Beyond Point-Analyses: Supporting Other Analysis Types

[morganjwilliams]

autopew is largely set up to deal with point analyses, but with a bit of work could support other types of analyses (assuming appropriate IO functions are available) including lines and simple/complex polygons. In order to extend functionality beyond points, to lines or polygons, using shapely might be a good idea (even the point geometry could be useful).

Taking this further, we should later revisit whether it might make sense to use geopandas - although using most ellipsoid-based coordinate reference systems wouldn't make much sense - we'd only be using the geometry aspect and separately implementing affine transforms, or perhaps pyproj's cartesian coordinate system with Easting/Northing.
