rio-plugin-example

A Rasterio CLI command plugin example.

Usage

Given a path to a raster dataset, this project's rio metasay command prints a picture of a cow saying one random or optionally specified (see --item) metadata item from the dataset.

$ rio metasay tests/data/RGB.byte.tif
 ____________
< Width: 791 >
 ------------
  \
   \   \_\_    _/_/
    \      \__/
           (oo)\_______
           (__)\       )\/\
               ||----w |
               ||     ||

This project is a recipe for new, actually useful plugins, and hopefully generates a few nostalgic chuckles or groans.

Installation

If you've already installed Rasterio, installation is just pip install rio-metasay.

Testing
