Rasterize a vector dataset to match a reference raster.

Parameters

• shp (str or geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame) – Either the filename of a shapefile or an iterable

• ds (xarray.Dataset) – The reference dataset to match the raster shape.

• encode_labels (bool, optional) – If True, convert categorical data to integer values. The corresponding labels are accessible in the metadata. (default: True).

• date_field (str, optional) – The name of field containing the timestamp.

Returns

The rasterized features.

Return type

xarray.Dataset or xarray.DataArray

nd.vector.read_file(path, clip=None)

Read a geospatial vector file.

Parameters

• path (str) – The path of the file to read.

• clip (shapely.geometry, optional) – A geometry to intersect the vector data.
