Implement a simple function to load shapefiles #52

Closed kkmcgg closed 3 years ago

kkmcgg commented 3 years ago

We will require shapefiles periodically as training data and to check our classification results. Lets investigate some methods for achieving this. A simple library that may facilitate this is pyshape: https://github.com/GeospatialPython/pyshp

An initial iteration of this function could simply load a given shapefile and display it using matplotlib. The function could be done as an experiment or included into the core.py functions.

Check this out, too: https://geopandas.org/index.html. It uses https://github.com/Toblerity/Fiona for file access, which uses GDAL. If we end up using pandas, maybe we should use geopandas.

Have you used that before, Kevin?
