GeoSeries.build_area - Wherobots

Create an areal geometry formed by the constituent linework. Builds areas from the GeoSeries that contain linework which represents the edges of a planar graph. All geometries within the GeoSeries are considered together and the resulting polygons therefore do not map 1:1 to input geometries.

Signature

build_area(node=True)

Parameters

bool

default:"True"

If True, the linework is noded together before building areas.

Returns

GeoSeries

Examples

>>> from sedona.spark.geopandas import GeoSeries
>>> from shapely.geometry import MultiLineString
>>> s = GeoSeries(
...     [
...         MultiLineString(
...             [[(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (1, 0), (0, 0)]]
...         ),
...     ]
... )
>>> s.build_area()
0    POLYGON ((0 0, 0 1, 1 1, 1 0, 0 0))
