Exactly. It is a huge effort. Thanks for pointing it out @cbkeller.


This is not true. Please read the book.


Scanning the site see mostly points algorithms, the only mention of polygons is a textbook LibGEOS call, I see no network at all. And I see no smart manipulation of anything else than points, I see no subdivision of space, etc.


You probably need to re-scan the book. Meshes.jl is the submodule of the project entirely written in Julia with geometric processing algorithms.


I have worked with it. It was just stating, very little useful code in it. Going back to the source code, I see they added a bit more. A quick look around suggest that only one algorithm uses an indexing structure. Clipping seems limited between a convex polygon and a concave one.


The book is quite interesting, but it does seem like a lot of the underlying work is farmed out to GeoStats.jl, which doesn't really seem to use the same vocabulary I'd expect in other languages using PostGIS or Geopandas etc. For example, I don't see many mentions of Polygons or MultiPolygons when I search. However, I do find this page[1] which seems to define similar(?) equivalents. Can I expect equivalent geospatial joins/queries to be available? I don't see many mentions of the types that I would normally do, especially overlay operations[2].

Please read the book. It has all the information in it.


Geospatial Data Science with Julia presents a fresh approach to data science with geospatial data and the Julia programming language. It contains best practices for writing clean, readable and performant code in geoscientific applications involving sophisticated representations of the (sub)surface of the Earth such as unstructured meshes made of 2D and 3D geometries.


Are you a bot? Why did you copy and paste the top paragraph of the linked page?


Seems to be the author and copied it as some form of abstract. @juliohm no need to be doing that.
