I am trying to get a DEM raster to line up with a shapefile in Python, but it will not show up no matter what I do. This is for lab exercise, the entire rest of the exercise relies on these lining up, as I will be extracting data from the raster and polygon layers to a point layer.
I know how to do all this "by hand" in ArcGIS, but the point of the exercise is to use R or Python (the professor did an example with R, but we can use whichever, and I have been learning Python the past couple of months for a work project). In the class notes, he says that both files are in EPSG 3847, but the shapefile was missing the CRS, so I added the CRS to it in geopandas.
The DEM appears to be EPSG 3006 (even though it was supposed to be in 3847), so I tried converting it to EPSG 3847 and it still does not show up. So then I tried going the other way and converting the shapefile to EPSG 3006, which did not help either.
import contextily as cx
import geopandas as gpd

from rasterio.crs import CRS
from rasterio.plot import show as rioshow
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#data files
abisveg = gpd.read_file(r'/content/drive/MyDrive/Stackoverflow/Sweden/abisveg_polygon.shp')
abisveg_3847 = abisveg.set_crs(epsg = 3847)
abisveg_3006 = abisveg_3847.to_crs(epsg = 3006)
src = rasterio.open(r'/content/drive/MyDrive/Stackoverflow/Sweden/nh_75_6.tif')
DEM = src.read()
### creating plot grid
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (20,20), constrained_layout = True)
gs = fig.add_gridspec(1,3)
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(gs[0,0])
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(gs[0,1], sharex = ax1, sharey = ax1)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(gs[0,2], sharex = ax1, sharey = ax1)
### Plot 1 - Basemap Only
abisveg_3006.plot(ax = ax1, color = 'none')
cx.add_basemap(ax1, crs = 3006)
ax1.set_aspect('equal')
ax1.set_title("Basemap of AOI")
### Plot 2 - DEM
# abisveg_3847.plot(ax = ax2, color = 'none')
show(DEM, ax=ax2, cmap = "Greys")
cx.add_basemap(ax2, crs = 3006)
ax2.set_aspect('equal')
ax2.set_title('Digitial Elevation Model of AOI')
### Plot 3 - Vegetation Types
abisveg_3006.plot(ax = ax3, column = "VEGKOD", cmap = "viridis")
cx.add_basemap(ax3, crs = 3006)
ax3.set_aspect('equal')
ax3.set_title("Vegetation Types")

Trying to plot the files in Matplotlib has not worked, b/c they do not align at all. I am using contextily for the basemap, and have set the basemap CRS to EPSG 3847 (or 3006, depending on which version of the GIS files I was using). The shapefile shows up in the correct location no matter the projection, but the Raster does not show up. What's weird is that if I open everything up in ArcGIS, it all lines up correctly.
If I plot just the DEM all by itself, it shows up, though I don't know where on the earth it is plotting.
fig = plt.figure(figsize = (10,10), constrained_layout = True)
show(DEM, cmap = "Greys")

You could give EOmaps a try... it uses matplotlib/cartopy for plotting and handles re-projecting the data and shapes to the plot-crs
from pathlib import Path
from eomaps import Maps
import geopandas as gpd
p = Path(r"path to the data folder")
# read shapefile
abisveg = gpd.read_file(p / 'abisveg_polygon.shp').set_crs(epsg = 3847)
# create a map in epsg=3006
m = Maps(crs=3006, figsize=(10, 8))
# add stamen-terrain basemap
m.add_wms.OpenStreetMap.add_layer.stamen_terrain()
# plot shapefile (zorder=2 to be on top of the DEM)
m.add_gdf(abisveg, column=abisveg.VEGKOD, cmap="viridis", ec="k", lw=0.2, alpha=0.5, zorder=2)
# plot DEM
m2 = m.new_layer_from_file.GeoTIFF(p / "nh_75_6.tif", cmap="Greys", zorder=1)
m.ax.set_extent((589913.0408156103, 713614.6619114348, 7495264.310799116, 7618965.93189494),

