Does neo4j support raster geospatial data?

Neo4j Graph Platform Cypher

I am new to neo4j and doing a POC on geospatial data. I have a query 'Does neo4j support raster geospatial data?'

Not sure what you mean with raster but neo4j supports both lat, lon, height as well as x,y,z geospatial data.

Raster data consists of pixel values in an image, whereas vector has shape files like point, line and polygon..

Hi Michael, Could you please help me in installing neo4j spatial plugin

Hi Michael, I installed neo4j-spatial-0.27.0-neo4j-4.0.3-server-plugin from Releases · neo4j-contrib/spatial · GitHub

but getting following error: Neo.ClientError.Procedure.ProcedureRegistrationFailed
with message 'spatial.procedures is unavailable because it is sandboxed and has dependencies outside of the sandbox. Sandboxing is controlled by the dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted setting. Only unrestrict procedures you can trust with access to database internals.'

Could you please help me here...

Add the following line to your neo4j settings

dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=spatial.*

Put your shape files into the import folder and use relative paths:
