good methods for boolean operations on overlapping polygons
- by BenjaminGolder
What is the best open source library for performing boolean operations (union, intersect, subtract) on shapefiles? What do you like to use?
OGR looks like it probably has this capability, though I'm having trouble finding the particular commands in their documentation.
Shapely definitely does this, and is easy to understand.
PostGIS appears to also have some commands for this.
But there must be more, and I'm having trouble finding them.
I don't have much experience with any of the, and would appreciate any opinions on these or other libraries.
Thanks!
