geopandas.GeoSeries.to_file

GeoSeries.to_file(self, filename, driver='ESRI Shapefile', index=None, **kwargs)

Write the GeoSeries to a file.

By default, an ESRI shapefile is written, but any OGR data source supported by Fiona can be written.

Parameters

filenamestring

File path or file handle to write to.

driverstring, default: ‘ESRI Shapefile’

The OGR format driver used to write the vector file.

indexbool, default None

If True, write index into one or more columns (for MultiIndex). Default None writes the index into one or more columns only if the index is named, is a MultiIndex, or has a non-integer data type. If False, no index is written.

New in version 0.7: Previously the index was not written.

Notes

The extra keyword arguments **kwargs are passed to fiona.open and can be used to write to multi-layer data, store data within archives (zip files), etc.
