GeoDataFrame support and unittesting
This update includes a geodataframe output. The format and syntax are the same; you set the output parameter equal to one of 3 values:
- 'geodateframe'
- 'geoframe'
- 'gpd'
Here is the syntax:
events = gd.Search(['2017 May 23','2017 May 25'],table='events',output='gpd',normcols=True,coverage=True)
And the major difference is the above code adds a geometry
column. That means, it's possible to perform geosptial operations on this data (merge with shapefiles or other georeferenced data).
- Enhancements
- Removed date_parse sniffer from the dataframe read to speed up ingest/converstion
normcols
parameter lets you normalize the columns for ingest into a sql database
