rasterix: Raster tricks for Xarray

June 17, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

GitHub Workflow CI Status Documentation Status PyPI Conda-forge

This project contains tools to make it easier to analyze raster data with Xarray. It currently has two pieces.

  1. RasterIndex for indexing using the affine transform recorded in GeoTIFFs.
  2. Dask-aware rasterization wrappers around exactextract, rasterio.features.rasterize, rusterize.rusterize, and rasterio.features.geometry_mask.

Our intent is to provide reusable building blocks for the many sub-ecosystems around: e.g. rioxarray, odc.geo, etc.
