Python package · web app coming soon

AcadGIS¶

Publication-ready academic GIS study-area maps — boundaries, choropleths, terrain, rivers and locator insets — in a few lines of Python.

Get started Install GitHub

import acadgis as agis

# The whole locator figure in one call — pick a template
agis.study_area(
    "Bangladesh",
    steps=[("division", "Dhaka"), ("district", "Madaripur")],
    template="cascade", terrain=True,
)

A study-area locator figure: country → region, generated in one call.

What AcadGIS does¶

Boundaries on demand¶

Country → state → district → sub-district, by name, from GADM — cached after first use. Read more

Styled maps¶

12 palettes, 6 themes, north arrows, scale bars, graticules and legends in one call. Read more

Choropleths¶

Join a spreadsheet to regions with automatic fuzzy name matching. Read more

Study-area layouts¶

The signature multi-panel figure — five presets, fully customizable. Read more

Terrain & relief¶

Shaded relief and elevation tint from a 30 m global DEM — no API key. Read more

Rivers & hydrology¶

Natural Earth or dense OpenStreetMap river networks and water bodies. Read more

Collected data points¶

Plot sampling sites as graduated symbols, sized and coloured by value. Read more

Publication export¶

PNG, PDF or SVG at any DPI — journal-ready by default. Read more
