#geopackage — Public Fediverse posts

@russss @geofabrik I switched away from #shapefiles to #geopackage because shp can't be more than 4 (or is it 2) GiB.
Otherwise I haven't been convinced...

#viewinline: A new no-fuss way to visualize your vector data and rasters right in the #terminal: viewinline is a lightweight #Python utility by @Keiko_geo that renders #GeoTIFF-s, #GeoPackage-s, #GeoJSON-s, and #Shapefile-s instantly in #iterm2 (and other compatible terminals).

"This tutorial was created for a day-long introductory GIS workshop and for self-directed learners, using the free and open source QGIS desktop software. Download QGIS and install it for Windows, Mac, or Linux. It's recommended that you install the same version of QGIS that's being used in the tutorial, which is written for the stable long term release…”

Built a webmap to generate random geodata with export to #Geopackage #FlatGeobuf #CSV #GeoJSON or #PGDump

Besides #wgs84 (latitude/longitude) all #UTM projections are supported dynamically by location

Thanks to #GDAL #WebAssembly this works completely in the browser and does not require server processing 🤩

Hey #spatial #R folks, is it possible to extract geometries from #ggplot as files? That is, the point, line, and polygon geometries in the graphs to #geopackage or #shapefile etc.

It is possible with #seaborn and #matplotlib, but that's Python not R. There's a nice and lightning fast #EdgeBundling technique in the newest ggplot, which is very promising for the #visualization of massive #mobility data.

There is also something in #HoloViews but I do not understand that library at all.

Missed your 25th birthday @shapefiIe (July 1998); that is 175 years in technology years! 🙃 😜 🤔 😁
(and some are worried about Joe Biden!)
