Sean Gillies: Fiona 1.10.0
sur Planet OSGeoI made a software release last Tuesday. One with new features, deprecations, major refactoring, and packaging and dependency changes, not just bug fixes. Fiona 1.10.0 has three main changes: Python openers, CLI filter commands, and new data classes.
Python openers can connect filesystems implemented in Python, like fsspec or tiledb.vfs, to GDAL's own virtual filesystem machinery. In most cases, you should reply on GDAL's built-in virtual filesystem handlers. On the other hand, if you have unique or proprietary data access protocols, then Fiona's new openers may be useful. As far as I know, Fiona (and Rasterio) have the only open source implementations of GDAL's virtual filesystem plugin system. David Hoese had the initial idea, Even Rouault helped a lot, and I got it over the finish line. I think this is right up there with MemoryFile for my favorite feature that didn't exist in Python-GIS software before.
Fiona's CLI has three new commands, filter (strictly speaking, a new mode of this command), map, and reduce. These provide some great features for Unix-style data processing pipelines and are designed to work well with jq and programs of that nature. Think of them as the data processing part of ogr2ogr, split into 3 simpler commands, reading and writing to stdin/stdout by default, with no SQL and no need to know about different SQL dialects. The documentation contains a new tutorial about using filter, map, and reduce. This work began in planetlabs/fio-planet and now lives in the Fiona CLI core. Thank you, Tim Schaub, for stewarding the transition.
Lastly, Fiona now longer represents GIS features (and their geometries and properties) as Python dicts, but as Python classes:
fiona.model.Feature,fiona.model.Geometry, andfiona.model.Properties. These classes provide dict-like access for backwards compatibility, but raise warnings when mutated. These data classes will be immutable in version 2.0.A lot of GIS-Python attention has moved on to columnar data and massive amounts of time series, trajectories, telemetry, etc, using Parquet and Arrow. But, there's still a need to reason about persistent spatial things in our world and their relationships to each other. Classic GIS features, in other words. Watersheds, counties, neighborhoods. That's what Fiona remains concerned about.

Fernando Quadro: Geotecnologia aplicada na Silvicultura
sur Planet OSGeoAs conhecidas geotecnologias extrapolam os limites de sua ciência de desenvolvimento e aplicação. Dentre os vários setores produtivos nos quais ela é utilizada, a silvicultura é uma atividade que aproveita ao máximo o universo de soluções para diversos setores da gestão florestal. Tudo o que ela tem para oferecer pode ser aproveitado em benefício da gestão florestal. A geotecnologia se apresenta como uma ferramenta poderosa, oferecendo novas maneiras de se coletar dados, monitorar ecossistemas florestais e tomar decisões informadas. Atualmente é impossível imaginar que a gestão de uma floresta plantada possa ser realizada sem o uso desta potente ferramenta.
O drone, por exemplo, como ferramenta é um grande marco na geotecnologia. A possibilidade de municiar cada equipe de campo com um drone com uma câmera fotográfica embarcada elevou o nível da geotecnologia aplicada na silvicultura a um patamar nunca vivenciado. Claro que este avanço teve que superar questões como a dificuldade no processamento de tantas imagens capturadas, na identificação de indivíduos e na separação entre espécies através de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto. Dificuldades essas que se ampliaram com o surgimento de sensores LiDAR embarcados, que detalha o espaço com precisão milimétrica, sendo certo que a resolução dessas demandas abriu muitas possibilidades para o manejo silvicultural, especialmente para o inventário florestal.
Atualmente o estado da arte da geotecnologia aplicada na silvicultura está representada nos seguintes usos:
Big Data Geoespacial: A explosão de dados geoespaciais gerados por uma variedade de fontes, incluindo sensores remotos, dispositivos móveis e estações de monitoramento, está impulsionando o desenvolvimento de técnicas de análise de big data geoespacial. Isso inclui algoritmos de machine learning e inteligência artificial para análise de padrões espaciais, previsão e tomada de decisões. Internet das Coisas (IoT) Geoespacial: A integração de sensores geoespaciais em equipamentos de monitoramento cria um ambiente de IoT geoespacial. Isso permite a coleta contínua de dados em tempo real sobre o ambiente e árvores individuais aumentando a compreensão das interações floresta-ambiente. Geotecnologia para Inteligência Artificial: A geotecnologia está sendo integrada a algoritmos de inteligência artificial para uma variedade de aplicações, incluindo detecção de mudanças no uso da terra, identificação de espécies individuais e doenças a partir de imagens aéreas, previsão de eventos climáticos extremos, otimização de recursos operacionais, entre outras.Não há dúvidas que a geotecnologia tem enorme participação no aumento da produtividade florestal experimentada nos dias de hoje, seja na melhoria do manejo, na conservação hídrica e do solo, seja no aproveitamento de regiões antes consideradas inaptas para a silvicultura.

