grass.jupyter package

The grass.jupyter is a convenient GRASS GIS interface for Jupyter notebooks.

Python is a great tool for data science and scientific computing. Jupyter is an environment with computational notebooks which makes it even better tool for analysis and workflow prototyping. Computational notebooks are documents combining code, text, and results such as figures and tables. JupyterLab is an environment where you interact with all these parts. You can install it locally on your machine or use it online from some service provider.

The grass.jupyter subpackage improves the integration of GRASS GIS and Jupyter notebooks compared to the standard Python API. The original version was written as part of Google Summer of Code in 2021 and experimental version was included in GRASS GIS 8.0. Since then, much more development happened adding better session handling and rendering of additional data types.

Usage

To start using it in a notebook, import the top level package with a convenient alias, such as gj, like this:

>>> import grass.jupyter as gj

Note

To import the package, you need to tell Python where the GRASS GIS Python package is unless you manually set this on your system or in the command line. Please, refer to the example notebooks linked below for an example of the full workflow.

Note

On Windows, there is no system Python and GRASS GIS needs to use its own Python. Jupyter needs to be installed into that Python. Please, refer to the wiki for Windows-specific instructions.

To use existing data, we start a GRASS session in an existing mapset:

>>> gj.init("grassdata/nc_basic_spm_grass7/user1")

Note

Contrary to typical command line / GUI module usage, grass.jupyter enables output overwrite by default to align with behaviour of other Python packages and to allow repeated executions of the same cells and of the whole notebook. The default command line behaviour can be restored by setting GRASS_OVERWRITE environmental variable to “0” after gj.init() call: os.environ[“GRASS_OVERWRITE”] = “0”.

All classes and functions for interaction in notebooks are now available under gj, for example we can display a map with a selected raster and vector:

>>> streams_map = gj.Map()
>>> streams_map.d_rast(map="elevation")
>>> streams_map.d_vect(map="streams")
>>> streams_map.show()

Other classes and functions are described below and in the example notebooks. Static HTML versions of the example notebooks are available on GitHub and interactive ones with live code are available on Binder:

There are also internal classes and functions which are not guaranteed to have as stable API, although they are available through their specific submodules. For all standard cases, use only classes and function imported with import grass.jupyter as gj. If in doubt, use dir(gj) to see available objects. Both the objects in submodules and names of submodules may change in the future.

Note

Although most of the functionality is general, the defaults, resource management, and other behavior assumes usage in an interactive notebook, so using the functionality in other contexts (e.g. a script) may result in unexpected behavior. Consult the documentation or mailing list if in doubt. Suggest generalized functionality using issues and pull requests.

New in version 8.2.

Submodules

grass.jupyter.interactivemap module

Interactive visualizations map with folium or ipyleaflet

class grass.jupyter.interactivemap.InteractiveMap(width=400, height=400, tiles='CartoDB positron', API_key=None, use_region=False, saved_region=None, map_backend=None)

Bases: object

This class creates interactive GRASS maps with folium or ipyleaflet.

Basic Usage:

>>> m = InteractiveMap()
>>> m.add_vector("streams")
>>> m.add_raster("elevation")
>>> m.add_layer_control()
>>> m.show()

Creates a blank folium/ipyleaflet map centered on g.region.

If map_backend is not specified, InteractiveMap tries to import ipyleaflet first, then folium if it fails. The backend can be specified explicitely with valid values “folium” and “ipyleaflet” .

In case of folium backend, tiles parameter is passed directly to folium.Map() which supports several built-in tilesets (including “OpenStreetMap”, “Stamen Toner”, “Stamen Terrain”, “Stamen Watercolor”, “Mapbox Bright”, “Mapbox Control Room”, “CartoDB positron”, “CartoDB dark_matter”) as well as custom tileset URL (i.e. “http://{s}.yourtiles.com/{z}/{x}/{y}.png”). For more information, visit folium documentation: https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/modules.html In case of ipyleaflet, only the tileset name and not the URL is currently supported.

Raster and vector data are always reprojected to Pseudo-Mercator. With use_region=True or saved_region=myregion, the region extent is reprojected and the number of rows and columns of that region is kept the same. This region is then used for reprojection. By default, use_region is False, which results in the reprojection of the entire raster in its native resolution. The reprojected resolution is estimated with r.proj. Vector data are always reprojected without any clipping, i.e., region options don’t do anything.

Parameters

• height (int) – height in pixels of figure (default 400)

• width (int) – width in pixels of figure (default 400)

• tiles (str) – map tileset to use

• API_key (str) – API key for Mapbox or Cloudmade tiles

• use_region (bool) – use computational region of current mapset

• saved_region (str) – name of saved computation region

• map_backend (str) – “ipyleaflet” or “folium” or None

Bases: object

Map creates and displays GRASS maps in Jupyter Notebooks.

Elements are added to the display by calling GRASS display modules.

Basic usage:

>>> m = Map()
>>> m.run("d.rast", map="elevation")
>>> m.run("d.legend", raster="elevation")
>>> m.show()

GRASS display modules can also be called by using the name of module as a class method and replacing “.” with “_” in the name.

