Greetings, everyone. I am picking up Julia as a second programming language, so bear with me. The JuliaGeo group is making great strides to carve a path for geospatial analytics using Julia. I am excited to see what comes next from the team. That said, I often work with ESRI file geodatabase as part of the field that I work in. In Python, I know that (provided one has the FGDB.dll) developers can access these files using GDAL. ArchGDAL is still relatively new, but is there a plan to support file geodatabases to access vector or raster data? Are there any alternative packages that allow Julia users to access this data?
If you’re using JuliaGeo packages, then GeoDataFrames.jl should be able to read .gdb files pretty easily!
Can you provide an example code? I do not see how GeoDataFrames reads GDB files.
ESRI GeoDataBase files should readable with GDAL.jl and ArchGDAL.jl
And GMT.jl
The same way you read anything eith GeoDataFrames - GeoDataFrames.read(filename) should do it.
.gdb files also contain raster data so not sure GeoDataFrames will work… I searched for an example dataset but didn’t have any luck.
