Metacity

Python package for Geodata processing

The Metacity package allows to preprocess geospatial data and export it to a more suitable form for web visualization.

Usage

The Python packagemetacity acts as the entry data gateway. The easiest way to understand Metacity is to think of it as a pipeline. To prepare your data for visualization, you will need to:

  1. Import your data

  2. Create new Layer(s)

  3. Optionally optimize and modify the data (see Layer Modifiers)

  4. Convert Layers selected for visualization to Grid or Quad-trees

  5. Optionally optimize the data (see Grid Modifiers or Quad-tree Modifiers)

  6. Export data for streaming from Grids or Quad-trees

Structure

Metacity consists of several sub-packages:

  • metacity.io - importing and exporting data

  • metacity.geometry - geometry processing

  • metacity.utils - managing file systems and inspecting data

  • metacity.pipeline - CLI tool for quick edits - deprecated
