+
+### Introduction
+
+`matplotlib_map_utils` is intended to be a package that provides various functions and objects that assist with the the creation of maps using [`matplotlib`](https://matplotlib.org/stable/).
+
+As of `v2.x` (the current version), this includes two tools: 
+
+* `north_arrow.py`, which generates a high quality, context-aware north arrow for a given plot. 
+
+* `scale_bar.py`, which generates a high quality, context-aware scale bar to a given plot. 
+
+Future releases (if the project is continued) might provide a similar tool inset maps, or other functions that I have created myself that give more control in the formatting of maps.
+
+---
+
+### Installation
+
+This package is available on PyPi, and can be installed like so:
+
+```bash
+pip install matplotlib-map-utils
+```
+
+The requirements for this package are:
+
+* `python >= 3.9.0` (due to the dictionary-concatenation method utilized)
+
+* `matplotlib >= 3.9.0` (might work with lower versions but not guaranteed)
+
+* `cartopy >= 0.23.0` (due to earlier bug with calling `copy()` on `CRS` objects)
+
+---
+
+### Package Structure
+
+The package is arrayed in the following way:
+
+```bash
+package_name/
+├── __init__.py
+│
+├── core/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── north_arrow.py
+│   ├── scale_bar.py
+├── validation/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── functions.py
+│   ├── north_arrow.py
+│   └── scale_bar.py
+├── defaults/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── north_arrow.py
+│   └── scale_bar.py
+```
+
+Where:
+
+* `core` contains the main functions and classes for each object
+
+* `validation` contains type hints for each variable and functions to validate inputs
+
+* `defaults` contains default settings for each object at different paper sizes

+
+### North Arrow
+
+<details>
+<summary><i>Expand instructions</i></summary>
+
+#### Quick Start
+
+Importing the North Arrow functions and classes can be done like so:
+
+```py
+from matplotlib_map_utils.core.north_arrow import NorthArrow, north_arrow
+```
+
+The quickest way to add a single north arrow to a single plot is to use the `north_arrow` function:
+
+```python
+# Setting up a plot
+fig, ax = matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(1,1, figsize=(5,5), dpi=150)
+# Adding a north arrow to the upper-right corner of the axis, without any rotation (see Rotation under Formatting Components for details)
+north_arrow.north_arrow(ax=ax, location="upper right", rotation={"degrees":0})
+```
+
+An object-oriented approach is also supported:
+
+```python
+# Setting up a plot
+fig, ax = matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(1,1, figsize=(5,5), dpi=150)
+# Creating a north arrow for the upper-right corner of the axis, without any rotation (see Rotation under Formatting Components for details)
+na = north_arrow.NorthArrow(location="upper right", rotation={"degrees":0})
+# Adding the artist to the plot
+ax.add_artist(na)
+```
+
+Both of these will create an output like the following:
+
+![Example north arrow](matplotlib_map_utils/docs/assets/readme_northarrow.png)
+
+#### Customization
+
+Both the object-oriented and functional approaches can be customized to allow for fine-grained control over formatting:
+
+```python
+north_arrow(
+    ax,
+    location = "upper right", # accepts a valid string from the list of locations
+    scale = 0.5, # accepts a valid positive float or integer
+    # each of the follow accepts arguments from a customized style dictionary
+    base = {"facecolor":"green"},
+    fancy = False,
+    label = {"text":"North"},
+    shadow = {"alpha":0.8},
+    pack = {"sep":6},
+    aob = {"pad":2},
+    rotation = {"degrees": 35}
+)
+```
+
+This will create an output like the following:
+
+![Customized north arrow](matplotlib_map_utils/docs/assets/readme_northarrow_customization.png)
+
+Refer to `docs\howto_north_arrow` for details on how to customize each facet of the north arrow.
+
+#### Rotation
+
+The north arrow object is also capable of pointing towards "true north", given a CRS and reference point:
+
+![Example north arrow rotation](matplotlib_map_utils/docs/assets/readme_northarrow_rotation.png)
+
+Instructions for how to do so can be found in `docs\howto_north_arrow`.
+</details>
+