Using the OSMnx library, I'm trying to draw lines as polygons on top of a base map (with per-defined coordinates not adhering to the underlying network), but with no luck. I'm certain that the coordinates I have are inside of the boundary, and I get no error when adding them.
Here's my current code, which generates the base map and also adds a multi polygon layer below the network. So it's possible to add polygons, which makes me think there might a projection issue with my coordinates, but I haven't had any luck setting different projections.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I want to plot the average daily temperature from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory's Physical Sciences Division onto a map created with matplotlib's Basemap.
The dataset can be download as a netCDF-file from here.
My problem is, however, that Basemap seems not to store the center (or boundary box) coordinates of the map as the subsequent overplot only fills part of the map, see the following figure:
The code to generate the figure is as follows:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import netCDF4
# to check whether a file exists (before downloading it)
import os.path
import sys
fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots(1,1, figsize=(8,6) )
temperature_fname = 'air.sig995.2016.nc'
url = 'https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/thredds/fileServer/Datasets/ncep.reanalysis.dailyavgs/surface/{0}'.format( temperature_fname)
if not os.path.isfile( temperature_fname ):
print( "ERROR: you need to download the file {0}".format(url) )
sys.exit(1)
# read netCDF4 dataset
tmprt_dSet = netCDF4.Dataset( temperature_fname )
# extract (copy) the relevant data
tmprt_vals = tmprt_dSet.variables['air'][:] - 273.15
tmprt_lat = tmprt_dSet.variables['lat'][:]
tmprt_lon = tmprt_dSet.variables['lon'][:]
# close dataset
tmprt_dSet.close()
# use the Miller projection
map1 = Basemap( projection='mill', resolution='l',
lon_0=0., lat_0=0.
)
# draw coastline, map-boundary
map1.drawcoastlines()
map1.drawmapboundary( fill_color='white' )
# draw grid
map1.drawparallels( np.arange(-90.,90.,30.), labels=[1,0,0,0] )
map1.drawmeridians( np.arange(-180.,180.,60.),labels=[0,0,0,1] )
# overplot temperature
## make the longitude and latitude grid projected onto map
tmprt_x, tmprt_y = map1(*np.meshgrid(tmprt_lon,tmprt_lat))
## make the contour plot
CS1 = map1.contourf( tmprt_x, tmprt_y, tmprt_vals[0,:,:],
cmap=plt.cm.jet
)
cbar1 = map1.colorbar( CS1, location='right' )
cbar1.set_label( r'$T$ in $^\circ$C')
plt.show()
Note: if I set lon_0=180 everything looks fine (it is just not the center position I would like to have)
I have the feeling that the solution is pretty obvious and I would appreciate any hint pointing me into that direction.
As commented, the data is aranged from 0 to 360 instead of -180 to 180. So you would need to
map the range between 180 and 360 degrees to -180 to 0.
move the second half of the data in front of the first half, such that it is sorted ascendingly.
Adding the following piece of code in between your data extraction and the plotting function would do that.
# map lon values to -180..180 range
f = lambda x: ((x+180) % 360) - 180
tmprt_lon = f(tmprt_lon)
# rearange data
ind = np.argsort(tmprt_lon)
tmprt_lon = tmprt_lon[ind]
tmprt_vals = tmprt_vals[:, :, ind]

This is challenging. I split the data array into 2 parts. The first part spans from 0° to 180°E longitude. The second part lying on the west side of 0° need longitude shift of 360°.

Both answers posted so far are a solution to my question (thank you, ImportanceOfBeingErnest and swatchai).
I thought, however, that there must be a simpler way to do this (and by simple I mean some Basemap utility). So I looked again into the documentation [1] and found something which I overlooked so far: mpl_toolkits.basemap.shiftgrid. The following two lines need to be added to the code:
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import shiftgrid
tmprt_vals, tmprt_lon = shiftgrid(180., tmprt_vals, tmprt_lon, start=False)
Note that the second line has to be added before the meshgrid call.

