  1. Instantiating a pysal.spaghetti.Network
  2. Allocating observations to a network
    • snapping
  3. Visualizing original and snapped locations
    • visualization with geopandas and matplotlib

1. Instantiating a pysal.spaghetti.Network

Instantiate the network from .shp file

ntw = spgh.Network(in_data=examples.get_path('streets.shp'))

2. Allocating observations to a network

Snap point patterns to the network

# Crimes with attributes
ntw.snapobservations(examples.get_path('crimes.shp'),
                     'crimes',
                     attribute=True)

# Schools without attributes
ntw.snapobservations(examples.get_path('schools.shp'),
                     'schools',
                     attribute=False)

3. Visualizing original and snapped locations

True and snapped school locations

schools_df = spgh.element_as_gdf(ntw,
                                 pp_name='schools',
                                 snapped=False)

snapped_schools_df = spgh.element_as_gdf(ntw,
                                         pp_name='schools',
                                         snapped=True)

True and snapped crime locations

crimes_df = spgh.element_as_gdf(ntw,
                                pp_name='crimes',
                                snapped=False)

snapped_crimes_df = spgh.element_as_gdf(ntw,
                                        pp_name='crimes',
                                        snapped=True)

Create geopandas.GeoDataFrame objects of the vertices and arcs

# network nodes and edges
vertices_df, arcs_df = spgh.element_as_gdf(ntw,
                                           vertices=True,
                                           arcs=True)

Plotting geopandas.GeoDataFrame objects

# legend patches
arcs = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='k', label='Network Arcs', alpha=.5)
vtxs = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='k', linewidth=0, markersize=2.5,
                     marker='o', label='Network Vertices', alpha=1)
schl = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='k', linewidth=0, markersize=25,
                     marker='X', label='School Locations', alpha=1)
snp_schl = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='k', linewidth=0, markersize=12,
                         marker='o', label='Snapped Schools', alpha=1)
crme = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='r', linewidth=0, markersize=7,
                     marker='x', label='Crime Locations', alpha=.75)
snp_crme = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='r', linewidth=0, markersize=3,
                         marker='o', label='Snapped Crimes', alpha=.75)

patches = [arcs, vtxs, schl, snp_schl, crme, snp_crme]
# plot figure
base = arcs_df.plot(color='k', alpha=.25, figsize=(12,12), zorder=0)
vertices_df.plot(ax=base, color='k', markersize=5, alpha=1)

crimes_df.plot(ax=base, color='r', marker='x',
               markersize=50, alpha=.5, zorder=1)
snapped_crimes_df.plot(ax=base, color='r',
                       markersize=20, alpha=.5, zorder=1)

schools_df.plot(ax=base, cmap='tab20', column='id', marker='X',
                markersize=500, alpha=.5, zorder=2)
snapped_schools_df.plot(ax=base,cmap='tab20', column='id',
                        markersize=200, alpha=.5, zorder=2)

# add legend
plt.legend(handles=patches, fancybox=True, framealpha=0.8,
           scatterpoints=1, fontsize="xx-large", bbox_to_anchor=(1.04, .6))