W3C Maps for HTML Community Group: MapML.js release v0.14.0: CSS and Pmtiles
sur Planet OSGeoScripting, Styling and Web Maps: Who’s On First? The Big ThreePart of the job of being a Web standard means that you have to follow the architecture of the web, which allocates specific jobs across the Big Three languages: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. For JavaScript, this ideally means supplying and enhancing site-specific semantics and user experience, and leaving accessibility and rendering up to the browser’s HTML infrastructure; for Cascading Style Sheets, it means supporting the HTML rendering engine through accessibility-enhancing styling instructions declared by the page according to the CSS language. For HTML, it means parsing the page and rendering HTML elements as accessible content, and providing a DOM API to allow access to the content by JavaScript manipulation to provide and enhance effective user experiences.
In the Maps for HTML universe, our goal is an update to Web standards that sees maps and location decomposed with accessibility as a precondition, into rendering, style and behaviour, and fit into the appropriate architectural domain, be that in HTML, CSS or JavaScript. There is no support today for maps or location in any of the Big Three languages. The consequence of this lack of platform support for web maps is their exclusive and massive allocation to the JavaScript domain. The societal implications of this misallocation are a subject for another post.
To date, we have articulated a mechanism to embed accessible and semantic web maps and locations into an HTML viewer widget, the <mapml-viewer> element. So far, the fit of this widget to the HTML media widget paradigm seems appropriate. For a refresher on how the viewer works, check out our Quick Start video.
The question that bears additional scrutiny and community involvement, and that which is the question of this post is: How can we better leverage CSS for styles of maps and location, while enhancing accessibility? Opaque (binary) media types HTML media like video and audio don’t have much relationship with CSS, whereas map rendering has a natural connection to text and graphics styling. It’s the natural connection of maps to web architecture that makes maps and location a good candidate for a web standard.
What You Can Do With CSS in MapML Today – Support by GeoServerThe main use of CSS in MapML is to style the tree of elements rooted at the <map-feature>. The <map-feature> element is a custom element that can be obtained in a fetched MapML-format XHTML document, or found inline in HTML proper, between the <layer-> … </layer-> layer tags. <map-feature> elements are parsed and their <map-geometry> elements rendered as a shadow-DOM embedded SVG <g> tag (group element), with different geometry values rendered within that group as <path>s within the parent <g>. Any class attributes on the <map-feature> are copied to the root <path> element, and class attributes on descendent geometry elements are copied to the <path> that they are rendered as. This allows us to apply CSS rules to <map-feature> as though its parts were actual SVG tags, so long as the rendered feature parts can be selected via their class, which is copied from the source <map-whatever> element. This can even be useful for making accessible interactive maps.
This technique is used by GeoServer for example, which transforms Style Layer Descriptor server styles into CSS stylesheets with selectors for generated class values from the server layers’ contents. In addition to allowing basic styling of points, lines and polygons, this facility enables GeoServer to dynamically generate and style MapML-encoded vector tiles. The perceived performance of tiled vector maps can be acceptable, especially when such tiles are created and cached for later access, and improvements can be expected with additional specification and software development effort. This is all pretty interesting because it is starting to show us a path to (better) integration between the native web platform languages like HTML and CSS on the one hand, and maps on the other.
Mapbox Vector Tiles and the pmtiles Archive Format“pmtiles” is the name of a modern, cloud-friendly map tile archive format that is gaining popularity among web mapping applications, because it allows websites to readily serve their own map vector tile data without necessarily hosting the whole world, which is cost- and time-prohibitive. The motivation behind pmtiles (a product of the Protomaps project) would seem to be compatible with our community’s goal of standardising maps for the web. In the words of its creator Brandon Liu, :
Maps are everywhere on the Internet. Think of any popular retail site, travel search or local government portal. The infrastructure of the web, from languages like JavaScript, front-end frameworks, and databases, is overwhelmingly free software. Maps are one of the few remaining choke points* of an otherwise open web.
* choke points aka control points
pmtiles efficiently manages potentially massive amounts of tiled vector data in a single archive file. The archive can be hosted in a variety of server environments, but the main criteria for success is that the host server is capable of http range requests. When a client needs a particular tile, it makes the request not using the zoom, row and column coordinates as URL parameters or path steps, but by transforming the tile’s coordinates to a pmtiles archive byte range, using the tile’s byte offset and length, calculated from the archive’s metadata which contains, among other information, the formula to perform the transformation.
Under the hood, a .pmtiles archive file is a clever application of Hilbert space filling curves to efficiently compress tiles in the Web Mercator projection, encoded in the Mapbox Vector Tiles or other format (mvt). Mvt is a kind of de facto standard among vector tile formats, of which there are many, too numerous to mention. The protomaps-leaflet library integrates support for both .pmtiles archives as well as raw .mvt tile responses served through a web server API, following the {z}/{x}/{y} URL (template) convention. Protomaps-leaflet styling of tiles is accomplished via “themes”, or “rules”. Rules encode canvas 2D API call parameters on a per-tile, per-layer basis, such that map feature styles are encoded as JavaScript objects and methods that are called back by the protomaps-leaflet tile rendering engine. A theme is a named collection of rules, e.g. “light” or “dark”.
The newly-renamed MapML.js release 0.14.0 supports pmtiles archives and .mvt format API services, including custom map styling, via a protomaps-leaflet integration, mainly through the templated <map-link> element. Projection support is currently limited to OSMTILE maps, because of the (hopefully short-term) restriction of protomaps-leaflet to the Web Mercator projection and powers of 2 tile pyramids. Custom styles can be created and included as a “stylesheet” module by means of an exported symbol named “pmtilesStyles”, containing a defined and required JavaScript object structure.
If you’re using GeoServer, or pmtiles / mvt support in MapML.js, or any open source component from our community in your maps, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you about your experience.
Call For CommunityA large measure of the payoff for the effort of building maps into HTML will be simple and decentralised access (i.e. no “choke points”) to the incredible rendering performance afforded by native code styling through CSS. What wouldn’t be possible in such a world? Accessible location navigation, animations, moving features, real time location updates, oh my! Worth mentioning: the CSS development community often sets an example of dynamic, open collaboration definitely worthy of emulating, if not wholly joining forces with.
In summary, let’s take the “special” out of spatial, and collectively imagine, design and implement a HTML+CSS engine capable of fully expressing and executing cartographic rules, for the future.

