v0.13.0

Release Notes

New Features

• Add a new function called query_3dep_sources for querying bounds of 3DEP's data sources within a bounding box. It returns a geo-dataframe that contains the bounding box of each data source and a column dem_res identifying the resolution of the raw topographic data within each geometry.
• Add a new function called elevation_profile for getting elevation profile along a line at a given spacing. This function converts the line to a B-spline and then calculates the elevation along the spline at a given uniform spacing.

Breaking Changes

• Remove caching-related arguments from all functions since now they can be set globally via three environmental variables:

  • HYRIVER_CACHE_NAME: Path to the caching SQLite database.
  • HYRIVER_CACHE_EXPIRE: Expiration time for cached requests in seconds.
  • HYRIVER_CACHE_DISABLE: Disable reading/writing from/to the cache file.

  You can do this like so:

import os

os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_NAME"] = "path/to/file.sqlite"
os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_EXPIRE"] = "3600"
os.environ["HYRIVER_CACHE_DISABLE"] = "true"
