Plotting a masked Antarctica with a shapefile or geopandas - python

I'm trying to plot data around the Antarctica while masking the continent. While I'm using basemap and it has an option to easily mask continents using map.fillcontinents(), the continent considered by basemap includes the ice shelves, which I do not want to mask.
I tried using geopandas from a code I found on the Internet. This works, except the coastline produces an undesired line in what I assume is the beginning/end of the polygon for the Antarctica:
import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
import geopandas as gpd
import shapely
from descartes import PolygonPatch
lats = np.arange(-90,-59,1)
lons = np.arange(0,361,1)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(lons, lats)
data = np.random.rand(len(lats),len(lons))
world = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
fig=plt.figure(dpi=150)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
m = Basemap(projection='spstere',boundinglat=-60,lon_0=180,resolution='i',round=True)
xi, yi = m(X,Y)
cf = m.contourf(xi,yi,data)
patches = []
selection = world[world.name == 'Antarctica']
for poly in selection.geometry:
if poly.geom_type == 'Polygon':
mpoly = shapely.ops.transform(m, poly)
patches.append(PolygonPatch(mpoly))
elif poly.geom_type == 'MultiPolygon':
for subpoly in poly:
mpoly = shapely.ops.transform(m, poly)
patches.append(PolygonPatch(mpoly))
else:
print(poly, 'blah')
ax.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches, match_original=True,color='w',edgecolor='k'))
The same line appears when I try to use other shapefiles, such as the land one that is available to download for free from Natural Earth Data. So I edited this shapefile in QGIS to remove the borders of the Antarctica. The problem now is that I don't know how to mask everything that's inside the shapefile (and couldn't find how to do it either). I also tried combining the previous code with geopandas by setting the linewidth=0, and adding on top the shapefile I created. The problem is that they are not exactly the same:
Any suggestion on how to mask using a shapefile, or with geopandas but without the line?
Edit: Using Thomas Khün's previous answer with my edited shapefile produces a well masked Antarctica/continents, but the coastline goes outside the round edges of the map:
I uploaded here the edited shapefile I used, but it's the Natural Earth Data 50m land shapefile without the line.

Here an example of how to achieve what you want. I basically followed the Basemap example how to deal with shapefiles and added a bit of shapely magic to restrict the outlines to the map boundaries. Note that I first tried to extract the map outline from ax.patches, but that somehow didn't work, so I defined a circle which has a radius of boundinglat and transformed it using the Basemap coordinate transformation functionality.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
import shapely
from shapely.geometry import Polygon as sPolygon
boundinglat = -40
lats = np.arange(-90,boundinglat+1,1)
lons = np.arange(0,361,1)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(lons, lats)
data = np.random.rand(len(lats),len(lons))
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, dpi=150)
m = Basemap(
ax = ax,
projection='spstere',boundinglat=boundinglat,lon_0=180,
resolution='i',round=True
)
xi, yi = m(X,Y)
cf = m.contourf(xi,yi,data)
#adjust the path to the shapefile here:
result = m.readshapefile(
'shapefiles/AntarcticaWGS84_contorno', 'antarctica',
zorder = 10, color = 'k', drawbounds = False)
#defining the outline of the map as shapely Polygon:
rim = [np.linspace(0,360,100),np.ones(100)*boundinglat,]
outline = sPolygon(np.asarray(m(rim[0],rim[1])).T)
#following Basemap tutorial for shapefiles
patches = []
for info, shape in zip(m.antarctica_info, m.antarctica):
#instead of a matplotlib Polygon, create first a shapely Polygon
poly = sPolygon(shape)
#check if the Polygon, or parts of it are inside the map:
if poly.intersects(outline):
#if yes, cut and insert
intersect = poly.intersection(outline)
verts = np.array(intersect.exterior.coords.xy)
patches.append(Polygon(verts.T, True))
ax.add_collection(PatchCollection(
patches, facecolor= 'w', edgecolor='k', linewidths=1., zorder=2
))
plt.show()
The result looks like this:
Hope this helps.

