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