OGC Membership approves Common Query Language (CQL2) as an official OGC Standard
sur Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is excited to announce that the OGC Membership has approved Version 1.0 of the Common Query Language (CQL2) for adoption as an official OGC Standard.
Filtering is a fundamental operation performed on feature data to obtain a subset that contains the geospatial information a user needs. CQL2 is a filter grammar that can be used to specify how features can be filtered to obtain a subset. The Standard supports both text and JSON encodings so can be easily integrated into a variety of software applications.
CQL2 is a revision of the original Common Query Language. While the language design is consistent with the original version, many changes and additions to improve consistency and capabilities have been made. Existing implementations of CQL will need to be updated to process filter expressions specified by CQL2.
The OGC API – Features Standard currently uses CQL2, and other Standards that require the ability to filter data are likely to adopt it as well. Example files and JSON, YAML, and BNF schemas have been published on the OGC schemas repository to enable software developers to rapidly implement CQL2.
The original Common Query Language (CQL) was created as a text encoding for use in the OGC Catalogue Service Implementation Specification. CQL is based on the capabilities in the OGC Filter Encoding (FE) Standard, which was originally part of the Web Feature Service (WFS) Standard.
CQL2 is the outcome of the work and dedication of the OGC API – Features Standards Working Group, which led the development of the Standard, including:

- Submitters:
- Andrea Aime, GeoSolutions di Giannecchini Simone & C. s.a.s.
- Jeff Harrison, US Army Geospatial Center (AGC)
- Jérôme Jacovella-St-Louis, Ecere Corporation
As with any OGC Standard, CQL2 is free to download and implement. Interested parties can learn more on the OGC CQL2 Standard webpage.

Fernando Quadro: Porque usar o Geography no PostGIS?
sur Planet OSGeoVocê sabia que ao trabalhar com grandes volumes de dados no PostGIS pode te levar a medições imprecisas?
É verdade. Quando você armazena seus dados geoespaciais como Geometry, o PostGIS trata esses dados como um plano 2D, como se a Terra fosse uma “panqueca”.
Mas não se preocupe, existe solução para isso. Você pode armazenar seus dados com o tipo Geography no PostGIS ao invés de Geometry.
Isso irá dizer ao PostGIS para usar um sistema de coordenadas “arredondas”, proporcionando medições muito mais precisas.
Nesses casos o tipo Geography é a melhor opção, e traz como benefícios:
Dados armazenados em WGS84 (latitude/longitude) com medidas em metros
Funções nativas especiais feitas apenas para este tipo de dados
Perfeito para lidar com grandes regiõesSe você tem já sua base de dados armazenada em Geometry, não se preocupe, você pode transformar seus dados em tempo de execução para Geography e obter resultados mais precisos em suas medições.

