Shotcharts Revisited - From NBA Stats to Feature Service in Less Than 20 Lines of Code
About two years ago, I wrote about creating shotcharts in ArcGIS using Python and arcpy. With recent enhancements to the ArcGIS API for Python, I can do this all in Python and I can to this in less than 20 lines of code! (A guest post by Gregory Brunner)
Analyzing Landsat Image Metadata with the Spatial DataFrame
A few weeks ago, Esri released an update to the ArcGIS API for Python. The new functionality in the API that I am most excited about is the spatial dataframe! The spatial dataframe extends the pandas dataframe by adding geometry, spatial reference, and other spatial components to the dataframe. (A guest post by Gregory Brunner)
How to Create Pitch Charts with Python
I have been interested in looking at MLB pitch data and play-by-play for a while now, however, I have not found any good blog posts or tutorials for doing this. So during the MLB Playoffs, while I was checking the score of Cubs vs. Dodgers Game 5 on Yahoo! it struck me that there is probably a way to get the live game data from Yahoo! while the game is in progress. So I poked around and found that there is! In this post, I will review what I found and how to use the data to make pitch charts using the data from World Series Game 7.

How to Map the Infrared Universe with Astropy and ArcGIS
I love astronomy. In a previous life, I was fortunate to study astronomy and work with some of the coolest hyperspectral data collected by the Spitzer Space Telescope. So since joining Esri five years ago, I’ve had it on my mind to use ArcGIS to map the infrared universe using observations from Spitzer Space Telescope; observations with which I already have some familiarity.

Mapping NBA Player Movement in 2D and 3D
For this post, I’m going to describe some approaches to visualize an entire game of movement data with common GIS techniques and tools and use some really cool GIS visualization techniques to display the data and compare player movement maps. (A guest post by Gregory Brunner)
