Notes for Developers

Setup

Coding Environment

I'm using Visual Studio code as an IDE for this project. It's probably not necessary that you use this IDE to work in this repository, but I'll be customizing some things about the project, i.e. making macros, which will be made to work in VSCode. If you'd like to set up VSCode:

Install VSCode
TODO...

Python Environment

CONDA_ENV=350-chicago-vis
conda create --name $CONDA_ENV python=3.7 -y
conda activate $CONDA_ENV
pip install -r requirements.txt

Other Tools

GIS Visualizations

I'm doing all GIS visualizations in this project using ArcGIS, which tracks project assets online
I'd previously tried to use QGIS
- If sharing work in QGIS, please make use of the Trackable QGIS Project Plugin when committing
