A python package to visualize and analyze geographical datasets.

EOmaps aims to provide a comprehensive, flexible, well-documented and easy-to-use API to create publication-ready maps that can directly be used for interactive data analysis.

What can I do with EOmaps?

EOmaps is built on top of matplotlib and cartopy and integrates well with the scientific python infrastructure (e.g., numpy, pandas, geopandas, xarray etc.), allowing you to visualize point-, raster- or vector-datasets provided in almost any format you can imagine, no matter if you're dealing with just a few unsorted datapoints or multi-dimensional stacks of global high-resolution datasets.

Figures created with EOmaps are multi-layered, so you can (transparently) overlay and interactively compare your datasets with ease. With the accompanying GUI widget, you can quickly switch layers, change the layout, examine the large collection of features and web-map services, and explore the capabilities of EOmaps. Once you're map is ready, you can export it as high-resolution image or vector-graphic for further editing. Leveraging the powers of matplotlib, you can also embed interactive maps in Jupyter Notebooks, on a webpage or in GUI frameworks like Qt, tkinter etc..

Important

EOmaps is 100% free and open-source.
As such, acknowledgement is extremely important to allow continued support and development of the package.
