Anotace

V originále

For many years, Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic annually publishes its Statistical Yearbook. This publication provides an overview of the past year's activities of the Fire and Rescue Service. It serves as a valuable data source for the professionals and presents the Fire and Rescue Service to the common public. Two types of data visualization are presented in the Yearbook, the charts of various types (line, bar, stacked bar, grouped bar and pie charts) and choropleth and kernel density map. To make the process of data visualizations less time demanding and error-proof, we decided to automatize it with the Python program, which reads data from the database and according to instructions in configuration files create desired outputs. The process starts with the transfer of all required data to the local SQLite/SpatiaLite database. The data are copied from comma-separated files or the database of the Operational center of Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. The data are read from the local database to the Pandas DataFrame. The data processing is done during the data read operation from the database through the SQL query sent to the database. After that, the Matplotlib library is used for charts creation and the ArcPy library for maps creation. The outputs of the program are the maps or charts images of various formats according to the possibilities provided by the libraries mentioned above and application settings.
