Kerala-Panchayath-Maps

Python project to generate Kerala's distrcit level panchayath map.

As of now, geojson files of Kollam and Kozhikode are added to the folder geojson_files. So other districts won't work.

Usage

Install requirements using

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the below command:

python map_generator.py -d Kollam -f png -c True

Here -f and -c are optional arguements.

For details on arguements, run:

python map_generator.py -h

output:

  	optional arguments:
       		-h, --help            show this help message and exit

       -d DISTRICT, --district DISTRICT
                   District name
                   
       -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                   Output image format (default: png)
                   
       -c CMAP, --cmap CMAP  
               If coloured map is required, use True. else use False.(default : True)

Map file is generated in maps folder.
