GIS Geographic Information System is a system intends to capture, Store, manage, manipulate, analyze the data. GIS system integrate data and convert it into maps. And as we know visuals are more powerful than words so it makes our understanding of data fast.

What is GIS ?

GIS is a tool to acquire geographic data and produce Geographic information. And generally those information are stored in tabular form. GIS can be defined as a “computer information system that can input, store, manipulate, analyze, and display geographically referenced (spatial) data to support decision making processes”.

Simply GIS visualize your data as a map. And these visualization makes the study interesting with interactive maps. It saves the time and make the system decisiveness that is main requirement.

Add GIS data from IGISMap (Now MAPOG) GIS data collection

Data science and machine learning are the latest trend in education. This is due to the high demand for skilled labour in analytics and programming to extract information from raw data. In today’s world, almost all industries from social media to national security relies on data and information for decision making. Geoinformatics and location intelligence also plays an important role in research and business pointing out the relevance of geospatial data.

IGISMap(Now named as MAPOG) contains the collection of highly accurate GIS data representing several countries. This data collection contains administrative boundaries such as country, states, districts, roads, railway lines, and other geographical features such as roads, farmlands, waterbody, etc. These data are made available for 30+ countries, and 51 US states, available in point, line, and polygon shapes based on the spatial structure. These data are collected from official sources of the respective countries and other websites of trusted international organizations

There are two IGISMap tools (MAPOG Tools) to access these data – Add GIS Data and Download GIS Data tools. This article will demonstrate the usage of Add GIS Data tool by downloading polygon, polyline and point.

Generate Voronoi Polygon from the GIS data

Developing polygon boundaries from GIS points is an important geostatistical process. IGISMap provides a Point to Polygon tool to create polygons from the point of input point GIS data. Conversion of point to polygon in IGISMap is based on Voronoi theorem. These polygons are called Voronoi polygons. In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a division of a plane into regions close to each of a particular set of objects. The Voronoi polygon created for each point represents the area of influence from the input point location such that any position within the polygon is closer to that point than any other point. Here we generate Voronoi polygon from the gis data.

IGISMap is a web-based platform that powers many of the most important GIS applications in the field of geospatial analysis. The uniqueness of IGISMap in the GIS industry is that it’s UI/UX helps users to perform geospatial operations easily. In IGISMap, you can upload your GIS data and perform geospatial analysis.

In this article, we will see how to make use of the point GIS data from the IGISMap GIS data collection for creating polygon GIS data.

Click the below link to open the Point to Polygon tool directly

https://map.igismap.com/point-to-polygon

Add input point data

After opening Point to Polygon tool, first step is to add the required point GIS data. There are multiple options to add the required data, which are:

Select
Create Points
Upload Vector
Upload CSV/Excel
Add GIS Data

Among these options, we will choose Add GIS Data to add a point GIS data from IGISMap GIS data collection.

Add GIS Data option will be selected as default. Thus we will continue to add the required point GIS data for creating voronoi polygons.

Adding the GIS data

In this article, we will elaborate about the entire process for generating Voronoi polygon from the GIS data which will add from Add GIS Data in Point to Polygon tool. So we have to select the country which we want to add for creating a polygon after appearing in the Add GIS Data section. we can easily search the required country by the Search Country section.

For demonstration, let’s choose point GIS data of Airport locations in France for the demonstration. Browse for France in the Search Country search bar.

After selecting the country, browse airport point data from the list of data provided for France. You can also use Search Layer option for searching the data. After finding the required data, click on the name of the layer to preview the layer in the map. Click Add Layer icon to continue with the data.

France Airport Points — France Airport Locations

Moving on, the Crop Layer option will appear. Since we are going to add the whole data, let’s select Add Layer option to publish the GIS data of airport points on the map.

Converting the point data

Now we have added the required data to the map, let’s continue to create Voronoi polygons from the input points GIS data. In the Convert Layer section, click Convert button to start the conversion.

Generate Voronoi Polygon from the GIS data — Convert Layer

As you can see below, voronoi polygons are created for each point in the point GIS data.

You can download this polygon GIS data in any important GIS format such as shapefile, KML, GeoJSON or CSV file. Or you can choose to use this data for further processing in IGISMap itself for visualization and analysis.
