Module gplately.read_geometries

Tools to read geometry data from input files and output them as Shapely geometries. These geometries can be plotted directly with GPlately's PlotTopologies object.

By default, input files are read with GeoPandas and output as a geopandas.GeoSeries object that contains Shapely geometries. If GeoPandas is not found on the system, input files are read with Shapely instead and are still returned as Shapely geometries.

Functions

def get_geometries(filename, buffer=None)

Read a file and return feature geometries.

If geopandas is available, it will be used to read the file, returning a geopandas.GeoSeries. If geopandas is not found, only shapefiles can be read, and a list of shapely geometries will be returned instead of a geopandas.GeoSeries.

Parameters

filename : str
Path to the file to be read.

Returns

geometries : list or geopandas.GeoSeries
shapely geometries that define the feature geometry held in the shapefile. Can be plotted directly using gplately.plot.add_geometries.
