It adds support for describing how raster assets should be visualized, including parameters like rescaling ranges, color maps, mathematical expressions, and tile matrix set configurations. This is useful when working with STAC catalogs that contain imagery or raster data and you need to encode rendering hints alongside the asset metadata.\n\nThe package is tightly coupled to pystac-core and provides extension methods or classes that integrate with PySTAC's item and asset model. It targets developers building STAC catalogs, working with geospatial imagery platforms, or maintaining raster data repositories where visualization metadata is part of the catalog specification.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or extending STAC catalogs with raster imagery and need to encode standardized visualization metadata. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is minimal. If you are not working with STAC catalogs or do not need render extension support, this package is not relevant."},"id":"pystac-ext-render","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-render","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-render.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-render/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-render","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Render extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981630,"position":2426,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
