Mesa-Geo implements a GeoSpace that can host GIS-based GeoAgents, which are like normal Agents, except they have a geometry attribute that is a Shapely object and a crs attribute for its Coordinate Reference System. You can use Shapely directly to create arbitrary geometries, but in most cases you will want to import your geometries from a file. Mesa-Geo allows you to create GeoAgents from any vector data file (e.g. shapefiles), valid GeoJSON objects or a GeoPandas GeoDataFrame.

Using Mesa-Geo

To install Mesa-Geo, run:

pip install -U mesa-geo

Mesa-Geo pre-releases can be installed with:

pip install -U --pre mesa-geo

You can also use pip to install the GitHub version:

pip install -U -e git+https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa-geo.git#egg=mesa-geo

Or any other (development) branch on this repo or your own fork:

pip install -U -e git+https://github.com/YOUR_FORK/mesa-geo@YOUR_BRANCH#egg=mesa-geo

Take a look at the examples repository for sample models demonstrating Mesa-Geo features.
