RectifiedGrid: Geospatial python library for grid-based analyses

RectifiedGrid is a Python package which, combining into a single class several python packages (e.g. Numpy, SciPy, shapely, rasterio, fiona, geopandas, owslib, matplotlib-basemaps), simplifies geospatial grid-based analyses. Numpy is a notable package for scientific computing with a support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices: RectifiedGrid extends the numpy MaskedArray class by adding geospatial functionalities (i.e. projection awareness, boundingboxes, raster algebra). RectifiedGrid employs rasterio and fiona under the hood for raster and vector I/O and owslibto access data through OGC interoperable services.

RectifiedGrid has been initialy developed to support Integrated Coastal Management and Maritime Spatial Planning analyses.
