IS&T RCS Tutorial - Python GIS: Geopandas Library (Hands-on)

GeoPandas is a Python library that extends the functionality of the Pandas DataFrame object. This allows one to import vector data (points, polylines, and polygons) into a DataFrame object but the python library enables additional functions and spatial attributes used for spatial operations on the DataFrame and enables one to generate maps showing the spatial data. In this tutorial I will introduce you to the GeoPandas functions that will allow you to import GIS data, apply select spatial operations, and produce some simple maps. Prerequisite: Basic programming in Python and using Pandas DataFrame.
