Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is not related to a problem, but it is a feature that I have developed for myself after searched for an existing solution in other libraries.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want to trace Line, Polyline or MultiLines on a Vector file. Then import this file (gu.Vector) and export all the encountered values where theses lines cross a Raster. Then we can plot theses profiles along a distance array. See this example :
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import geoutils as gu
profiles_axis = gu.Vector('profiles_axis.gpkg')
raster = gu.Raster('raster.tif')
distances, profiles = raster.extract_profile(profiles_axis)
for i in range(len(distances)) :
plt.plot(distances[i], profiles[i])
plt.show()
Describe alternatives you've considered
In my project I use start and end points, to select Rasters values over the segment delimited by these two points.
Additional context
An example of the profiles that I have traced on few DEMs along 2 tracks. These two tracks are defined by a starting and ending point, extracted from a gu.Vector file using
profiles_axis_gpkg = gu.Vector('profiles_axis.gpkg')
for line in profiles_axis_gpkg.ds.geometry :
coords = list(line.coords)
