Incorporate more Python geospatial data tools into GeoClaw #279

Open rjleveque opened 7 years ago

rjleveque commented 7 years ago

The tutorials from a recent Geohack week contain lots of some hints on reading in raster files via rasterio, applying map projections, etc.

For those using conda environments, this environment.yml file and the ones found in each tutorial might be useful for getting lots of these tools. Note: to get this to work with gdal I first had to un-install the one I had installed with brew.

Also, this Geohack week project is something I plan to eventually incorporate in our visualization tools.

Is rasterio a wrapper to multiple other libraries or just GDAL? Should #278 instead use rasterio?

rjleveque commented 7 years ago

I don't know too much about it, but I think maybe just GDAL. The documentation says dependencies are "GDAL, GEOS, and PROJ4 libraries".

mandli commented 7 years ago

proj4 I think is a different library but maybe it's not hard to install. I will look into it.
