True for geometries that are identical to aligned
other, otherwise False.
Equality is structural: geometry types, component ordering, ring
ordering, vertex ordering, coordinate dimensions, and every ordinate
value must match. Unlike geom_equals_exact, this method checks
Z and M coordinates and does not accept a tolerance. NaN ordinates in
the same position are considered equal.
The operation works in a 1-to-1 row-wise manner.
Signature
Parameters
GeoSeries or geometric object
required
The GeoSeries (elementwise) or geometric object to compare to.
bool | None (default None)
default:"None"
If True, automatically align GeoSeries based on their indices.
If False, compare values in their existing order. None defaults
to True.
Returns
Series(bool)
This method checks geometries row by row; it does not compare each
geometry with every value in
other.As elsewhere in Sedona’s GeoPandas compatibility layer, standalone
LinearRing geometries are serialized as LineString geometries.
Consequently, this method cannot distinguish those two standalone
input types when their coordinates match.Values are compared using the representation stored in Spark. JTS
cannot distinguish ordinary XY from declared XYZ when every Z
ordinate is NaN, including empty XYZ values and zero-member
collections. Shapely inputs with mixed coordinate layouts inside a
Polygon or same-type multi-geometry may be normalized to one layout
by Python GeometryUDT serialization; JVM-created mixed layouts are
rejected when their layouts remain distinguishable in JTS. Use a
GeometryCollection when members need independent layouts. Passing
Shapely M and ZM objects through GeometryUDT requires Sedona’s native
geometry serializer with GEOS 3.12 or newer; the pure-Python fallback
rejects them instead of silently discarding measures.GeoSeries.geom_equalsGeoSeries.geom_equals_exact