+
+### Scale Bar
+
+<details>
+<summary><i>Expand instructions</i></summary>
+
+#### Quick Start
+
+Importing the Scale Bar functions and classes can be done like so:
+
+```py
+from matplotlib_map_utils.core.scale_bar import ScaleBar, scale_bar
+```
+
+There are two available styles for the scale bars: `boxes` and `ticks`. The quickest way to add one to a single plot is to use the `scale_bar` function:
+
+```python
+# Setting up a plot
+fig, ax = matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(1,1, figsize=(5,5), dpi=150)
+# Adding a scale bar to the upper-right corner of the axis, in the same projection as whatever geodata you plotted
+# Here, this scale bar will have the "boxes" style
+scale_bar(ax=ax, location="upper right", style="boxes", bar={"projection":3857})
+```
+
+An object-oriented approach is also supported:
+
+```python
+# Setting up a plot
+fig, ax = matplotlib.pyplot.subplots(1,1, figsize=(5,5), dpi=150)
+# Adding a scale bar to the upper-right corner of the axis, in the same projection as whatever geodata you plotted
+# Here, we change the boxes to "ticks"
+sb = ScaleBar(location="upper right", style="boxes", bar={"projection":3857})
+# Adding the artist to the plot
+ax.add_artist(sb)
+```
+
+Both of these will create an output like the following (function is left, class is right):
+
+![Example scale bar](matplotlib_map_utils/docs/assets/readme_scalebar.png)
+
+#### Customization
+
+Both the object-oriented and functional approaches can be customized to allow for fine-grained control over formatting:
+
+```python
+scale_bar(
+    ax,
+    location = "upper right", # accepts a valid string from the list of locations
+    style = "boxes", # accepts a valid positive float or integer
+    # each of the follow accepts arguments from a customized style dictionary
+    bar = {"unit":"mi", "length":2}, # converting the units to miles, and changing the length of the bar (in inches)
+    labels = {"style":"major", "loc":"below"}, # placing a label on each major division, and moving them below the bar
+    units = {"loc":"text"}, # changing the location of the units text to the major division labels
+    text = {"fontfamily":"monospace"}, # changing the font family of all the text to monospace
+)
+```
+
+This will create an output like the following:
+
+![Customized scale bar](matplotlib_map_utils/docs/assets/readme_scalebar_customization.png)
+
+Refer to `docs\howto_scale_bar` for details on how to customize each facet of the scale bar.

+
+### Development Notes
+
+#### Inspiration and Thanks
+
+This project was heavily inspired by [`matplotlib-scalebar`](https://github.com/ppinard/matplotlib-scalebar/), and much of the code is either directly copied or a derivative of that project, since it uses the same "artist"-based approach.
+
+Two more projects assisted with the creation of this script:
+
+* [`EOmaps`](https://github.com/raphaelquast/EOmaps/discussions/231) provided code for calculating the rotation required to point to "true north" for an arbitrary point and CRS for the north arrow.
+
+* [`Cartopy`](https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/2361) fixed an issue inherent to calling `.copy()` on `CRS` objects.
+
+#### Future Roadmap
+
+With the release of `v2.x`, and the addition of **Scale Bar** tools, this project has achieved the two main objectives that I set out to.
+
+If I continue development of this project, I will be looking to add or fix the following features:
+
+* **North Arrow:** 
+
+  * Copy the image-rendering functionality of the Scale Bar to allow for rotation of the entire object, label and arrow together
+  
+  * Create more styles for the arrow, potentiallly including a compass rose and a line-only arrow
+
+* **Scale Bar:**
+
+  * Allow for custom unit definitions (instead of just metres/feet/miles/kilometres/etc.), so that the scale bar can be used on arbitrary plots (such as inches/cm/mm, mathmatical plots, and the like)
+
+  * Fix/improve the `dual_bars()` function, which currently doesn't work great with rotations
+
+  * Clean up the variable naming scheme (consistency on `loc` vs `position`, `style` vs `type`, etc.)
+
+  * Create more styles for the bar, potentiallly including dual boxes and a sawtooth bar
+
+If that goes well, `v3` can then either create a tool for generating inset maps (which `matplotlib` has *some* support for), or the various functions that I have created in the past that assist with formatting a map "properly", such as centering on a given object and coverting FIPS codes.
+
+I am also open to ideas for other extensions to create!
+
+#### Support and Contributions
+
+If you notice something is not working as intended or if you'd like to add a feature yourself, I welcome PRs - just be sure to be descriptive as to what you are changing and why, including code examples!
+
+If you are having issues using this script, feel free to leave a post explaining your issue, and I will try and assist, though I have no guaranteed SLAs as this is just a hobby project.
