Python and R Code
The social network visualization described in this section is generated with the Python code SocialNetworks_GIS_Example.py, and requires the files capitalCities_LatitudeLongitude.csv and ESC2018_GF.xls. A Jupyter Notebook (SocialNetworks_GIS_Example.ipynb) is available for this code. The code for converting Latitude/Longitude to Degrees/Minutes/Seconds is provided (GIS_Example.py).
In addition, an introductory example and lab for a GIS application in R is available (GIS_Density_Mapping_Example.R). A corresponding interactive Jupyter notebook (GIS_Density_Mapping_Example.ipynb) for this R script is also available.
