NCGSre

NCGSre is a Python library designed for working with the NCGS (National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis) format. This format is commonly used for storing geographical data, particularly in the context of remote sensing and geospatial analysis. The NCGSre library provides tools for reading, writing, and manipulating data in this specific file structure.

The primary purpose of NCGSre is to simplify the process of accessing and processing NCGS files within a Python environment. It aims to abstract away the complexities of the file format, allowing users to focus on the data itself rather than the underlying storage mechanism. This can be particularly useful for researchers and developers working with large datasets that are already in the NCGS format.

Key functionalities of the library include the ability to parse NCGS files to extract various types of information, such as metadata, image bands, and associated data arrays. It also offers methods for creating or modifying NCGS files, enabling users to prepare or transform their data before saving it in this format. The library is developed with ease of use and efficiency in mind, aiming to integrate smoothly into existing geospatial workflows.
