Python Custom KML Points, Lines, Polygons, Circles

In this python tutorial, we will go over how to create custom KML map layers with points, lines, polygons, and circles using the simplekml and polycircles modules.

Wow inner outer polygon that what I've been looking for! Thank you

Nice video, love simplekml. I use it in combination with arcpy to output richer KML from ArcGIS Pro (timestamps, better symbology, etc) than what ArcGIS supports out-of-the-box.

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I've been looking for!

Hi if i have a satellite footprint in kml format is it possible to find if two coordinates fall in the footprint or no using pykml? Please advice

@RyanNoonan Great job for this video. I'll be happy if you can help with these two questions: 1) subprocess.call(['open', lines_kml_path]) is giving error. I don't know what is wrong probably the function has been deprecated. 2) Can you help if I want to create several polygons in a single kml with a dataset in csv? Once again, thanks for this great tutorial.

can i use this script in power bi ? I am trying to plot concentric circle of 50, 100, 200 miles around a point whose lat and long i am aware of.

Thank you dear, That was perfect, just i need to draw slice of circle, is there any option for that?

[yacinebenalia]

Thanks Ryan, Can I publish the final map online, and how do I do that?

Which library is the best: fastkml, simplekml or pykml? Talking about documentation and easy to code.

Hello there, thanks for the video, just wondering, with these python packages, it is possible to draw polygons in .kmz file for Google Heart too?

Hello, I want to know, if you know how to create a semicircle

[VitorPrestes]

How can I plot lines on surface (Orthodromic curves)?

[רוניפינקל]

if I have GPS text file with lat, long and I do square or circle how can I know if the GPS text file points are inside the shape or outside
anyway it's a helpful video.

[ManiS-prui]

Is there a way to read the lat and long from file and pass through?

[raafsports]

Hello Ryan, Thank you for the video.



I have a question about a similar task.
I am new to python and I need your support in a small task.

I drew a line manually on google earth around 10 m using the feature “Draw Line” by connecting 10 points so basically by clicking 10 times to get the complete line because I need the distance between each point to be 1 m.

Now the question is, how can I do that in a python script automatically? I need to do it for longer lines and there must be a way to do it in python.




I would be very thankful for any assistance.
Thank you in advance

If we have a list of points how to put a different icon for each one?

hey Ryan, maybe you know how to find in the coordinates of a point on the kml path when I have the distance from the starting point?

Hi Ryan. Very nice work! I have a question, maybe you can answer me! Can I asociate two poligons with a name?
