Parameters
dict
required
Dictionary of the form
{field: array-like} or
{field: dict}.str or array - like
default:"None"
If a string, the column to use as the active geometry. If an
array-like, it is added as the
"geometry" column.Any | None
default:"None"
Coordinate reference system to assign to the resulting frame. The
coordinates are not transformed.
Additional arguments passed to
pandas.DataFrame.from_dict,
such as orient or columns.Returns
GeoDataFrame
This constructor first materializes the dictionary in a local
GeoPandas GeoDataFrame on the driver, then distributes it with Spark.
It is intended for small in-memory inputs. For large datasets, create
a Spark DataFrame or use a distributed Sedona data source instead.Once distributed, dictionary values follow Spark schema inference.
Each column must contain values that Spark can represent with one
compatible type.
