gemgis.vector.create_hexagon_grid(gdf: geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame, radius: Union[int, float], crop_gdf: bool = True)

Function to create a grid of hexagons based on a GeoDataFrame containing Polygons and a radius provided for the single hexagons

Parameters

• gdf (gpd.GeoDataFrame) – GeoDataFrame containing the polygons for which a hexagon grid is created

• radius (int, float) – Radius of the hexagon

• crop_gdf (bool) – Boolean to define if the resulting GeoDataFrame should be cropped to the extend of the provided GeoDataFrame Options include: True or False, default set to True

Returns

hex_gdf – GeoDataFrame containing the hexagon grid

Return type

gpd.GeoDataFrame

New in version 1.0.x.