Sean Gillies: August 22, 2018: Paris in a Day
sur Planet OSGeoSix years ago my family and I spent some time in France, passing through Lyon and Paris on the way back to Colorado. While Ruth stayed behind at a conference in Montpellier, Arabelle, Bea, and I did Paris in a day. We saw many bones, ate much gelato, hiked many stairs, rode many trains and buses, and enjoyed being together, seeing new places, and using our second language in one of the world's capitals. I cherish my memories of this day. I felt like I was killing the fun Francophile dad role and thoroughly enjoyed the company of my kids. I had a memorable time. We confirmed in June that Arabelle and Bea have strong, positive memories, as well.
I went to Instagram for the first time in years to dig up a photo taken on that day that I haven't published on my blog before.
A child in a blue top making a peace sign in front of the Eiffel Tower and waxing moon.
We didn't go back to the Trocadero in June, assuming that it was closed for Olympics construction, but we did go back to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. Both Arabelle and Bea have been cultivating Spanish as a third language since 2018 and had a chance to use it on our recent visit. We encountered a Spanish kid of Bea's age who had been separated from her parents and kept her company until we could reach her mom on the phone. She had no phone of her own, but had memorized key numbers.

Fernando Quadro: PostGIS e a Inteligência Artificial
sur Planet OSGeoNo atual cenário empresarial acelerado, aproveitar os dados de localização pode proporcionar uma vantagem competitiva significativa. Desde a otimização da logística e das rotas de entrega até à melhoria das experiências dos clientes através de serviços baseados em localização, a capacidade de extrair informações valiosas de dados geográficos é fundamental.
Como você já deve saber o PostGIS é uma extensão de código aberto amplamente utilizada que adiciona suporte para objetos geográficos, permitindo que consultas SQL espaciais sejam executadas dentro do sistema de gerenciamento de banco de dados PostgreSQL. O Postgres-AI, por outro lado, é uma extensão introduzida recentemente que traz recursos de aprendizado de máquina (ML) diretamente para o PostgreSQL, permitindo treinamento e inferência de modelos no banco de dados.
A integração do PostGIS e do Postgres-AI abre inúmeras possibilidades para inteligência de localização e análise de dados espaciais, incluindo:
Seleção de sites de varejo e análise de mercado
Logística e otimização da cadeia de suprimentos
Modelagem preditiva para serviços baseados em localização
Planejamento urbano e desenvolvimento de infraestrutura
Monitoramento ambiental e esforços de conservação
Marketing direcionado e segmentação de clientesAo aproveitar essas ferramentas poderosas, as organizações podem tomar decisões baseadas em dados, otimizar operações e aprimorar sua compreensão de padrões e relacionamentos geográficos, ao mesmo tempo em que aproveitam o poder do aprendizado de máquina.

TorchGeo: v0.6.0
sur Planet OSGeoTorchGeo 0.6.0 Release NotesTorchGeo 0.6 adds 18 new datasets, 15 new datamodules, and 27 new pre-trained models, encompassing 11 months of hard work by 23 contributors from around the world.
Highlights of this release Multimodal foundation models
There are thousands of Earth observation satellites orbiting the Earth at any given time. Historically, in order to use one of these satellites in a deep learning pipeline, you would first need to collect millions of manually-labeled images from this sensor in order to train a model. Self-supervised learning enabled label-free pre-training, but still required millions of diverse sensor-specific images, making it difficult to use newly launched or expensive commercial satellites.
TorchGeo 0.6 adds multiple new multimodal foundation models capable of being used with imagery from any satellite/sensor, even ones the model was not explicitly trained on. While GASSL and Scale-MAE only support RGB images, DOFA supports RGB, SAR, MSI, and HSI with any number of spectral bands. It uses a novel wavelength-based encoder to map the spectral wavelength of each band to a known range of wavelengths seen during training.
The following table describes the dynamic spatial (resolution), temporal (time span), and/or spectral (wavelength) support, either via their training data (implicit) or via their model architecture (explicit), offered by each of these models:
Model Spatial Temporal Spectral DOFA implicit - explicit GASSL implicit - - Scale-MAE explicit - - TorchGeo 0.6 also adds multiple new unimodal foundation models, including DeCUR and SatlasPretrain.
Source Cooperative migration
TorchGeo contains a number of datasets from the recently defunct Radiant MLHub:
- AgriFieldNet Competition Dataset
- Smallholder Cashew Plantations in Benin
- Sentinel-2 Cloud Cover Segmentation Dataset
- CV4A Kenya Crop Type Competition
- Tropical Cyclone Wind Estimation Competition
- Marine Debris Dataset for Object Detection in Planetscope Imagery
- Rwanda Field Boundary Competition Dataset
- South Africa Crop Type Competition
- SpaceNet Datasets
- Western USA Live Fuel Moisture
These datasets were recently migrated to Source Cooperative (and AWS in the case of SpaceNet), but with a completely different file format and directory structure. It took a lot of effort, but we have finally ported all of these datasets to the new download location and file hierarchy. As an added bonus, the new data loader code is significantly simpler, allowing us to remove 2.5K lines of code in the process!
OSGeo community project
TorchGeo is now officially a member of the OSGeo community! OSGeo is a not-for-profit foundation for open source geospatial software, providing financial, organizational, and legal support. We are in good company, with other OSGeo projects including GDAL, PROJ, GEOS, QGIS, and PostGIS. Membership in OSGeo promotes advertising of TorchGeo to the community, and also ensures that we follow best practices for the stability, health, and interoperability of the open source geospatial ecosystem.

