Open Source Python Mapping Software for Linux

GeographicLib is a small C++ library for: geodesic and rhumb line calculations; conversions between geographic, UTM, UPS, MGRS, geocentric, and local cartesian coordinates; gravity (e.g., EGM2008) and geomagnetic field (e.g., WMM2020) calculations.

To use precompiled wheels: 1) go to releases (Files) and download tarball needed; 2) install it with command: python3 -m pip install /path/to/wheel.whl Or simply use URL in pip: python3 -m pip install https://sourceforge.net/projects/gdal-wheels-for-linux/files/GDAL-3.1.4-cp37-cp37m-manylinux_2_5_x86_64.manylinux1_x86_64.whl/download URL may be found under "View details" button (i) To use GDAL in C/C++ project you need to link gdal lib AND all libs located at dir GDAL.libs (usually this folder resides inside python site-packages) To compile your own wheels see information given at forefather project: https://github.com/youngpm/gdalmanylinux Usually this is done via command `make wheels` GDAL wheels for Windows are provided by Christoph Gohlke at https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#gdal Built with PROJ (proj.db is included), GEOS, EXPAT. See Dockerfile.wheels for additional components.

ZMapServer is a Zope Product that provides a clean interface to the MapServer (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu) web mapping application.

The Geocanvas project aims to provide a very small and simple set of APIs to assist the developer in creating geographically referenced canvas applications within the GTK/Gnome environment.

PAGC is a command line and web service C library for performing postal address geocoding. A postal address geocoder takes a sufficiently detailed postal addresses and produces a digital map that displays the spatial location of those addresses.

This is the worlds first and probably only FLOSS project aimed to create a lowbudget, based on availble technology, cruise missile. No this is not a Joke, its for real. Why? Since no one has tried to do this before and certainly not under the GPL.

GrassView is a wxPython GUI for GRASS, the GNU Geographical Information System.

GeoSciPy is a set of C and Python functions that provide an API for all aspects of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Applications. Functions include reading/writing of many data formats, images, vectors, ..., and processing of images, vectors, ... including map projections, ... The library is written C, using HDF5 as the file format for storage of all remotely-sensed data and ancillary data, as well as processed data. The C functions assume a particular format for the HDF5 file contents, and provide functions for reading and writing data to such files. There is also a Python API that provides a procedural as well as an object-oriented interface to these functions. A Python GUI for interacting with such datasets is also part of the project. While there are other open-source GIS, and image-processing packages available, this one is designed to be comprehensive, work on 3 major platforms, user-extensible, fast, and able to handle huge datasets.
