Geopandas

  • Exactly like pandas, but with some extra features for geo data
  • Types
    • GeoDataFrame
    • GeoSeries

​

​

import geopandas as gpd

​

df = gpd.read_file('data_file.shp')

​

df.plot(column='some_col', legend=True)

plt.savefig('plot.png')

zip

  • zip is a helpful built-in function to help you combine lists

​

  • Note: zip does not return a list! It returns a generator
    • Can only access the values by iterating over them
    • Can only be used once! Iterating “consumes” the series

​

​

​

5

x = [1,2,3]

y = [4,5,6]

zip(x, y)

Matplotlib

  • Before, we were using a lot of matplotlib stuff blindly
  • Default plots gets plotted on a global figure (think canvas)
    • Multiple plots would overwrite each other
  • You have to do extra work to get more information on the same set of axes.

​

6

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1)

<plot1>(ax=ax)

<plot2>(ax=ax)

fig.savefig('plot_together.png')