For anyone still trying to figure out a simple way to mask a grid from a shapefile, here is a gallery example from the python package Antarctic-Plots which makes this simple.
from antarctic_plots import maps, fetch, utils
import pyogrio
# fetch a grid and shapefile
grid = fetch.bedmachine(layer='surface')
shape = fetch.groundingline()
# subset the grounding line from the coastline
gdf = pyogrio.read_dataframe(shape)
groundingline = gdf[gdf.Id_text == "Grounded ice or land"]
# plot the grid
fig = maps.plot_grd(grid)
# plot the shapefile
fig.plot(groundingline, pen='1p,red')
fig.show()
# mask the inside region
masked_inside = utils.mask_from_shp(
shapefile=groundingline, xr_grid=grid, masked=True)
masked_inside.plot()
# mask the outside region
masked_outside = utils.mask_from_shp(
shapefile=groundingline, xr_grid=grid, masked=True, invert=False)
masked_outside.plot()

Why is GeoPandas overlay intersection empty between LINESTRING and MULTIPOLYGON geometries?

I want to split British Columbia's road network by health regions. Specifically, for each health region I want to save a shape file of the roads within that region. The roads have a LINESTRING geometry while the health regions have a MULTIPOLYGON geometry.
I thought that the geopandas overlay with how=intersection might help me do this, but it telling me that the intersection is empty. That doesn't make sense in light of the fact that plotting (not shown) the roads and the health authorities together shows clear overlap, so I suspect I have misunderstood how geopandas handles intersection of different geometries.
Here is some minimum code, although it won't run unless you happen to locally have these files stored.
import geopandas as gpd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
health_regions_df = gpd.read_file(
'../data/canada.geojson'
)
bc_roads_df = gpd.read_file(
'../data/geobase_nrn_rrn/bc/nrn_rrn_bc_shp_en.zip',
layer='NRN_bc_14_0_ROADSEG'
)
bc_roads_df.to_crs(
'EPSG:4326',
inplace=True
)
bc_hrs = health_regions_df[health_regions_df['province'] == 'British Columbia']
intersection = gpd.overlay(bc_hrs, bc_roads_df, how='intersection')
print(intersection)
The above gives the following printout:

Why is GeoPandas overlay intersection empty between LINESTRING and MULTIPOLYGON geometries?
The overlay method should be applied to a geodataframe or series:
intersection = bc_hrs.overlay(bc_roads_df, how='intersection')
Here is some sample code to illustrate:
from shapely.geometry import Polygon
from shapely.geometry import LineString
import geopandas
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
polys1 = geopandas.GeoSeries([Polygon([(3,3), (3,7), (7,7), (7,3), (3,3)])])
line1= geopandas.GeoSeries([LineString([(0,0), (10,10)])])
df1 = geopandas.GeoDataFrame({'geometry': polys1})
df2 = geopandas.GeoDataFrame({'geometry': line1})
# Perform the intersect operation
intersect = df1.overlay(df2, how='intersection', keep_geom_type=False)
# Plot the process
fig, ax = plt.subplots(2,2, figsize=(8, 8))
df1.plot(ax=ax[0,0], color='blue', alpha=0.7)
df2.plot(ax=ax[0,0], color='magenta')
df1.plot(ax=ax[0,1], color='blue', alpha=0.7)
df2.plot(ax=ax[0,1], color='magenta', alpha=0.7)
intersect.plot(ax=ax[0,1], color='black')
intersect.plot(ax=ax[1,0], color='black', legend=True)
ax[0,0].set_title('Original')
ax[0,1].set_title('Intersection with polygon & Line')
ax[1,0].set_title('Line')
ax[1,1].set_visible(False)
custom_xlim = (0, 10)
custom_ylim = (0, 10)
plt.setp(ax, xlim=custom_xlim, ylim=custom_ylim)

How to use geopandas to plot latitude and longitude on a more detailed map with by using basemaps?

