• Box the Survey

  A dataset extent can serve as a quick candidate filter before a more detailed spatial query. The coordinate representation determines what this rectangular extent means.

• Clean the Fixes

  A batch can contain records outside the expected signed-degree convention. Filtering selects those meeting that convention without asserting that every retained observation is correct.

• To Radians

  Python's trigonometric functions take radians. Geographic coordinates here use degrees, while projected map coordinates may use metres or other units. The interface must tell you which conversion is needed.

• Wrap the Meridian

  Longitudes separated by a whole turn identify the same meridian. A common representation avoids two names for that meridian, including choosing -180 instead of +180.

• As the Crow Flies

  A spherical distance is a useful route estimate. Here Earth is approximated by a sphere of radius 6371 km; this is not an ellipsoidal survey calculation or a road-network distance.

• Project the Mercator

  Mercator expands north/south spacing toward the poles to match its east/west local scale. In the spherical model this preserves local angles, while distorting lengths and areas.

• Steer the Course

  A great-circle route begins in a particular direction, but that compass bearing generally changes along the route. This function returns only the initial direction at the starting point.

• Tile the World

  XYZ tiles cover the world from west to east. Longitude first becomes a fraction of the full world width, then a position in tile units.

• Hash the Location

  Geohash represents each five-bit group with one of 32 symbols. More characters select smaller cells while retaining the earlier prefix.

• Inside the District

  A ray starting outside a simple polygon alternates between outside and inside whenever it crosses the boundary. Odd crossing count therefore means inside.

• Measure the Parcel

  A closed planar boundary encloses an area that can be calculated by summing signed edge contributions. This avoids dividing the shape into triangles by hand.

• Trace the Perimeter

  A fence perimeter adds distances along its boundary, including the last edge back to the start. It is not the direct distance between two arbitrary vertices.

• Blend the Corners

  A fractional position needs a blend of the nearby measurements. Each weight describes how much one corner contributes.

  interpolation. Free with an account.

• Fill the Gaps

  IDW combines nearby values while retaining the original measurement unit. Dividing by total weight prevents arbitrary weight scale from changing the estimate.

• Read the Terrain

  A slope angle describes how steep the terrain is regardless of which compass direction it faces. It combines both horizontal gradient components.

• Simplify the Coast

  A shape-sensitive simplifier retains a vertex when its deviation exceeds a chosen tolerance, then applies the same decision to the subpaths on each side.

• Cluster the Hotspots

  DBSCAN connects dense neighborhoods while allowing nearby noncore border points to join. A point first encountered as noise can later belong to a cluster reached from a core.

• Find the Epicenter

  A brute-force location search is easy to inspect: evaluate every candidate and retain the best score. Its answer is limited by grid spacing and search extent.

• Open the Store

  A final recommendation must satisfy the allowed-zone rule before scores are compared. Otherwise an outside site can win a zero-score tie or be returned when every candidate is disallowed.

• Trigger the Detector

  An energy increase can suggest an event worth inspecting. A ratio compares the recent window with its background without claiming to identify a seismic phase.
