New blog post! A bunch of notes on creating a picture of some geospatial data with polygons and points on top of it. Mostly this one is notes to my self for next time, but it might be useful to someone else too.

Lots of code examples so it didn't make sense as a thread this time.

Plotting Geospatial Data

As useful as data is on its own, its really important for people to be able to see it. For a recent project I needed to show some World Cover images with the area of interest marked, along side the table of results. People respond better to being able to see it. This how I did that. Lets start with a list of tools we used: GeoPandas Rasterio MatPlotLib First we need to open our image data.

@Emily_S thanks for sharing 😀👍 you might want to give it a go with #chatGPT next time, it is fluent in geospatial Python… 🤓 it also explains stuff in addition to delivering fully usable code.

@Emily_S Thanks for this. Going through it, I can't stop thinking that the fact that you need a two page write up of how to do a simple everyday task suggests our tooling is pretty inadequate.

@jgomezdans yeah. There were a bunch of bits that took a while to work out. The weirdest one was getting rid of the white border on the result 😂

The actual plotting of the data wasn't too bad a line for each datasets but still.
