ToxPiGIS Toolkit

ToxPiGIS Toolkit integrates the Toxicological Prioritization Index (ToxPi) framework with ArcGIS to generate geospatial ToxPi diagrams for multi-domain environmental and public-health data visualization and analysis.

Key Features:

• Integration with ArcGIS: Integrates ToxPi diagrams into ArcGIS geospatial data layers for map-based visualization.
• Interactive Feature Layers: Generates interactive feature layers that embed ToxPi diagrams representing multi-slice data attributes.
• ArcGIS Toolbox (ToxPiToolbox.tbx): Provides an ArcGIS Toolbox (ToxPiToolbox.tbx) to draw geographically located ToxPi diagrams onto feature layers within ArcGIS Pro.
• Modular Python Scripts: Includes Python scripts to create predesigned layer files containing ToxPi feature layers from the command line.
• Data Manipulation and Preprocessing Routines: Includes Python routines for data manipulation and preprocessing to prepare datasets for ToxPi diagram generation.
• Customization Options: Provides options to customize ToxPi diagrams and layer parameters.

Scientific Applications:

• Environmental studies: Integrates multiple exposure and environmental indicator domains into single geospatial visualizations.
• Epidemiology: Visualizes multi-domain drivers of disease vulnerability and spatial risk.
• Urban planning: Supports incorporation of diverse socio-environmental metrics into spatial planning analyses.
• Public health research: Facilitates comparative analysis of population-level health vulnerability across geographic units.
• COVID-19 vulnerability analysis: Applied to analyze COVID-19 pandemic vulnerability across U.S. counties by comparing various drivers of risk.

Methodology:

The toolkit uses ArcGIS capabilities combined with the ToxPi framework to generate feature layers that incorporate ToxPi diagrams, which are embedded into GIS maps for interactive visualization and spatial analysis.
