GeoIO.jl uses various backend packages spread across different Julia organizations to load a universal representation of geospatial data as discussed in the book Geospatial Data Science with Julia . The current list of supported formats can be obtained with: julia> using GeoIO julia> GeoIO.formats…

GeoIO.jl v1.4.0 Added support to load/save all non-parallel VTK formats with ReadVTK.jl and WriteVTK.jl: .vtu, .vtp, .vts, .vtr, .vti Needs more testing, but the release is out.

GeoIO.jl v1.8.0 Added support to load/save STL files with triangle meshes and NetCDF and GRIB files with NCDatasets.jl and GRIBDatasets.jl

GeoIO.jl v1.12 Added support to load/save OBJ, OFF and MSH files with unstructured meshes, and GeoTIFF with lazy transformed grids.

GeoIO.jl v1.14 GeoJSON files are now loaded with native coordinate reference system (CRS) from CoordRefSystems.jl: [image] Closer look: [image]

GeoIO.jl v1.15 Shapefiles are now loaded with native Julia CRS, assuming ESRI WKT or OGC WKT 2 string formats.

GeoIO.jl v1.16 The fix option in GeoIO.load was replaced by repair as explained in the new docstring. The option can be set to false if repairing geometries by default is not desired (e.g., large geotables). All repairs are now implemented using Repair transforms from Meshes.jl

GeoTIFF files are now loaded with native Julia CRS, assuming a projected coordinate system (e.g., Mercator, UTM, etc.). Geographic coordinates are not supported yet.

GeoIO.jl v1.16.5 All GeoTIFF files are now loaded with native Julia CRS, including those with a geographic coordinate system.

Cross-posting a concrete example: [image] [ANN] GeoStats.jl - Geospatial Data Science and Geostatistical Modeling in Julia Package Announcements A few tweaks here and there, and we are now able to visualize moderately large “raster” data stored in GeoTIFF files with any C…

GeoIO.jl v1.17 New option lenunit to specify the unit of coordinates in file formats that don’t include units in their specs (e.g., obj, msh, off, stl)