I am trying to plot some latitude and longitudes on the map of delhi which I am able to do by using a shape file in python3.8 using geopandas
Here is the link for the shape file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CEScjlcsKFCgdlME21buexHxjCbkb3WE/view?usp=sharing
Following is my code to plot points on the map:
lo=[list of longitudes]
la=[list of latitudes]
delhi_map = gpd.read_file(r'C:\Users\Desktop\Delhi_Wards.shp')
fig,ax = plt.subplots(figsize = (15,15))
delhi_map.plot(ax = ax)
geometry = [Point(xy) for xy in zip(lo,la)]
geo_df = gpd.GeoDataFrame(geometry = geometry)
print(geo_df)
g = geo_df.plot(ax = ax, markersize = 20, color = 'red',marker = '*',label = 'Delhi')
plt.show()
Following is the result:
Now this map is not very clear and anyone will not be able to recognise the places marked so i tried to use basemap for a more detailed map through the following code:
df = gpd.read_file(r'C:\Users\Jojo\Desktop\Delhi_Wards.shp')
new_df = df.to_crs(epsg=3857)
print(df.crs)
print(new_df.crs)
ax = new_df.plot()
ctx.add_basemap(ax)
plt.show()
And following is the result:
I am getting the basemap but my shapefile is overlapping it. Can i get a map to plot my latitudes and longitudes where the map is much more detailed with names of places or roads or anything similar to it like in google maps or even something like the map which is being overlapped by the blue shapefile map?
Is it possible to plot on a map like this??
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/P_Jops/publication/324715366/figure/fig3/AS:618748771835906#1524532611545/Map-of-Delhi-reproduced-from-Google-Maps-12.png
use zorder parameter to adjust the layers' orders (lower zorder means lower layer), and alpha to the polygon. anyway, I guess, you're plotting df twice, that's why it's overlapping.
here's my script and the result

# plot the polygon

# plot the boundary only (without fill), just uncomment
#ax = gpd.GeoSeries(ward.to_crs(epsg=3857)['geometry'].unary_union).boundary.plot(ax=ax, alpha=0.5, color="#ed2518",zorder=2)
ax = gpd.GeoSeries(ward['geometry'].unary_union).boundary.plot(ax=ax, alpha=0.5, color="#ed2518",zorder=2)
# plot the marker
ax = geo_df.plot(ax = ax, markersize = 20, color = 'red',marker = '*',label = 'Delhi', zorder=3)
ctx.add_basemap(ax, crs=geo_df.crs.to_string(), source=ctx.providers.OpenStreetMap.Mapnik)
plt.show()
I don't know about google maps being in the contextily, I don't think it's available. alternatively, you can use OpenStreetMap base map which shows quite the same toponym, or any other basemap you can explore. use `source` keyword in the argument, for example, `ctx.add_basemap(ax, source=ctx.providers.OpenStreetMap.Mapnik)` . here's how to check the available providers and the map each providers provides:
>>> ctx.providers.keys()
dict_keys(['OpenStreetMap', 'OpenSeaMap', 'OpenPtMap', 'OpenTopoMap', 'OpenRailwayMap', 'OpenFireMap', 'SafeCast', 'Thunderforest', 'OpenMapSurfer', 'Hydda', 'MapBox', 'Stamen', 'Esri', 'OpenWeatherMap', 'HERE', 'FreeMapSK', 'MtbMap', 'CartoDB', 'HikeBike', 'BasemapAT', 'nlmaps', 'NASAGIBS', 'NLS', 'JusticeMap', 'Wikimedia', 'GeoportailFrance', 'OneMapSG'])
>>> ctx.providers.OpenStreetMap.keys()
dict_keys(['Mapnik', 'DE', 'CH', 'France', 'HOT', 'BZH'])
I don't know geopandas. The idea I'm suggesting uses only basic python and matplotlib. I hope you can adapt it to your needs.
The background is the following map. I figured out the GPS coordinates of its corners using google-maps.
The code follows the three points of my remark. Note that the use of imread and imshow reverses the y coordinate. This is why the function coordinatesOnFigur looks non-symmetrical in x and y.
Running the code yields the map with a red bullet near Montijo (there is a small test at the end).

