Sample geopandas data in networkx example

568 views Asked by At

I am trying an example provided by networkx here. This example uses a geopandas dataset in a filename cholera_cases.pkdg.

# read in example data from a geopackage file. Geopackages
# are a format for storing geographic data that is backed
# by sqlite. geopandas reads data relying on the fiona package,
# providing a high-level pandas-style interface to geographic data.
cases = geopandas.read_file("cholera_cases.gpkg")

The example, however, does not mention where and how to obtain this dataset. I combed GeoPandas website up and down and am unable to locate this file. I want to view the format of its content and run this example.

If anyone is aware of where to obtain this kind of geopandas file, please advise.

If you go to their GitHub, you can find it in their repo. Here: https://github.com/networkx/networkx/tree/main/examples/geospatial

Might be worth cloning the repo to play with the examples.

As general advice, on webpages for projects like these, I like to always check for links to their GitHub/GitLab/other because you get to see the project behind the scenes, and a local clone can be kept up to date
