zmapio: reading and writing ZMAP Plus Grid files

To install:

$ pip install zmapio

Basic usage of zmapio

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from zmapio import ZMAPGrid

%matplotlib inline

Reading a ZMAP file:

z_file = ZMAPGrid('./examples/NSLCU.dat')

Accessing the comments header:

for c in z_file.comments:
    print(c)

Landmark Zmap grid file name:   .DATANSLCU.dat
Created/converted by Oasis Montaj, Geosoft Inc.

Plotting the grid data:

z_file.plot()

Counts for rows and columns:

z_file.no_cols, z_file.no_rows

(435, 208)

Shape for z-values:

z_file.z_values.shape

(208, 435)

Exporting to CSV file:

z_file.to_csv('./output/output.csv')

head ./output/output.csv

-630000.0,2594000.0,-13340.4677734

Exporting to WKT file:

z_file.to_wkt('./output/output.wkt', precision=2)

Exporting to GeoJSON file:

z_file.to_geojson('./output/output.json')

Exporting to Pandas Dataframe:

df = z_file.to_dataframe()

df.Z.describe()

Write a new ZMAP file as 3 nodes per line format:

z_file.write('./output/test.zmap', nodes_per_line=3)

head ./output/test.zmap

Creating a ZMAP object from string:

z_t = ZMAPGrid(z_text)
z_t.plot()

Adding colorbar and colormap using matplotlib:

z_obj = ZMAPGrid('./examples/NStopo.dat')
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))
z_obj.plot(cmap='jet')
plt.colorbar()

Creating a new ZMAP object from 2D-Numpy array with shape (no_cols, no_rows):

z_val = z_obj.z_values
print('Z-values shape: ', z_val.shape)
new_zgrid = ZMAPGrid(z_values=z_val, min_x=-630000.0000, max_x=672000.0000,
                     min_y=2000000.0000,  max_y=2621000.0000)

Z-values shape:  (435, 208)

new_zgrid.plot(cmap='gist_earth')

Customize writing a ZMAP file:

new_zgrid.comments = ['this is', 'a test']
new_zgrid.nodes_per_line = 4
new_zgrid.field_width = 15
new_zgrid.decimal_places = 3
new_zgrid.name = 'test'
new_zgrid.write('./output/new_z.dat')

head ./output/new_z.dat