Lightning Studios support
TorchGeo has always had a close collaboration with Lightning AI, including active contributions to PyTorch Lightning and TorchMetrics. In this release, we added buttons allowing users to launch our tutorial notebooks in the new Lightning Studios platform. Lightning Studios is a more powerful version of Google Colab, with reproducible software and data environments allowing you to pick up where you left off, VS Code and terminal support, and the ability to quickly scale up to a large number of GPUs. All TorchGeo tutorials have been confirmed to work in both Lightning Studios and Google Colab, allowing users to get started with TorchGeo without having to invest in their own hardware.

Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings: Building spatial analysis assistants using OpenAI’s Assistant API
sur Planet OSGeoEarlier this year, I shared my experience using ChatGPT’s Data Analyst web interface for analyzing spatiotemporal data in the post “ChatGPT Data Analyst vs. Movement Data”. The Data Analyst web interface, while user-friendly, is not equipped to handle all types of spatial data tasks, particularly those involving more complex or large-scale datasets. Additionally, because the code is executed on a remote server, we’re limited to the libraries and tools available in that environment. I’ve often encountered situations where the Data Analyst simply doesn’t have access to the necessary libraries in its Python environment, which can be frustrating if you need specific GIS functionality.
Today, we’ll therefore start to explore alternatives to ChatGPT’s Data Analyst Web Interface, specifically, the OpenAI Assistant API. Later, I plan to dive deeper into even more flexible approaches, like Langchain’s Pandas DataFrame Agents. We’ll explore these options using spatial analysis workflow, such as:
- Loading a zipped shapefile and investigate its content
- Finding the three largest cities in the dataset
- Selecting all cities in a region, e.g. in Scandinavia from the dataset
- Creating static and interactive maps
To try the code below, you’ll need an OpenAI account with a few dollars on it. While gpt-3.5-turbo is quite cheap, using gpt-4o with the Assistant API can get costly fast.
OpenAI Assistant APIThe OpenAI Assistant API allows us to create a custom data analysis environment where we can interact with our spatial datasets programmatically. To write the following code, I used the assistant quickstart and related docs (yes, shockingly, ChatGPT wasn’t very helpful for writing this code).
Like with Data Analyst, we need to upload the zipped shapefile to the server to make it available to the assistant. Then we can proceed to ask it questions and task it to perform analytics and create maps.
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI() file = client.files.create( file=open("H:/ne_110m_populated_places_simple.zip", "rb"), purpose='assistants' )Then we can hand the file over to the assistant:
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create( name="GIS Analyst", instructions="You are a personal GIS data analyst. Write and rund code to answer geospatial analysis questions", tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}], model="gpt-3.5-turbo", # or "gpt-4o" tool_resources={ "code_interpreter": { "file_ids": [file.id] } } )Then we can start asking questions and giving our assistant tasks:
thread = client.beta.threads.create() message = client.beta.threads.messages.create( thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content="Please load the zipped shapefile and describe the content" )
assistant > The shapefile has been successfully loaded as a GeoDataFrame with the following details: - The GeoDataFrame has 243 entries. - It contains a total of 38 columns with various data types including integer, float, and object types. - One of the columns is a geometry column representing the spatial information. If you have any specific analysis or visualizations you would like to perform on this data, feel free to let me know!The docs have a nice example for how to stream the answers back, e.g. into a Jupyter notebook. I’ve used it to create a small convenience function:
