networkx
Notebooks at the interface of GIS and Networks
We have a lot of users of NetworkX, who use networks in the field of geographical information systems. We already have some examples in our gallery.
It would be nice to get some new material showing the use cases of networkx with GIS tools.
This is an open call! Feel free to propose a notebook :)
Hey @MridulS, I am currently creating a notebook which would explain all the examples on the gallery section. I have included the working of the various algorithms like Delaunay Triangulation, KNN-3 etc. along with examples of the methods used. I have used about 3-4 different examples of each method based on the various parameters.
What more can I add to it? Would appreciate any suggestions.
Hey @inomag, super! But before working on them could you please open an issue or a discussion about the exact algorithms you are planning on working on? You can also look at https://networkx.org/nx-guides/ regarding general expectations about how the notebook should be designed and its contents.
I am currently creating a notebook which would explain all the examples on the gallery section.
At some point there was discussion about moving the GIS examples out of the gallery entirely and into a notebook - agreed that we should discuss what the best course of action is here.
@rossbar @MridulS Thanks for the input! These are not necessarily algorithms but the Geospatial examples mentioned in the Gallery section.
- Delaunay graphs from geographic points
- OpenStreetMap with OSMnx
- Graphs from geographic points
- Graphs from Polygons
Earlier, I was planning on creating a single notebook which would thoroughly explain the methods and the different parameters used in each example. But, now I assume it would be better to move the entire Geospatial Examples under a new section in NX-Guides with each topics under a new subsection.
That way, I could include more details such as algorithm behind the methods, formulas, properties, etc.
@MridulS I used four-colour map with an Indian map as an example of the application of colouring algorithms in #80. Is this the kind of example you are looking for?
