Use geopandas to synthesize your geospatial analysis skills by working through a mini-project that involves gridding, aggregating, and visualizing spatial data. You will use a GeoDataFrame of point data with a geometry column of Points.
- In the
create_gridfunction, generate a uniform grid of square polygons covering all points, and spatially join each point to its grid cell usinggeopandas. - In the
aggregate_in_gridfunction, count the number of points in each grid cell using geospatial groupings. - In the
plot_gridfunction, create a plot showing the grid cells, colored by the aggregated counts, usinggeopandasandmatplotlib.
Note: This task requires the following Python packages to be installed: geopandas, shapely, matplotlib, and numpy. Please ensure these libraries are available in your environment before running or testing the code.
If you get an ImportError, install the packages using pip:
- pip install geopandas shapely matplotlib numpy