def ask_another_question(question): message = client.beta.threads.messages.create( thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content=question ) with client.beta.threads.runs.stream( thread_id=thread.id, assistant_id=assistant.id, event_handler=EventHandler(), ) as stream: stream.until_done() ask_another_question("Please list the three largest cities")assistant > code_interpreter # Sort the GeoDataFrame by the population in descending order largest_cities = gdf.sort_values(by='pop_max', ascending=False).head(3)[['name', 'pop_max']] largest_cities assistant > The three largest cities in the dataset, along with their maximum population numbers, are as follows: 1. Tokyo: 35,676,000 2. New York: 19,040,000 3. Mexico City: 19,028,000 These cities have the highest recorded maximum population numbers in the dataset. Let me know if you need any further information or analysis!ask_another_question("extract all scandinavian cities ")assistant > To extract all the Scandinavian cities from the dataset, we can filter the GeoDataFrame based on the countries typically considered part of Scandinavia. These countries include Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and sometimes Iceland. Let's filter the GeoDataFrame to extract the Scandinavian cities. assistant > code_interpreter # List of countries typically considered part of Scandinavia scandinavian_countries = ['Norway', 'Sweden', 'Denmark', 'Finland', 'Iceland'] # Filter the GeoDataFrame for Scandinavian cities scandinavian_cities = gdf[gdf['adm0name'].isin(scandinavian_countries)][['name', 'adm0name']] scandinavian_cities.head() # Displaying the first few Scandinavian cities assistant > Here are some of the Scandinavian cities extracted from the dataset: 1. Reykjavík, Iceland 2. Oslo, Norway 3. Helsinki, Finland 4. København (Copenhagen), Denmark 5. Stockholm, Sweden These are just a few examples of Scandinavian cities present in the dataset. If you would like the complete list or perform any specific analysis on these cities, feel free to let me know!ask_another_question( "please create a world map with all cities (use gray circles) " "with scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles. " )assistant > To create a world map with all cities represented as gray circles and Scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles, we will use the GeoPandas library for mapping. Let's go ahead and create the map. assistant > code_interpreter import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Plot all cities with gray circles and Scandinavian cities with red circles fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8)) # Plot all cities in gray circles gdf.plot(ax=ax, color='lightgrey', markersize=5) # Plot Scandinavian cities in red circles scandinavian_cities.plot(ax=ax, color='red', markersize=50, edgecolor='black', label='Scandinavian Cities') # Set the title ax.set_title('World Map with Scandinavian Cities Highlighted', fontsize=16) # Add legend ax.legend() # Display the map plt.show() assistant > It seems that there was an error while plotting the map because the GeoDataFrame `scandinavian_cities` does not have the necessary numeric data to plot the map directly. ... plt.show() output > assistant > Here is the world map with all cities represented as gray circles and Scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles. The map provides a visual representation of the locations of the Scandinavian cities in relation to the rest of the cities around the world. If you need any further assistance or modifications, feel free to let me know!To load and show the image, we can use:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.image as mpimg def show_image(): messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id) for m in messages.data: if m.role == "user": continue if m.content[0].type == 'image_file': m.content[0].image_file.file_id image_data = client.files.content(messages.data[0].content[0].image_file.file_id) image_data_bytes = image_data.read() with open("./out/my-image.png", "wb") as file: file.write(image_data_bytes) image = mpimg.imread("./out/my-image.png") plt.imshow(image) plt.box(False) plt.xticks([]) plt.yticks([]) plt.show() break
Asking for an interactive map in an html file works in a similar fashion.
You can see the whole analysis workflow it in action here:
This way, we can use ChatGPT to perform data analysis from the comfort of our Jupyter notebooks. However, it’s important to note that, like the Data Analyst, the code we execute with the Assistant API runs on a remote server. So, again, we are restricted to the libraries available in that server environment. This is an issue we will address next time, when we look into Langchain.
ConclusionChatGPT’s Data Analyst Web Interface and the OpenAI Assistant API both come with their own advantages and disadvantages.
The results can be quite random. In the Scandinavia example, every run can produce slightly different results. Sometimes the results just use different assumptions such as, e.g. Finland and Iceland being part of Scandinavia or not, other times, they can be outright wrong.
As always, I’m interested to hear your experiences and thoughts. Have you been testing the LLM plugins for QGIS when they originally came out?