python matplotlib basemap show polygons in a map

I am trying to render a polygon using python matplot Basemap lib.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
def render_polygon(lat, long):
map = Basemap(llcrnrlon=-10,llcrnrlat=35,urcrnrlon=35,urcrnrlat=60.,
resolution=None, projection='tmerc', lat_0 =
8.30, lon_0 = 3.46)
map.plot(lat, long, marker=None,color='m')
plt.show()
lat = [56.1304, 55.1304, 54.1304, 53.1304, 52.1304]
long = [106.3468, 107.3468, 105.3468, 104.3468, 103.3468]
render_polygon(lat, long)
When I run the program passing the latitude longitude I see an empty rectangle.
Can someone point out what am I doing incorrect?
You need to transform coordinates in the process.
Try changing
map.plot(lat, long, marker=None, color='m')
to
map.plot(*map(long, lat), marker=None, color='m')
The code *map(long, lat) does the required coordinate transformation, and spreads the result to xs, ys in that place.
Edit 1
The original code have been edited to get appropriate data extent, proper projection parameters.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
def render_polygon(lat, long):
map = Basemap(llcrnrlon=103, llcrnrlat=50, urcrnrlon=107.5, urcrnrlat=60.,
resolution='c', projection='merc',
lat_0 = 50, lon_0 = 105)
map.plot(*map(long, lat), marker=None, color='m')
#map.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.7)
plt.show()
lat = [56.1304, 55.1304, 54.1304, 53.1304, 52.1304]
long = [106.3468, 107.3468, 105.3468, 104.3468, 103.3468]
render_polygon(lat, long)

How to plot a shapefile centered in the Pacific with Basemap?

When plotting with Basemap's readshapefile, if the defined map is centered anywhere else than the longitudinal center of the shapefile, only a portion of it it's plotted. Here's an example using Natural Earth's coastlines:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
shpf = './NaturalEarth/ne_50m_land/ne_50m_land'
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, dpi=100)
m = Basemap(
ax = ax,
projection = 'cyl',
llcrnrlon = 0, llcrnrlat = -90,
urcrnrlon = 360, urcrnrlat = 90
)
m.readshapefile(shpf,'ne_50m_land')
m.drawmeridians(np.arange(0,360,45),labels=[True,False,False,True])
Which produces:
Is there a workaround for this with Basemap or Python? I know some people re-center the shapefile in QGIS or similar, but it seems unpractical to do so every time you create a new map, and my QGIS skills are extremely basic.
One way to do it would be to tell readshapefile not to plot the coastlines directly and then to manipulate the line segments before plotting them yourself. Here an example based on your use case:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
shpf = 'shapefiles/ne_50m_land'
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, dpi=100)
m = Basemap(
ax = ax,
projection = 'cyl',
llcrnrlon = 0, llcrnrlat = -90,
urcrnrlon = 360, urcrnrlat = 90
)
m.readshapefile(shpf,'ne_50m_land', drawbounds = False)
boundary = 0.0
for info, shape in zip(m.ne_50m_land_info, m.ne_50m_land):
lons, lats = map(np.array, zip(*shape))
sep = (lons <= boundary).astype(int)
roots = np.where(sep[:-1]+sep[1:] == 1)[0]+1
lower = np.concatenate([[0],roots]).astype(int)
upper = np.concatenate([roots,[len(lons)]]).astype(int)
for low, high in zip(lower,upper):
lo_patch = lons[low:high]
la_patch = lats[low:high]
lo_patch[lo_patch<0] += 360
x,y = m(lo_patch,la_patch)
ax.plot(x,y,'k',lw=0.5)
m.drawmeridians(np.arange(0,360,45),labels=[True,False,False,True])
plt.show()
In the example above, I iterate through the line segments of the shape file the way it is explained in the Basemap documentation. First I thought it would be enough to just add 360 to each point with a longitude smaller 0, but then you would get horizontal lines whenever a coast line crosses the 0 degree line. So, instead, one has to cut the lines into smaller segments whenever such a crossing appears. This is quite easily accomplished with numpy. I then use the plot command to draw the coast lines. If you want to do something more complex have a look at the Basemap documentation.
The final result looks like this:
Hope this helps.

