Aim: create a service to generate a list of species expected to occur at a given point based on range maps (polygon intersections)
Credit: conceived and written by Chenyu Shi (@Chenyu-Shi), undergraduate apprentice at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology

File structure

debug.py tests the kmlparserclass.py functions locally

kmlparserclass.py contains all the functions needed to read in and process kml files

ray_casting.py implements the ray casting method

updater.py still needs more work but it contains function to update range maps on a regular basis

viz.py visualizes range maps and query points.

webapi.py puts everything together into a web service

Note on KMZ

These are for testing purposes only; in production we will use the AmphibiaWeb live directory for ranges which is updated regularly.

Updates

Apache server and Python 3 need to installed on the server
