# NSG Common Library

NSG common library.

A Python 3 library that contains the basic objects and schemas that NSG tile
caches, or NSG components would need to adhere to.

# Motivation

We wanted a library to contain common geospatial objects and commonly used
 functions to be used acrossed NSG python geospatial libraries and tools.

## Sample Code

Example of calculating resolution width and height:

```python
from nsg.rgi.common.spatial_reference_system import SpatialReferenceSystem
from nsg.rgi.tile_cache.tile_scheme import calc_resolutions

resolution_width, resolution_height = calc_resolutions(bounding_box=SpatialReferenceSystem.NSG_WORLD_GEODETIC.world_bounding_box,
                                                       tile_size=(256, 256),
                                                       zoom_level=1,
                                                       tile_scheme=SpatialReferenceSystem.NSG_WORLD_GEODETIC.tile_scheme)
```

## Installation
pip install nsglib

## Common NSG objects

Some examples of NSG objects include (but not limited to):
* SpatialReferenceSystem
* BoundingBox
* Coordinate

The most common *Spatial Reference Systems* that are defined are
**EPSG:4326, EPSG:3395**, and **EPSG:3857**.
These Spatial Reference Systems can be easily accessed by using the Python Enum:
 `SpatialReferenceSystem.NSG_WORLD_GEODETIC`,
 `SpatialReferenceSystem.NSG_WORLD_MERCATOR`, `SpatialReferenceSystem.WEB_MERCATOR`

The *bounding box* defines an object that holds the extent information in a
particular Coordinate Reference System.

A *Coordinate* is an geographical location on a map. They can be used for
Coordinate Reference System coordinates or tile coordinates.

## Tile Cache NSG Objects

Some examples of Tile Cache objects include(but not limited to):
* Tile
* TileScheme
* AbstractTileCache

A *Tile* has a coordinate location (row, colum, zoom level) and a source.
The coordinate location describes where to place the tile.
The source is the tile data in bytes (the jpeg, png, or vector-tile data).

A *Tile Scheme* is how the world is divided up into tiles based on zoom level.
There is also an implementation included called `ZoomTimesTwo` which is a tile
scheme implementation of a common convention where a tile set's tile matrix
doubles width and height between successive zoom levels.

*Tile Scheme* class also includes functions for calculating the resolution and
scale denominator.

An *AbstractTileCache* are the basic functions that a tile cache should include.
Some example tile caches are [Compact Cache V2](https://gitlab.com/GitLabRGI/nsg/nsg-tile-cache/compact-cache-python),
[GeoPackage](add_url_2_gpkg), and [File based Cache](https://gitlab.com/GitLabRGI/nsg/nsg-tile-cache/file-tile-cache-python).
