# Bounding Geospatial Data: Different Approaches and Methods
Welcome to the Geospatial Shapefile Processing Toolkit! This repository contains a collection of Python scripts, each designed to perform a specific type of processing on polygon shapefiles. Whether you're looking to extract geometrical shapes, analyze spatial boundaries, or transform data, these scripts provide a range of functionalities to suit your needs.
## Scripts Overview
1. **Delaunay Triangulation (TRIANGULATION.py)**: Generates a Delaunay Triangulation from a given polygon shapefile, useful for spatial analysis and triangulating points in a plane.
2. **Rotational Bounding Box (RO_BBOX.py)**: Calculates the rotational bounding box for a given polygon shapefile, which can be used in spatial data visualization and analysis.
3. **Convex Hull Extraction (CONVEX_HULL.py)**: Creates the Convex Hull of a polygon shapefile. This is helpful in understanding the outer boundary of a shape or dataset.
4. **Concave Hull Extraction (CONCAVE_HULL.py)**: Extracts the Concave Hull from a polygon shapefile, offering a tighter fitting boundary than the convex hull for irregular shapes.
5. **Circle Extraction (CIRCLE.py)**: Determines the smallest enclosing circle for a given polygon shapefile, useful in various geometrical computations.
6. **Bezier Envelope (BEZIER_ENVELOPE.py)**: Generates a Bezier Envelope from a polygon shapefile, which can be used for advanced geometrical representations and analyses.
7. **Bounding Box (BBOX.py)**: Extracts the standard bounding box of a polygon shapefile, essential for many spatial analysis tasks.
## Getting Started
To use these scripts, you'll need Python installed on your system along with libraries such as `geopandas`, `shapely`, `scipy`, `numpy`, and others specific to each script.
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.x
- Libraries: `geopandas`, `shapely`, `scipy.spatial`, `numpy`, `alphashape`, `smallestenclosingcircle`, etc.
### Running the Scripts
1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Install the required libraries.
3. Run the desired script with the appropriate shapefile as input.
## Contributing
We welcome contributions to enhance the functionality and efficiency of this script. Feel free to fork, modify, and make pull requests to this repository. To contribute:
1. Fork the Project.
2. Create your Feature Branch (`git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature`).
3. Commit your Changes (`git commit -m 'Add some AmazingFeature'`).
4. Push to the Branch (`git push origin feature/AmazingFeature`).
5. Open a Pull Request against the `main` branch.
