Vector Objects

Opening Vectors

open_vectors(path[, layers])

Open a vector source.

Attributes

Vector.bounds	(minx, miny, maxx, maxy).
Vector.crs	The vector CRS.
Vector.data
Vector.field_dtypes	The field dtypes.
Vector.field_names	The field names.
Vector.field_schema	A mapping of the field names to dtypes.
Vector.geometry	The vector geometry series.
Vector.shape	The shape of the attribute table.
Vector.size	The number of vectors contained.
Vector.table	The vector attribute table.
Vector.tasks	The number of lazy operations left to be computed.

Operations

IO

Vector.eval()	Computes the built-up chain of operations on the underlying data.
Vector.save(path, **fiona_kwargs)	Save the vector data to a file.

Contents / Conversions

Vector.to_crs(crs)	Transform the vector coordinates to the specified crs.
Vector.to_dask()	Returns the underlying data as a dask_geopandas.GeoDataFrame.
Vector.to_dataframe()	Returns the underlying GeoDataFrame.
Vector.to_lazy([npartitions])	Converts to a lazy dask-backed Vector.
Vector.to_raster(like[, field, ...])	Convert vector feature data to a raster.
Vector.to_shapely()	Returns the vector data as a list of shapely geometries objects.
Vector.cast_field(name, dtype)	Cast a field to the specified dtype.

Vector Ops

Vector.buffer(*args, **kwargs)	Apply the buffer operation to the vector geometries.
Vector.simplify(*args, **kwargs)	Simplify the vector geometries.
