Perform a distributed spatial overlay with another GeoDataFrame.

Signature

Parameters

GeoDataFrame
required
The GeoDataFrame overlaid with this frame.
('intersection', 'union', 'identity', 'symmetric_difference', 'difference')
default:"'intersection'"
Overlay operation to perform.
bool
default:"None"
Keep only geometries in the family of this frame. None filters like True without eagerly evaluating the result to emit GeoPandas’ conditional dropped-geometry warning.
bool
default:"True"
Repair invalid polygon inputs before overlay.

Returns

GeoDataFrame
Distributed overlay result. Constructing it eagerly runs one distributed validation and metadata aggregation over both inputs; overlay geometry rows remain lazily evaluated.
