GeoDataFrame.clip_by_rect

Returns a GeoSeries of the portions of geometry within the given rectangle. The geometry is clipped to the rectangle defined by the given coordinates. Geometries that do not intersect the rectangle are returned as empty polygons (POLYGON EMPTY).

This implementation uses ST_Intersection with a rectangle envelope, which may produce slightly different results from geopandas’ clip_by_rect in edge cases: - Non-intersecting geometries are returned as POLYGON EMPTY, whereas geopandas returns GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY. - Points on the boundary of the rectangle are considered intersecting and are returned unchanged, whereas geopandas returns GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY for boundary-only intersections.

Examples

>>> from sedona.spark.geopandas import GeoSeries
>>> from shapely.geometry import Polygon, LineString, Point
>>> s = GeoSeries(
...     [
...         Polygon([(0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2), (0, 2)]),
...         LineString([(0, 0), (2, 2)]),
...         Point(0.5, 0.5),
...     ],
... )

>>> s.clip_by_rect(0, 0, 1, 1)
0    POLYGON ((0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 1 0, 0 0))
1                   LINESTRING (0 0, 1 1)
2                         POINT (0.5 0.5)
dtype: geometry

Geometries that do not intersect the rectangle are returned as empty:

>>> GeoSeries([Point(5, 5)]).clip_by_rect(0, 0, 1, 1)
0    POLYGON EMPTY
