This is a feature-rich Python implementation of QuadKeys, an approach to geographical tiling, popularized by Microsoft to be used for Bing Maps.
In essence, the concept is to recursively divide the flat, two-dimensional world map into squares. Each square contains four squares as children, which again contain four squares and so on, up centimeter-level precision. Each of these squares is uniquely identifiable with a string like 021030032
.
For more details on the concept, please refer to the original article.
muety/pyquadkey2 originates from a fork of buckhx/QuadKey, which is not maintained anymore. It builds on top of that project and adds:
- β Several (critical) bug fixes
- β Python 3 support
- β Type hints for all methods
- β Higher test coverage
- β Cython backend for improved performance
- β 64-bit integer representation of QuadKeys
- β Additional features and convenience methods
Please note: This library is still in development and not considered 100 % stable. You may want to consider mercantile as an alternative (pure Python) implementation of QuadKeys. Also check What the Tile?.
This library requires Python 3.10 or higher. To compile it from source, Cython is required in addition.