XYCarto: Cartographic Aotearoa
sur Planet OSGeoI try hard to keep this blog about basic open source processing in GIS. I don’t spend much time talking about my cartographic work, since I like put it up in the gallery and try to let it speak for itself. Further, 90% of my cartographic products involve processing data before it ever gets to visualization, therefore, I see more value in demonstrating the basic processing and hopefully inspire folks to do their own thing once their data is in place.
If you might indulge me; however, I’d love to toot my own horn as they say and do a write up on my acceptance to the Atlas of Design this year and the honor to do a brief interview with Radio New Zealand (RNZ) about the map.
I know it is a bit cheeky to put up recognition of one’s own work, but this map was the culmination of several years of iterations, heaps of footwork getting it known, and a number of rejections along the way. I’m just so excited to finally get it out there to a wider audience.
Since this is primarily an open source blog about GIS, and that several have asked me about my tech stack I’ll share a portion of it here. If you want to get a feel of some of my blending techniques, you can see some past blogs where I wrote this up.
As I mentioned above, that vast majority of my cartography is in data prep and making data easier to work in visualization projects. I have a fairly simple tech stack for data prep.
- QGIS – Base map layout. My method is most often to develop the base image here, but do all the post processing for legends, supporting text, graphics, etc in specialized layout software. QGIS is amazing at handling large file types, blending, and making repeatable color palettes. Doing work at a national and world scale is often without issue.
- GDAL – Most used in the stack for prepping large scale raster data. Used more than anything else in GDAL for my vis work is gdalwarp, gdal_translate, gdaladdo, gdalbuildvrt, and gdaldem [hillshade, slope]. These are often used in bash scripts to repeat processes allowing me to easily develop multiple resolutions, scales, and resamples.
- GeoPandas – Used for vectors and primarily for my cleaning to get lighter GPKG files, automating redundant processes like clips, simplification, and table manipulation. It is an amazing tool I use a lot in development too.
- Python/Bash – Used for controlling all the automation and processing. Depending on the complexity of the task at hand, I will bounce between the two. Bash is really great at multi-core processing and can save enormous amounts of time in redundant processes.
- Colorhexa /Gpick – Palette development. Gpick is incredibly helpful in sampling imagery to find a color value you like. You can bring these values into Colorhexa and start to develop gradients and divergent values all the while keeping within your tone. There are many other sites that will help you do this, I just happen to enjoy this one.
- Docker – An unlikely item in a cartographic stack, but Docker has proved invaluable to me by allowing me to run multiple versions of QGIS and GDAL without wrecking my machine. I have a basic QGIS/Docker example here.
For those out there who have supported me on this journey and even those who lurk in the shadows, I cannot thank you enough for reading, liking, and sending me messages letting me know you are out there and find some of this useful. It helps more than you know and motivates me to continue to move forward. Also, tell all your friends!

QGIS Blog: Reports from the winning grant proposals 2023
sur Planet OSGeoWith the QGIS Grant Programme 2023, we were able to support six proposals (four in the first round and two in the second round) that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the first four proposals:
- QGIS Bug Tracker cleanup (#266) – Report
We have identified and closed ~291 tickets, among them:- 162 bugreports and feature requests which were already fixed or implemented
- 29 bugreports and feature requests which are invalid (data issues, wrong use of functionality, etc)
- 57 duplicate bugreports and feature requests
- 5 won’t fix bugreports
- 5 bugreports were converted to feature requests
- 33 tickets were closed (does not contain steps to reproduce, test data and no feedback was provided within several month)
- Additionally we ensured that all tickets has correct tags assigned to to make them easier to find.
- Porting to C++ and harmonization of Processing algorithms (#271) – Report
The QGIS Porting to C++ and Harmonisation of Processing Algorithms grant is now complete.- Existing Processing algorithms Voronoi Polygons and Delaunay Triangulation have been ported to C++ and now use GEOS instead of the unmaintained Python module.
- Two algorithms for generating XYZ tiles (directory and MBTiles variants) have been ported to C++ using a safer and cleaner multi-threading approach.
- The Align Rasters tool, which was not exposed to Processing, has been removed and a new Processing algorithm with the same functionality has been added.
- The existing Raster Calculator algorithm has been ported to C++. The algorithm now has two variants: a toolbox version that works the same way as before, and a modeler version that uses the same approach to input naming as the GDAL raster calculator.
- Add vertical CRS handling to QGIS (#267) – Report
- As of QGIS 3.34, QGIS can now create and handle vertical and compound CRSes.
- In QGIS 3.34 coordinate transforms were reworked so that they function correctly with vertical transformation, if both the source and destination CRS have vertical components.
- In QGIS 3.36 the coordinate reference selection widgets were updated to offer choices of 2d only, compound, or vertical only CRSes.
- In version 3.38, we introduced a new setting for QGIS projects, for their vertical reference system. Users can control this through project properties, and it’s accessible via PyQGIS and via associated expression variables (eg @project_vertical_crs) for use in print layouts.
- Similarly, in 3.38 we introduced the API support for map layers to have a vertical CRS. (This was not exposed to users in 3.38 though)
- In QGIS 3.40 so far we have exposed the vertical CRS setting for vector layers to users (via the layer properties dialog), allowing users to specify the associated vertical CRS for these layers. The vertical CRS is respected in elevation profile plots, in Identify tool results, and in 3D Map views (assuming the 3D map is created with an associated vertical CRS).
- There is an open pull-request for 3.40 to expose the vertical CRS for point cloud layers in a similar way, with the vertical CRS being respected in elevation profiles, identify tool results, and 3D map views
- We have open pull requests for 3.40 to show layer vertical CRS information in the layer properties “information” pages, and add expression variables at the layer scope (eg @layer_vertical_crs).
- Improve test result handling on QGIS CI (#268) – Report
Any tests which fail a rendering comparison will write a descriptive comment to the PR. The comment details which render tests failed, where they are in the code, and includes some helpful pointers to downloading the full test report and the QGIS developer documentation. We also implemented lots of improvements in running the tests locally and how the render test reports are generated and presented to developers.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

