Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today
https://grass.osgeo.org/
GRASS GIS offers powerful raster, vector, and geospatial processing engines in a single integrated software suite. It includes tools for terrain and ecosystem modeling, hydrology, visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery. It comes with a temporal framework for advanced time series processing and a Python API for rapid geospatial programming. GRASS GIS has been optimized for performance and large geospatial data analysis. -
What's missing from C# in Godot 4?
We haven't looked at integrating GRASS yet, as we're more interested in data display, not deep analysis. Just another example of a C/C++ library with front end bindings for Python. Numbers are crunched in C/C++, results returned to Python.

Building a Dynamic Tile Server Using Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF(COG) with TiTiler
TiTiler is a dynamic tile server built on FastAPI and Rasterio/GDAL. Its main features include support for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF(COG), multiple projection methods, various output formats (JPEG, JP2, PNG, WEBP, GTIFF, NumpyTile), WMTS, and virtual mosaic. It also provides Lambda and ECS deployment environments using AWS CDK.

Company decided to move away from AutoCAD to something cheaper...
GDAL is the real heart, the python aspect is mostly wrappers around that I'm fairly sure. I love python for the record, the only reason I bring it up, is cause python haters accuse it of being slow, but QGIS drops down to C++ when speed is necessary, like most modern packages do.

What's missing from C# in Godot 4?
GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) is a the geospatial data processing library. It handles a lot of Raster/Vector analysis and alteration. gdal_contour and gdal_rasterize which would be used to create isolines (contour lines) . There's more complex processing and analyses than that. More common is reprojecting multiple layers, and some that being as Vector files, into different coordiatne systems.

Not sure if I'm ready to make the jump from Unity yet.
As an example we use GDAL heavily through its C# binds. We do all the additional data processing, that isn't done by the C++ GDAL, in C#. The final results are both Data (held in memory or temp exported to a file), and a normalized Raster Texture that we can display on a TextureRect. Most of the C# data processing scripts aren't even Inheriting from any Godot Class.

What data structure should I use for reading data from a .shp file?
I think this would be the best way to handle this. GDAL is what you should look into for this project.
- GDAL v3.6.2 released
