Extents
Extents.jl is a small package that defines an Extent object that can be used by the
different Julia spatial data packages. Extent is a wrapper for a NamedTuple of tuples
holding the lower and upper bounds for each dimension of a object. It is used in
GeoInterface.jl, as the required return type
for the extent function, and in DimensionalData.jl
and Rasters.jl to subset arrays with named dimensions.
Quick start
julia> using Extents
julia> ext1 = Extent(X = (1.0, 2.0), Y = (3.0, 4.0))
julia> ext2 = Extent(X = (1.5, 2.5), Y = (3.0, 4.0))
julia> # find the dimensions
julia> keys(ext1)
(:X, :Y)
julia> # get the extent for a single dimension by name
julia> ext1.X
(1.0, 2.0)
julia> # get the underlying NamedTuple
julia> bounds(ext1)
(X = (1.0, 2.0), Y = (3.0, 4.0))
julia> # compare different extents
julia> Extents.intersects(ext1, ext2)
true
julia> Extents.intersect(ext1, ext2)
Extent(X = (1.5, 2.0), Y = (3.0, 4.0))
julia> Extents.union(ext1, ext2)
Extent(X = (1.0, 2.5), Y = (3.0, 4.0))
