Hello! I am attempting to plot a series of latitude and longitude coordinates, then create a convex hull around the set of point to obtain the acreage. I know how to do this in ArcGIS Pro, but I'd like to do it using python in Notebooks to be able to filter out some data before creating the calculation. Any suggestion for resources to look at or methods to go about this?
