GigaSpatial¶

GigaSpatial acquires published geospatial datasets into a data store you control, loads them for a source, and processes them. A generator maps a dataset onto points of interest or zones. The result is a view: those places with attributes from the datasets attached.

Tutorial API reference

from gigaspatial import H3ViewGenerator

zones = H3ViewGenerator(source="RWA", resolution=6)
view = zones.map_wp_pop(country="RWA")
print(view.head())

Map it onto placesA generator attaches a dataset to points of interest or zones. The result is a view.
Process the filesRead a raster or a table yourself when you want the stored files rather than a view.
