@AlexanderJuestel of these formats which ones are you already able to read in gemgis?
Hey,
shp - shape format - the feature geometry itself shx - shape index format - a positional index of the feature to allow seeking forwards and backwards quickly dbf - attribute format - columnar attributes for each shape cpg - used to specify the code page prj - projection description
Here how one set of files look like
So technically we "only" need geopandas for this formats? For subsurface I am trying to keep all those libraries optional (i.e. you only need to install them if you want to load that specific type of data).
@AlexanderJuestel if I prepare you the module and test do you want to give a go to this issue?
Sorry for the late reply.
Geopandas should be sufficient. Lately, I have worked much more with shapely though. Each GeoSeries in a GeoDataFrame consists of a shapely object and you can do all sorts of operations on these objects. The data is usually opened with Fiona. So what I usually do now is to build a GeoDataFrame as last step of each working process to have a better visualization for the user :)
