JuliaGIS

A package for the visualization and manipulation of geographic data.

JuliaGIS provides a frontend for interacting with geographic data in Julia. The backend is provided by GDAL.jl for raster data, the as-yet unwritten OGR.jl wrapper for vector data, and Images for visualization.

using GIS

allows you to use all of the GIS contained within GDAL, the fictional OGR and any other core GIS packages. Thus using GIS allows you to open_raster("/path/to/raster/file").

display(raster)

converts the raster to a RasterImage type and displays the RasterImage using ImageView

1. Multiple raster display -- this probably requires some messing with GDAL.jl (and maybe OGR to deal with projections)
2. Multi-band raster support -- once this is added to GDAL.jl, a couple of quick tweaks to RasterImage properties will let you display multi-band rasters as RGB images.
