GeoDataFrame

A GeoDataFrame is a tabular data structure that contains a column which contains a GeoSeries storing geometry.

Constructor

GeoDataFrame(*args, **kwargs)

A GeoDataFrame object is a pandas.DataFrame that has a column with geometry.

Reading and writing files

GeoDataFrame.from_file(filename, \*\*kwargs)	Alternate constructor to create a GeoDataFrame from a file.
GeoDataFrame.from_features(features[, crs, …])	Alternate constructor to create GeoDataFrame from an iterable of features or a feature collection.
GeoDataFrame.from_postgis(sql, con[, …])	Alternate constructor to create a GeoDataFrame from a sql query containing a geometry column in WKB representation.
GeoDataFrame.to_file(self, filename[, …])	Write the GeoDataFrame to a file.
GeoDataFrame.to_json(self[, na, show_bbox])	Returns a GeoJSON representation of the GeoDataFrame as a string.
GeoDataFrame.to_parquet(self, path[, index, …])	Write a GeoDataFrame to the Parquet format.
GeoDataFrame.to_feather(self, path[, index, …])	Write a GeoDataFrame to the Feather format.
GeoDataFrame.to_postgis(self, name, con[, …])	Upload GeoDataFrame into PostGIS database.

Projection handling

GeoDataFrame.crs	The Coordinate Reference System (CRS) represented as a pyproj.CRS object.
GeoDataFrame.set_crs(self[, crs, epsg, …])	Set the Coordinate Reference System (CRS) of the GeoDataFrame.
GeoDataFrame.to_crs(self[, crs, epsg, inplace])	Transform geometries to a new coordinate reference system.

Active geometry handling

GeoDataFrame.rename_geometry(self, col[, …])	Renames the GeoDataFrame geometry column to the specified name.
GeoDataFrame.set_geometry(self, col[, drop, …])	Set the GeoDataFrame geometry using either an existing column or the specified input.

Aggregating and exploding

GeoDataFrame.dissolve(self[, by, aggfunc, …])	Dissolve geometries within groupby into single observation.
GeoDataFrame.explode(self)	Explode muti-part geometries into multiple single geometries.

Plotting

GeoDataFrame.plot(self, \*args, \*\*kwargs)

Plot a GeoDataFrame.

Spatial index

GeoDataFrame.sindex

Interface

GeoDataFrame.__geo_interface__

Returns a GeoDataFrame as a python feature collection.

All pandas DataFrame methods are also available, although they may not operate in a meaningful way on the geometry column. All methods listed in GeoSeries work directly on an active geometry column of GeoDataFrame.
