gemgis.vector.create_buffer

gemgis.vector.create_buffer(geom_object: shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry, distance: Union[float, int]) → shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon

Creating a buffer around a Shapely LineString or a Point

Parameters

• geom_object (shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry) – Shapely LineString or Point, e.g. geom_object=Point(0, 0)

• distance (float, int) – Distance of the buffer around the geometry object, e.g. distance=10

Returns

polygon – Polygon representing the buffered area around a geometry object

Return type

shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon

New in version 1.0.x.

Example

>>> # Loading Libraries and creating Point
>>> import gemgis as gg
>>> from shapely.geometry import Point
>>> point = Point(0,0)
>>> point.wkt
'POINT (0 0)'

>>> # Creating Buffer around Point
>>> point_buffered = gg.vector.create_buffer(geom_object=point, distance=10)
>>> point_buffered.wkt
'POLYGON ((100 0, 99.5184726672197 -9.801714032956051, 98.07852804032305 -19.50903220161281, 95.69403357322089
