Description: 
        Karta - tidy Python package for geospatial computation
        ======================================================
        
        *Karta* is a Leatherman for geographic analyses. *Karta* provides an
        lightweight interface for solving problems in Python/Python3. It
        presents a simple and clean vector and raster data types, a small
        selection of geographical analysis functions, and the ability to read
        and write several useful formats.
        
        Goals of *Karta* include exposing a simple and fast framework for
        spatial analysis. *Karta* is under development and suggestions and pull
        requests are welcome, particularly to improve format support and test
        coverage.
        
        DOCUMENTATION
        -------------
        
        API documentation can be built by running ``make`` from the ``doc/``
        directory. The beginnings of a tutorial to introduce *Karta* are in the
        `Wiki <https://github.com/njwilson23/karta/wiki/Tutorial>`__.
        
        CONTENTS AT A GLANCE

        -  vector
        
           -  guppy: Vector geometry classes (e.g. ``Point``, ``Multipoint``,
              ``Line``, ``Polygon``) supporting the `Python
              \_\_geo\_interface\_\_ <https://gist.github.com/sgillies/2217756>`__

        FORMATS
        -------
        
        *Karta* provides a basic working interface to several of common file
        formats. Currently partially-supported are:
        
        -  vector
        
           -  GeoJSON (r,w)
           -  ESRI Shapefiles via pyshp (r,w)
           -  GPS eXchange (GPX) (r,w)
           -  ASCII tables (XYZ) (r,w)
        
        -  raster
        
           -  ESRI ASCII Grid (r,w)
           -  GeoTiff through GDAL (r)
           -  USGS DEM (WIP)
        
        INSTALLATION
        ------------
        
        The easiest way to install is to use ``pip``.
        
        To install the latest release from PyPI, run
        
        ::
        
            pip install karta
        
        To build from source,
        
        ::
        
            git clone https://github.com/njwilson23/karta.git
            pip install -r karta/requirements.txt
            pip install karta/
        
        DEPENDENCIES
        ------------
        
        Required
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        -  Python 2.7+ or Python 3.2+
        -  numpy
        -  pyshp
        -  pyproj (for geodetic calculations)
        
        Optional
        ~~~~~~~~
        
        -  cython
        -  gdal (for geotiff I/O)
        -  scipy
        
        Cython is an optional dependency used to speed up select functions. In
        general, enhanced-performance functions will then be called
        automatically when available, otherwise *Karta* will fall back to numpy
        and pure-Python versions.
        
        When installing from PyPI, C source code is provided and will be
        automatically compiled if a suitable compiler is available.
