Use a Geo-data library
So far we run our own implementation of a Grid
dataset (based on numpy
arrays). However, we will need diverse other geodata types like points, irregular grids, ...
We should check for libraries that provide the data types/structures we will likely require.
We can start a list of potential libraries here (feel free to edit the issue description for that sake)
- GDAL (very uncomfortable to set up)
- PyVista
- RasterIO (uses GDAL under the hood)
- rioxarray
- geopandas (only vector data)
