I have an interesting problem and I'm not sure how to approach it.



I am a newcomer to the GIS world so I'm not 100% confident with the terminology, but I am trying to overlay a grid (fishnet/raster?) over top of a set centroids that I have calculated from the polygons in a given shapefile.



Such that each space in the grid contains exactly one centroid.



I'm not sure if there are any standard methods or theories to accomplish this so I'm just looking for a pointer in the right direction.



Additionally, the code I have been developing is in Python so I would like to stick to that environment.

  • Usually the polygon is overlaid with the fishnet (vector) or grid (raster). If you just have a centroid, the fishnet can be virtual, with the resulting polygons generated on the fly. The complicating factor is the definition of centroid which varies by meaning.

If you use a cell size whose diagonal is smaller than the minimum distance among all pairs of points, no more than one point per cell should happen automatically.



You can find the minimum distance by using (the equivalent of ESRI's) Near tool. Then just do the algebra to get the dimensions of the fishnet grid cells or raster cellsize:



cell_side_length = mindist/sqrt(2)