I have a geotiff raster data sets with elevation data init and i want to plot it in specific area, such as 60°E - 70° E ,70°S - 80°E.
I have a bit of code from here,but the pcolormesh seem couldn't plot my geotif.it's all red. picture. The picture is shown by imshow as really picture
When I try to make a plot with this code below:
path = "F:\\Mosaic_h1112v28_ps.tif"
dataset = gdal.Open(path)
data = dataset.ReadAsArray()
x0, dx, dxdy, y0, dydx, dy = dataset.GetGeoTransform()
nrows, ncols = data.shape
londata = np.linspace(x0, x0+dx*ncols)
latdata = np.linspace(y0, y0+dy*nrows)
lons, lats = np.meshgrid(lonarray, latarray)
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
m = Basemap(projection='lcc', lon_0=67.5, lat_0=-68.5, height=950000,
width=580000, resolution='h')
m.drawcoastlines()
x, y = m(lons, lats)
Then i dont know how to continue it . I just want to use imshow, but the imshow dont specify area(lat/lon).
I will really appreciate your help.
It's a good question, here is my solution.
Required packages: georaster with its dependencies (gdal, etc).
Data for demo purposes downloadable from http://dwtkns.com/srtm/
import georaster
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,8))
# full path to the geotiff file
fpath = r"C:\\path_to_your\geotiff_file\srtm_57_10.tif" # Thailand east
# read extent of image without loading
# good for values in degrees lat/long
# geotiff may use other coordinates and projection
my_image = georaster.SingleBandRaster(fpath, load_data=False)
# grab limits of image's extent
minx, maxx, miny, maxy = my_image.extent
# set Basemap with slightly larger extents
# set resolution at intermediate level "i"
m = Basemap( projection='cyl', \
llcrnrlon=minx-2, \
llcrnrlat=miny-2, \
urcrnrlon=maxx+2, \
urcrnrlat=maxy+2, \
resolution='i')
m.drawcoastlines(color="gray")
m.fillcontinents(color='beige')
# load the geotiff image, assign it a variable
image = georaster.SingleBandRaster( fpath, \
load_data=(minx, maxx, miny, maxy), \
latlon=True)
# plot the image on matplotlib active axes
# set zorder to put the image on top of coastlines and continent areas
# set alpha to let the hidden graphics show through
plt.imshow(image.r, extent=(minx, maxx, miny, maxy), zorder=10, alpha=0.6)
plt.show()
The resulting plot:

My original answer places focus on how to plot simple geotiff image on the most basic projection with Basemap. A better answer was not possible without access to all required resources (i.e. geotiff file).
Here I try to improve my answer.
I have clipped a small portion from whole world geotiff file. Then reproject (warp) it to LCC projection specifications defined by Basemap() to be used. All the process were done with GDAL softwares. The resulting file is named "lcc_2.tiff". With this geotiff file, the plotting of the image is done with the code below.
The most important part is that geotiff file must have the same coordinate system (same projection) as the projection used by Basemap.
import georaster
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,8))
m = Basemap(projection='lcc', lon_0=67.5, lat_0=-68.5, \
height=950000, width=580000, resolution='h')
m.drawcoastlines()
m.fillcontinents(color='beige')
image = georaster.SingleBandRaster( "lcc_2.tiff", latlon=False)
plt.imshow(image.r, extent=image.extent, zorder=10, alpha=0.6)
plt.show()
The output map:
Here is my solution.
1. Import GEOTIF file and transform it into 2-D array data
from osgeo import gdal
pathToRaster = r'./xxxx.tif'
raster = gdal.Open(pathToRaster, gdal.GA_ReadOnly)
data = raster.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray()
data = data[::-1]
2. Plot it using Pcolormesh
kk = plt.pcolormesh(data,cmap = plt.cm.Reds,alpha = 0.45, zorder =2)
You can use rioxarray
import rioxarray as rio
ds = rio.open_rasterio(path)
# Example lat lon range for subset
geometries = [
{
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates': [[
[33.97301017665958, -118.45830810580743],
[33.96660083660732, -118.37455741054782],
[33.92304171545437, -118.37151348516299],
[33.915042933806724, -118.42909440702563]
]]
}
]
clipped = ds.rio.clip(geometries)
clipped.plot()
