Using dataframes to explore data and make plots

In this example we’ll see some ways to explore data that you can get from pygeodes and make plots

Imports

from pygeodes import Geodes

Configuration

geodes = Geodes()

Searching items

Let’s start by searching recent items in Africa :

from pygeodes.utils.datetime_utils import complete_datetime_from_str

date = complete_datetime_from_str("2024-07-20")

items, dataframe = geodes.search_items(
    query={
        "spaceborne:continentsID": {"eq": "AF"},
        "temporal:endDate": {"gte": date},
    },
    return_df=True,
    get_all=False,
)

Found 7262 items matching your query, returning 500 as get_all parameter is set to False
500 item(s) found for query : {'spaceborne:continentsID': {'eq': 'AF'}, 'temporal:endDate': {'gte': '2024-07-20T00:00:00.000000Z'}}

Let’s add to our result dataframe the column spaceborne:cloudCover :

from pygeodes.utils.formatting import format_items

dataframe = format_items(dataframe, {"spaceborne:cloudCover"})

Exploring data and adding colors in function of a parameter

With numerical data

Now we can explore our data on a map and add colors corresponding to cloud cover :

dataframe.explore(column="spaceborne:cloudCover", cmap="Blues")

With literal data

It can also work with literal data, like spaceborne:productLevel :

dataframe = format_items(dataframe, {"spaceborne:productLevel"})

dataframe.explore(column="spaceborne:productLevel", cmap="Dark2")

Plotting data

You can also plot without the map canvas, for instance :

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

dataframe.plot(column="spaceborne:productLevel", legend=True)

<Axes: >

Or even plot without geometry, let’s see :

dataframe.plot(kind="hist", column="spaceborne:cloudCover", range=(0, 100))

<Axes: ylabel='Frequency'>
