SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Geospatial analysts and engineers often need a fast way to inspect rasters and vectors (including attributes) without setting up heavy desktop GIS workflows or writing custom viewers for every file type.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive raster viewing (viewtif): Quick visual inspection of GeoTIFF and other raster formats, including options like band selection, RGB composites, and overlays.
  • Interactive vector viewing (viewgeom): Explore vector geometries with attribute coloring, filtering, and DuckDB-backed SQL workflows, plus export for downstream GIS use.
  • Terminal inline previews (viewinline): Headless-friendly inline visualization and tabular/summary operations for rasters and vectors, including CSV/Parquet/GeoParquet workflows.

Use Case: You receive an unknown dataset in GeoParquet and need to verify schema, quickly filter by an attribute threshold, and preview the result before deciding how to process it further.

Quick Start

Run geospatial-viewers to preview a dataset by executing viewinline on your input file, for example viewinline yourfile.geoparquet.

Frequently Asked Questions about geospatial-viewers

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I preview a GeoParquet file from the command line?▼

Preview GeoParquet from the command line by running an inline viewer on your file to inspect schema, filter attributes, and display tabular summaries without launching a desktop GIS application.

Can I run SQL queries on vector attributes directly in the terminal?▼

Yes, you can run SQL queries on vector attributes directly in the terminal using built-in DuckDB SQL workflows to filter geometries and preview results before exporting for downstream GIS use.

Does headless rendering work for GeoTIFF raster previews?▼

Headless rendering works for GeoTIFF raster previews through non-interactive inline visualization, allowing you to inspect band selections and raster summaries in terminal-only environments.

What is the best way to inspect vector attributes in a Shapefile without GIS software?▼

Inspecting vector attributes in a Shapefile without GIS software is best done via command-line viewers that support attribute coloring, filtering, and tabular exploration for formats like GeoJSON and GeoPackage.

How do I view RGB composites from NetCDF or HDF rasters in the CLI?▼

View RGB composites from NetCDF or HDF rasters in the CLI by using interactive viewers that support band selection and visual overlays for quick-look inspection of multi-dimensional scientific datasets.

Do I need to install dependencies to preview CSV geospatial data on demand?▼

You do not need to manually install dependencies to preview CSV geospatial data, as the tools operate via on-demand installation and automatically handle format-specific capabilities for vector and raster inspection.
