Changelog¶

0.4 | 2019-12-05¶

spatialist.auxil.gdalwarp(): optional progressbar via new argument pbar
spatialist.raster.Raster
- enabled reading data in zip and tar.gz archives
- bbox()
  - renamed parameter format to driver
  - new parameter source to get coordinates from the image of the GCPs
spatialist.raster.stack()
- improved parallelization
- new parameter pbar to make use of the new gdalwarp() functionality
bug fixes

compatibility of SpatiaLite tools with Windows10
compatibility with GDAL 3
new function spatialist.ancillary.parallel_apply_along_axis(): like numpy.apply_along_axis() but using multiple threads
new function spatialist.auxil.cmap_mpl2gdal(): convert matplotlib color sequences to GDAL color tables
spatialist.raster.Raster
- method write(): new argument cmap to write color maps to a file; can be created with e.g. cmap_mpl2gdal()
- subsetting: option to use map coordinates instead of just pixel coordinates
- method array():
  - automatically reduce dimensionality of returned arrays using numpy.squeeze()
  - cast arrays to float32 if the native data type does not support numpy.nan for masking missing data
- option to read image data in all .tar* archives, not just tar.gz
- new methods coord_map2img() and coord_img2map() to convert between pixel/image and map coordinates of a dataset
spatialist.vector.Vector
- better representation of the object’s geometry type(s) with new method geomTypes() and additional info when printing the object with print()
spatialist.explorer.RasterViewer
- optionally pass custom functions to create additional plots using argument custom

method spatialist.raster.Raster.write()
- optionally update an existing file with new arg update
- partial writing with new args xoff and yoff
- write external arrays with new arg array
new function spatialist.raster.png()
new function spatialist.raster.apply_along_time()
bug fixes

spatialist.raster.Raster: option to subset objects by
- band names
- time range
spatialist.auxil.crsConvert(): raise a RuntimeError if no corresponding EPSG code was found
module spatialist.explorer and associated demo data and notebook have been outsourced to https://github.com/johntruckenbrodt/spatialist_explorer

spatialist.auxil.crsConvert():
- use https for opengis links
- apply ESPG validity checks when output format is opengis (not just when epsg)
spatialist.ancillary.finder():
- raise RuntimeError (not TypeError) if target is a file but is neither zip nor tar
- raise RuntimeError (not TypeError) if target is a string but is neither directory nor file

spatialist.raster.Raster:
- method write():
  - remove unused argument compress_tif
  - add support for COG driver
spatialist.vector.Vector:
- method addlayer():
  - enable all SRS type options supported by crsConvert()
spatialist.raster.rasterize(): allow value None for argument nodata
new functions:
- spatialist.vector.vectorize()
- spatialist.vector.boundary()