Shortcut usage:

>>> m = Map()
>>> m.d_rast(map="elevation")
>>> m.d_legend(raster="elevation")
>>> m.show()

Creates an instance of the Map class.

Parameters

• height (int) – height of map in pixels

• width (int) – width of map in pixels

• filename (str) – filename or path to save a PNG of map

• env (str) – environment

• font (str) – font to use in rendering; either the name of a font from $GISBASE/etc/fontcap (or alternative fontcap file specified by GRASS_FONT_CAP), or alternatively the full path to a FreeType font file

• text_size (int) – default text size, overwritten by most display modules

• renderer – GRASS renderer driver (options: cairo, png, ps, html)

• use_region – if True, use either current or provided saved region, else derive region from rendered layers

• saved_region – if name of saved_region is provided, this region is then used for rendering

• read_file (bool) – if False (default), erase filename before re-writing to clear contents. If True, read file without clearing contents first.

property filename

Filename or full path to the file with the resulting image.

The value can be set during initialization. When the filename was not provided during initialization, a path to temporary file is returned. In that case, the file is guaranteed to exist as long as the object exists.

property region_manager

Region manager object

run(module, **kwargs)

Run modules from the GRASS display family (modules starting with “d.”).

This function passes arguments directly to grass.script.run_command() so the syntax is the same.

Parameters

• module (str) – name of GRASS module

• **kwargs – named arguments passed to run_command()

save(filename)

Saves a PNG image of map to the specified filename

show()

grass.jupyter.map3d module

Render 3D visualizations

class grass.jupyter.map3d.Map3D(width: int = 600, height: int = 400, filename: Optional[str] = None, mode: str = 'fine', resolution_fine: int = 1, screen_backend: str = 'auto', font: str = 'sans', text_size: float = 12, renderer2d: str = 'cairo', use_region: bool = False, saved_region: Optional[str] = None)

Bases: object

Creates and displays 3D visualization using GRASS GIS 3D rendering engine NVIZ.

The 3D image is created using the render function which uses the m.nviz.image module in the background. Additional images can be placed on the image using the overlay attribute which is the 2D renderer, i.e., has interface of the Map class.

Basic usage:

>>> img = Map()
>>> img.render(elevation_map="elevation", color_map="elevation", perspective=20)
>>> img.overlay.d_legend(raster="elevation", at=(60, 97, 87, 92))
>>> img.show()

For the OpenGL rendering with m.nviz.image to work, a display (screen) is needed. This is not guaranteed on headless systems such as continuous integration (CI) or Binder service(s). This class uses Xvfb and PyVirtualDisplay to support rendering in these environments.

Checks screen_backend and creates a temporary directory for rendering.

Parameters

• width – width of image in pixels

• height – height of image in pixels

• filename – filename or path to save the resulting PNG image

• mode – 3D rendering mode (options: fine, coarse, both)

• resolution_fine – resolution multiplier for the fine mode

• screen_backend – backend for running the 3D rendering

• font – font to use in 2D rendering

• text_size – default text size in 2D rendering, usually overwritten

• renderer2d – GRASS 2D renderer driver (options: cairo, png)

• use_region – if True, use either current or provided saved region, else derive region from rendered layers

• saved_region – if name of saved_region is provided, this region is then used for rendering

When resolution_fine is 1, rasters are used in the resolution according to the computational region as usual in GRASS GIS. Setting resolution_fine to values higher than one, causes rasters to be resampled to a coarser resolution (2 for twice as coarse than computational region resolution). This allows for fast rendering of large rasters without changing the computational region.

By default (screen_backend="auto"), when pyvirtualdisplay Python package is present, the class assumes that it is running in a headless environment, so pyvirtualdisplay is used. When the package is not present, m.nviz.image is executed directly. When screen_backend is set to "pyvirtualdisplay" and the package cannot be imported, ValueError is raised. When screen_backend is set to "simple", m.nviz.image is executed directly. For other values of screen_backend, ValueError is raised.

property filename

Filename or full path to the file with the resulting image.

The value can be set during initialization. When the filename was not provided during initialization, a path to temporary file is returned. In that case, the file is guaranteed to exist as long as the object exists.

property region_manager

Region manager object

render(**kwargs)

Run rendering using m.nviz.image.

Keyword arguments are passed as parameters to the m.nviz.image module. Parameters set in constructor such as mode are used here unless another value is provided. Parameters related to size, file, and format are handled internally and will be ignored when passed here.

Calling this function again, overwrites the previously rendered image, so typically, it is called only once.

show()

grass.jupyter.setup module

Initialization GRASS GIS session and its finalization

grass.jupyter.setup.init(path, location=None, mapset=None, grass_path=None)

Initiates a GRASS session and sets GRASS environment variables.

>>> import grass.jupyter as gj
>>> session = gj.init(...)

The session is ended when session.finish is called or when the object is destroyed when kernel ends or restarts. This function returns a copy of an internally kept reference, so the return value can be safely ignored when not needed.

The returned object can be used to switch to another mapset:

>>> session.switch_mapset("mapset_name")

Subsequent calls to the init function result in switching the mapset if a session is active and result in creation of new session if it is not active. On the other hand, if you see GISRC - variable not set after calling a GRASS module, you know you don’t have an active GRASS session.
