# 🤔 What is this?

This is a Python package to help with analysis of the potential impacts of
climate hazards and other perils on infrastructure networks.

## Installation

Install using pip:

pip install nismod-snail

This should bring all dependencies with it. If any of these cause difficulties,
try using a [conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html) environment:

conda env create -n snail_env \
python=3.11 geopandas shapely rasterio python-igraph
conda activate snail_env
pip install nismod-snail

If all worked okay, you should be able to run python and import snail:

$ python
>>> import snail
>>> help(snail)
Help on package snail:

NAME
snail - snail - the spatial networks impact assessment library

## Using the `snail` command

Once installed, you can use `snail` directly from the command line.

Split features on a grid defined by its transform, width and height:

```bash
snail split \
--features input.shp \
--transform 1 0 -180 0 -1 90 \
--width 360 \
--height 180 \
--output split.gpkg
```

Split features on a grid defined by a GeoTIFF, optionally adding the values from each raster band to each split feature as a new attribute:

```bash
snail split \
--features lines.geojson \
--raster gridded_data.tif \
--attribute \
--output split_lines_with_raster_values.geojson
```

Split multiple vector feature files along the grids defined by multiple raster files, attributing all raster values:

```bash
snail process -fs features.csv -rs rasters.csv
```

Where at a minimum, each CSV has a column `path` with the path to each file.

### Transform

A note on `transform` - these six numbers define the transform from `i,j` cell index (column/row) coordinates in the rectangular grid to `x,y` geographic coordinates, in the coordinate reference system of the input and output files. They effectively form the first two rows of a 3x3 matrix:

```
| x | | a b c | | i |
| y | = | d e f | | j |
| 1 | | 0 0 1 | | 1 |
```

In cases without shear or rotation, `a` and `e` define scaling or grid cell size, while `c` and `f` define the offset or grid upper-left corner:

```
| x_scale 0 x_offset |
| 0 y_scale y_offset |
| 0 0 1 |
```

See [`rasterio/affine`](https://github.com/rasterio/affine#usage) and [GDAL Raster Data Model](https://gdal.org/user/raster_data_model.html#affine-geotransform) for more documentation.

## Development

Clone this repository using [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/) or on
the command line:

git clone [email protected]:nismod/snail.git

Change directory into the root of the project:

cd snail

To create and activate a conda environment with snail's dependencies installed:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate snail-dev

Run this to install the source code as a package:

pip install .

If you're working on snail itself, install it as "editable" along with test and
development packages:

pip install -e .[dev]

Run tests using [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/) and
[pytest-cov](https://pytest-cov.readthedocs.io) to check coverage:

pytest --cov=snail --cov-report=term-missing

Run a formatter ([black](https://github.com/psf/black)) to fix code
formatting:

black src/snail

When working on the tutorial notebooks, it is recommended to install and
configure [nbstripout](https://github.com/kynan/nbstripout) so data and outputs
are not committed in the notebook files:

nbstripout --install

### C++ library

The C++ library in `extension/src` contains the core routines to find intersections of
lines with raster grids.

Before working on the C++ library, fetch source code for Catch2 unit testing
library (this is included as a git submodule):

git submodule update --init --recursive

Build the library and run tests:

cmake -Bbuild ./extension
cmake --build build/
./build/run_tests

Run code style auto-formatting:

clang-format -i extension/src/*.{cpp,hpp}

Run lints and checks:

clang-tidy --checks 'cppcoreguidelines-*' extension/src/*.{cpp,hpp}

This may need some includes for `pybind11` - which will vary depending on your
python installation. For example, with python via miniconda:

clang-tidy --checks 'cppcoreguidelines-*' extension/src/* -- \
-I/home/username/miniconda3/include/python3.11/ \
-I./pybind11/include/

Or with C++ headers installed on a Linux machine:

clang-tidy --checks 'cppcoreguidelines-*' extension/src/* -- \
-std=c++14 \
-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/11 \
-I/usr/include/c++/11 \
-I{$PWD}/extension/extern/pybind11/include \
-I/usr/include/python3.10

### Integration of C++ and Python using pybind11

The `snail.core.intersections` module is built using `pybind11` with
`scikit-build-core` (see [docs](https://scikit-build-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/))

- `extension/src/intersections.cpp` defines the module interface using the
`PYBIND11_MODULE` macro
- `pyproject.toml` defines the build requirements for snail, which includes
pybind11 and scikit-build-core
