gemgis.vector.load_gpx_as_geometry(path: str, layer: Union[int, str] = 'tracks') → shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry#

Loading a GPX file as Shapely Geometry

Parameters

  • path (str) – Path to the GPX file, e.g. path='file.gpx'

  • layer (Union[int, str]) – The integer index or name of a layer in a multi-layer dataset, e.g. layer='tracks', default is tracks

Returns

shape – Shapely BaseGeometry containing the geometry data of the GPX file

Return type

shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry

New in version 1.0.x.
