Vgridtools¶

Vgridtools - Vgrid DGGS Plugin for QGIS

Vgridtools supports a wide range of popular geodesic DGGS, including H3, S2, A5, rHEALPix, Open-EAGGR ISEA4T, ISEA3H, DGGRID, DGGAL, EASE-DGGS, QTM, along with graticule-based DGGS such as OLC, Geohash, MGRS, GEOREF, TileCode, Quadkey, Maidenhead, and GARS.

Full Vgridtools DGGS documentation is available at vgridtools document.

To work with Vgrid DGGS directly in Python or CLI, install vgrid. Full Vgrid Python documentation is available at vgrid document.

To work with Vgrid DGGS directly in GeoPandas and Pandas, use the vgridpandas package. Full Vgridpandas DGGS documentation is available at vgridpandas document.

To visualize DGGS in Maplibre GL JS, try the vgrid-maplibre library.

Vgridtools installation¶

Vgrid Plugin requires the vgrid Python package to work properly. This means that before you can use the plugin, you must ensure that the vgrid package is installed in the Python environment that QGIS is using.

How you install vgrid depends on the type of QGIS installation you are using:

OSGeo4W QGIS¶

Open OSGeo4W Shell and run the following command before (or after) installing Vgrid Plugin

1	`pip install vgrid --upgrade`

Standalone QGIS¶

After installing Vgrid Plugin, a dialog will appear prompting you to install vgrid. Copy the following commands

import pip  
pip.main(['install', 'vgrid','--upgrade'])

When QGIS starts, navigate to Plugins → Python Console, select Show Editor, paste the copied commands, and click Run Script.¶

DGGS Visualization¶

Visualize DGGSs interactively.¶

Latlon to DGGS¶

Click and zoom to DGGS cells.¶
