geoscript.scala

geoscript.scala copied to clipboard

GeoScript.scala is a Scala library for simple reading, writing, manipulation, and rendering of geospatial data. It is based on the GeoTools <http://geotools.org>_ geospatial library for Java.

Similar GeoTools wrappers are available for Python, Groovy, and JavaScript (using the ringojs platform). See http://geoscript.org/ for details.

Building

GeoScript.scala is built using SBT <http://scala-sbt.org/>. Follow the SBT installation instructions, <http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Setup.html> and then::

sbt test

will build GeoScript.scala and verify it is working properly. You can then use::

sbt console

to launch an interactive console with GeoScript.scala loaded. Some example scripts can be found in the examples subproject. You can run them using::

$ sbt

project examples run ... here SBT prompts you to choose which example to run.

Instead of the run command, you can use run-main instead. It allows you to specify the name of the program to run instead of selecting it interactively, which is more convenient for repeated runs.

There is a screencast about building and running unit tests with SBT available at http://vimeo.com/68050280 .
