gemgis.vector.create_bbox

gemgis.vector.create_bbox(extent: List[Union[int, float]]) → shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon

Creating a rectangular polygon from the provided bounding box values, with counter-clockwise order by default.

Parameters

extent (List[Union[int, float]]) – List of minx, maxx, miny, maxy values, e.g. extent=[0, 972, 0, 1069]

Returns

bbox – Rectangular polygon based on extent

Return type

shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon

New in version 1.0.x.

Example

>>> # Loading Libraries
>>> import gemgis as gg

>>> # Defining extent
>>> extent = [0, 972, 0, 1069]

>>> # Creating bounding box
>>> bbox = gg.vector.create_bbox(extent=extent)
>>> bbox.wkt
'POLYGON ((972 0, 972 1069, 0 1069, 0 0, 972 0))'
