Raster files how to#

In this chapter, you will learn how to open and plot a lidar raster dataset in Python. In this chapter you will learn how to use the open source Python packages rasterio combined with numpy and earthpy to open, manipulate and plot raster data in Python. In previous chapters you learned how to use the open source Python package Geopandas to open vector data stored in shapefile format. The data story on Lidar data reviews the basic principles behind Lidar raster datasets.