Mapping Train Connections
sur Google Maps ManiaFor ecological reasons I haven't taken a flight in over 30 years. Consequently I have probably spent many, many hours traveling across Europe by train. One of my retirement plans is to spend winters in Southern Italy. I have begun therefore to research how best to travel by train to southern Italy.According to TrainConnections the best plan is probably to break the journey into two - to take one

Sean Gillies: Bear scratch
sur Planet OSGeoI just emailed the Bear 100 race director, Cody Draper, and said that I'm injured and won't recover in time to start in 6 weeks. I'm also too injured to do Black Squirrel in 3 weeks and will be emailing Nick and Brad next.
What's the injury? When I came home from vacation and started to ramp up my running, my right Achilles tendon became sore and very inflamed. On July 17 I went out for a 30 mile run and had to bail at mile 20. I took some time off from trail running and have been chugging on an elliptical trainer at my gym. Yesterday I tried some running on the bike path behind my house and couldn't even go a mile without excruciating pain. I'm calling it, my season is over. The last time I had serious Achilles tendonitis like this was at the end of my ultimate frisbee career 20 years ago. It took 4 months before I could run without pain. I'm going to keep going to the gym, ice and rest, see some specialists, and get ready for 2025.

KAN T&IT Blog: Innovación y Colaboración en FOSS4G Europe 2024
sur Planet OSGeo¿Te apasionan las tecnologías geoespaciales de código abierto? Si es así, FOSS4G Europe 2024 en Tartu, Estonia, fue el evento que no debiste perderte.
¿Alguna vez te has preguntado cómo el software de código abierto está revolucionando el mundo de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG)? FOSS4G Europe 2024 reunió a expertos y entusiastas de todo el mundo para explorar esta pregunta y mucho más.
Durante siete días, del 1 al 7 de julio, Tartu se convirtió en el epicentro de la innovación geoespacial. En esta ocasión, nuestro CEO, Ariel Anthieni y nuestro Sales Engineer, Adrián Yoris, tuvieron la oportunidad de participar de este evento.La conferencia ofreció una serie de talleres interactivos, presentaciones de vanguardia y sesiones plenarias con ponentes de renombre. Uno de los momentos destacados fue la presentación sobre la implementación de SIG de código abierto en proyectos comunitarios, donde se discutió cómo estas herramientas están transformando la gestión de recursos naturales en regiones rurales.
Un ejemplo notable fue el estudio de caso de una comunidad en Estonia que utilizó software SIG de código abierto para mejorar la gestión de sus bosques, resultando en una optimización del 20% en la recolección de datos y una mejor conservación ambiental. Esta historia ejemplifica cómo la tecnología puede ser una fuerza para el bien común.
Además, Ariel fue invitado a participar en el panel “Changing the mindset of ‘Open Source is just for those who can’t afford to pay licenses’”, junto a otros expertos como Codrina Ilie de Terrasigna y Matthias Kuhn de OPENGIS.ch, para compartir su experiencia como CEO de Kan Territory & IT, y comentar sobre cómo las soluciones basadas en código abierto pueden transformar sectores públicos y privados, ofreciendo innovación personalizada e integración eficiente de tecnologías geoespaciales.
FOSS4G Europe 2024 no solo fue un evento educativo, sino también una celebración de la colaboración y la innovación en el ámbito de los SIG. Si te lo perdiste, no olvides seguir las actualizaciones y prepararte para la edición internacional que se realizará en Belém, Brasil. Comparte tus experiencias y pensamientos en los comentarios, y sigue explorando más sobre el fascinante mundo de las tecnologías geoespaciales de código abierto.