shapefile and matplotlib: plot polygon collection of shapefile coordinates

I'm trying to plot filled polygons of countries on the world map with matplotlib in python.
I've got a shapefile with country boundary coordinates of every country. Now, I want to convert these coordinates (for each country) into a polygon with matplotlib. Without using Basemap. Unfortunately, the parts are crossing or overlapping. Is there a workarund, maybe using the distance from point to point.. or reordering them ?
Ha!
I found out, how.. I completely neglected, the sf.shapes[i].parts information! Then it comes down to:
# -- import --
import shapefile
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.patches as patches
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
# -- input --
sf = shapefile.Reader("./shapefiles/world_countries_boundary_file_world_2002")
recs = sf.records()
shapes = sf.shapes()
Nshp = len(shapes)
cns = []
for nshp in xrange(Nshp):
cns.append(recs[nshp][1])
cns = array(cns)
cm = get_cmap('Dark2')
cccol = cm(1.*arange(Nshp)/Nshp)
# -- plot --
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
for nshp in xrange(Nshp):
ptchs = []
pts = array(shapes[nshp].points)
prt = shapes[nshp].parts
par = list(prt) + [pts.shape[0]]
for pij in xrange(len(prt)):
ptchs.append(Polygon(pts[par[pij]:par[pij+1]]))
ax.add_collection(PatchCollection(ptchs,facecolor=cccol[nshp,:],edgecolor='k', linewidths=.1))
ax.set_xlim(-180,+180)
ax.set_ylim(-90,90)
fig.savefig('test.png')
Then it will look like this:
Here is another piece of code I used to plot polygon shapefiles. It uses GDAL/OGR to read shapefile and plots correctly donut shape polygons:
from osgeo import ogr
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.path as mpath
import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Extract first layer of features from shapefile using OGR
ds = ogr.Open('world_countries_boundary_file_world_2002.shp')
nlay = ds.GetLayerCount()
lyr = ds.GetLayer(0)
# Get extent and calculate buffer size
ext = lyr.GetExtent()
xoff = (ext[1]-ext[0])/50
yoff = (ext[3]-ext[2])/50
# Prepare figure
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_xlim(ext[0]-xoff,ext[1]+xoff)
ax.set_ylim(ext[2]-yoff,ext[3]+yoff)
paths = []
lyr.ResetReading()
# Read all features in layer and store as paths
for feat in lyr:
geom = feat.geometry()
codes = []
all_x = []
all_y = []
for i in range(geom.GetGeometryCount()):
# Read ring geometry and create path
r = geom.GetGeometryRef(i)
x = [r.GetX(j) for j in range(r.GetPointCount())]
y = [r.GetY(j) for j in range(r.GetPointCount())]
# skip boundary between individual rings
codes += [mpath.Path.MOVETO] + \
(len(x)-1)*[mpath.Path.LINETO]
all_x += x
all_y += y
path = mpath.Path(np.column_stack((all_x,all_y)), codes)
paths.append(path)
# Add paths as patches to axes
for path in paths:
patch = mpatches.PathPatch(path, \
facecolor='blue', edgecolor='black')
ax.add_patch(patch)
ax.set_aspect(1.0)
plt.show()
from fiona import collection
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from descartes import PolygonPatch
from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection
from itertools import imap
from matplotlib.cm import get_cmap
cm = get_cmap('Dark2')
figure, axes = plt.subplots(1)
source_path = "./shapefiles/world_countries_boundary_file_world_2002"
with collection(source_path, 'r') as source:
patches = imap(PolygonPatch, (record['geometry'] for record in source)
axes.add_collection( PatchCollection ( patches, cmap=cm, linewidths=0.1 ) )
axes.set_xlim(-180,+180)
axes.set_ylim(-90,90)
plt.show()
Note this assumes polygons, MultiPolygons can be handles in a similar manner with
map(PolygonPatch, MultiPolygon(record['geometry']))
Regarding to #hannesk's answer, you should add the following imports: from numpy import array and import matplotlib and replace the line cm = get_cmap('Dark2') by cm = matplotlib.cm.get_cmap('Dark2')
(I'm not so famous to add a comment to the noticed post.)
