set when loading from a file.  Objects may be
transformed to new coordinate systems with the `to_crs()` method.
There is currently no enforcement of like coordinates for operations,
but that may change in the future.

Documentation is available at [geopandas.org](http://geopandas.org)
(current release) and
[Read the Docs](http://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
(release and development versions).

Install
--------

See the [installation docs](https://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html)
for all details. GeoPandas depends on the following packages:

- ``pandas``
- ``shapely``
- ``fiona``
- ``pyproj``

Further, ``matplotlib`` is an optional dependency, required
for plotting, and [``rtree``](https://github.com/Toblerity/rtree) is an optional
dependency, required for spatial joins. ``rtree`` requires the C library [``libspatialindex``](https://github.com/libspatialindex/libspatialindex).

Those packages depend on several low-level libraries for geospatial analysis, which can be a challenge to install. Therefore, we recommend to install GeoPandas using the [conda package manager](https://conda.io/en/latest/). See the [installation docs](https://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html) for more details.

Examples
--------

    >>> import geopandas
    >>> from shapely.geometry import Polygon
    >>> p1 = Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1)])
    >>> p2 = Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)])
    >>> p3 = Polygon([(2, 0), (3, 0), (3, 1), (2, 1)])
    >>> g = geopandas.GeoSeries([p1, p2, p3])
    >>> g
    0         POLYGON ((0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 0))
    1    POLYGON ((0 0, 1 0, 1 1, 0 1, 0 0))
    2    POLYGON ((2 0, 3 0, 3 1, 2 1, 2 0))
    dtype: geometry

Some geographic operations return normal pandas object.  The `area` property of a `GeoSeries` will return a `pandas.Series` containing the area of each item in the `GeoSeries`:

    >>> print(g.area)
    0    0.5
    1    1.0
    2    1.0
    dtype: float64

Other operations return GeoPandas objects:

    >>> g.buffer(0.5)
    0    POLYGON ((-0.3535533905932737 0.35355339059327...
    1    POLYGON ((-0.5 0, -0.5 1, -0.4975923633360985 ...
    2    POLYGON ((1.5 0, 1.5 1, 1.502407636663901 1.04...
    dtype: geometry

![Example 2](doc/source/gallery/test_buffer.png)

GeoPandas objects also know how to plot themselves. GeoPandas uses
[matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org) for plotting. To generate a plot of our
GeoSeries, use:

    >>> g.plot()

GeoPandas also implements alternate constructors that can read any data format recognized by [fiona](http://fiona.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). To read a zip file containing an ESRI shapefile with the [boroughs boundaries of New York City](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Borough-Boundaries/tqmj-j8zm) (GeoPandas includes this as an example dataset):

    >>> nybb_path = geopandas.datasets.get_path('nybb')
    >>> boros = geopandas.read_file(nybb_path)
    >>> boros.set_index('BoroCode', inplace=True)
    >>> boros.sort_index(inplace=True)
    >>> boros
