shapely.bounds

bounds(geometry, **kwargs)

Compute the bounds (extent) of a geometry.

For each geometry these 4 numbers are returned: min x, min y, max x, max y.

Parameters:

geometryGeometry or array_like

Geometry or geometries for which to compute the bounds.

**kwargs

See NumPy ufunc docs for other keyword arguments.

Examples

>>> import shapely
>>> from shapely import LineString, Point, Polygon
>>> shapely.bounds(Point(2, 3)).tolist()
[2.0, 3.0, 2.0, 3.0]
>>> shapely.bounds(LineString([(0, 0), (0, 2), (3, 2)])).tolist()
[0.0, 0.0, 3.0, 2.0]
>>> shapely.bounds(Polygon()).tolist()
[nan, nan, nan, nan]
>>> shapely.bounds(None).tolist()
[nan, nan, nan, nan]
