1 使用 Python 进行地理空间开发#

1 Geospatial Development Using Python

本章提供了 Python 编程语言和地理空间开发的概述。请注意,这不是一本关于如何使用 Python 语言的教程;Python 很容易学习,但详细内容超出了本书的范围。

在本章中,我们将涵盖以下内容:

  • Python 编程语言是什么,它与其他语言有何不同

  • Python 标准库和 Python 包索引的介绍

  • “地理空间数据” 和 “地理空间开发” 这两个术语的含义

  • 访问、操作和展示地理空间数据的过程概述

  • 地理空间开发的一些主要应用

  • 地理空间开发领域的一些最新趋势

This chapter provides an overview of the Python programming language and geospatial development. Please note that this is not a tutorial on how to use the Python language; Python is easy to learn, but the details are beyond the scope of this book.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • What the Python programming language is, and how it differs from other languages

  • An introduction to the Python Standard Library and the Python Package Index

  • What the terms “geospatial data” and “geospatial development” refer to

  • An overview of the process of accessing, manipulating, and displaying geospatial data

  • Some of the major applications for geospatial development

  • Some of the recent trends in the field of geospatial development
