>>> from mappymatch.constructs.road import Road, RoadId
>>> from mappymatch.constructs.match import Match
>>> from shapely.geometry import LineString
>>>
>>> # Create a successful match

>>> road = Road(RoadId('1', '2', 0), LineString([(0, 0), (1, 1)]))
>>> match = Match(road=road, coordinate=coord, distance=5.2)
>>>
>>> # Check if matching was successful
>>> if match.road is not None:
...     print(f"Matched to road with distance: {match.distance}m")
>>>
>>> # Create a failed match (no road found)
>>> no_match = Match(road=None, coordinate=coord, distance=float('inf'))
```

```python
>>> matcher = ValhallaMatcher()
>>> trace = Trace.from_csv('gps_data.csv')
>>> result = matcher.match_trace(trace)
>>>
>>> # Access results
>>> print(f"Matched {len(result.matches)} points")
>>> print(f"Path has {len(result.path)} road segments")
>>>
>>> # Check road metadata from Valhalla
>>> for road in result.path[:5]:
...     print(f"Speed: {road.metadata['speed_mph']} mph")
...     print(f"Length: {road.metadata['length_miles']} miles")

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_autosummary/mappymatch.constructs.geofence.html

Converts a geofence to a GeoJSON string and writes it to a file. The geofence is automatically transformed to WGS84 (EPSG:4326) if it is in a different CRS.

```python
>>> geofence = Geofence.from_trace(trace, padding=1000)
>>> geojson_str = geofence.to_geojson()
>>> # Write to file
>>> with open('boundary.geojson', 'w') as f:
...     f.write(geojson_str)
```

### LineSnapMatcher class definition and constructor

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_modules/mappymatch/matchers/line_snap.html

Defines the LineSnapMatcher class with its constructor. The class docstring explains its purpose, use cases, and provides a usage example.

```python
class LineSnapMatcher(MatcherInterface):
    """
    A simple, fast map matcher that snaps each GPS point to the nearest road segment.

    This is the most basic matching approach - it independently matches each GPS coordinate
    to its nearest road without considering the overall trajectory or road network topology.
    While fast and simple to implement, it may produce unrealistic results where the matched
    path jumps between disconnected roads.

    Use this matcher when:
    - You need very fast matching performance
    - GPS data is very accurate and roads are well-separated
    - You only need point-to-road snapping, not path reconstruction

    For more sophisticated matching that considers path continuity and network topology,
    use LCSSMatcher, ValhallaMatcher, or OsrmMatcher instead.

    Args:
        road_map: The road network to match against (must implement MapInterface)

    Attributes:
        map: The road network being used for matching

    Examples:
        >>> from mappymatch.matchers.line_snap import LineSnapMatcher
        >>> from mappymatch.maps.nx import NxMap
        >>>
        >>> # Load a road network
        >>> road_map = NxMap.from_file('network.pickle')
        >>>
        >>> # Create the matcher
        >>> matcher = LineSnapMatcher(road_map)
        >>> result = matcher.match_trace(trace)
        >>>
        >>> # Each point is matched independently
        >>> for match in result.matches:
        ...     print(f"Distance to road: {match.distance}m")
    """

    def __init__(self, road_map: MapInterface):
        self.map = road_map
```

### Load a GPX trace with Trace.from_gpx

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_autosummary/mappymatch.constructs.trace.html

>>> trace = Trace.from_gpx('morning_run.gpx')

>>> # Keep in lat/lon instead of projecting
>>> trace_latlon = Trace.from_gpx('bike_ride.gpx', xy=False)

### Downsample a trace with Trace.downsample

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_autosummary/mappymatch.constructs.trace.html

Shows how to reduce a trace to a specified number of evenly-spaced points using linear interpolation. The example reduces a 1000-point trace to 100 points.

```python
>>> # Reduce a 1000-point trace to 100 points
>>> long_trace = Trace.from_csv('detailed_track.csv')
>>> print(len(long_trace))  # 1000
>>> short_trace = long_trace.downsample(100)
>>> print(len(short_trace))  # 100
```

### Create geofence from trace

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_sources/examples/lcss_example.ipynb

Builds a geofence around the trace with a padding of 2000 meters (in the trace's projected units).

```python
from mappymatch.constructs.geofence import Geofence

geofence = Geofence.from_trace(trace, padding=2e3)
```

### Coordinate class definition and methods (Python)

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_modules/mappymatch/constructs/coordinate.html

Full source code of the Coordinate class, including attributes, constructor, property methods, and to_crs transformation. The example demonstrates usage of Coordinate.from_lat_lon and to_crs in docstrings.

```python
from __future__ import annotations

import math
from typing import Any, NamedTuple

from pyproj import CRS, Transformer
from pyproj.exceptions import ProjError
from shapely.geometry import Point

from mappymatch.utils.crs import LATLON_CRS




[docs]
class Coordinate(NamedTuple):
    """
    Represents a single geographic coordinate point with a coordinate reference system (CRS).

    A Coordinate is an immutable object that combines a spatial point geometry with its
    coordinate reference system, allowing for accurate coordinate transformations between
    different projection systems.

    Attributes:
        coordinate_id: The unique identifier for this coordinate (can be any hashable type)
        geom: The Shapely Point geometry representing the spatial location
        crs: The pyproj CRS (Coordinate Reference System) defining the coordinate space
        x: The x-coordinate value (longitude in lat/lon systems, easting in projected systems)
        y: The y-coordinate value (latitude in lat/lon systems, northing in projected systems)

    Examples:
        >>> from mappymatch.constructs.coordinate import Coordinate
        >>> # Create a coordinate from latitude and longitude
        >>> coord = Coordinate.from_lat_lon(40.7128, -74.0060)
        >>> print(coord.x, coord.y)
        -74.0060 40.7128

        >>> # Transform to a different CRS (Web Mercator)
        >>> web_mercator = coord.to_crs('EPSG:3857')
        >>> print(web_mercator.crs.to_epsg())
        3857

### NxMap basic usage: load, create, query, save

Source: https://natlabrockies.github.io/mappymatch/_autosummary/mappymatch.maps.nx.nx_map.html

Shows typical NxMap usage: loading from a pickle, creating from a geofence with OSMnx data, performing routing and nearest-road queries, and saving back to a file. Requires a pyproj CRS in graph.graph['crs'] and road geometries.

```python
>>> from mappymatch.maps.nx import NxMap
>>> from mappymatch.constructs.geofence import Geofence
>>>
>>> # Load from a saved file
>>> road_map = NxMap.from_file('network.pickle')
>>>
>>> # Create from OpenStreetMap data
>>> geofence = Geofence.from_geojson('study_area.geojson')
>>> road_map = NxMap.from_geofence(
...     geofence,
...     network_type=NetworkType.DRIVE,
...     xy=True  # Use Web Mercator for accurate distances
... )
>>>
>>> # Use the map for routing and queries
>>> nearest = road_map.nearest_road(coordinate)
>>> path = road_map.shortest_path(origin, destination)
>>>
>>> # Save for later use
>>> road_map.to_file('network.pickle')
```
