shapely.equals_identical

equals_identical(a, b, **kwargs)

Return True if the geometries are identical.

This function verifies whether geometries are pointwise equivalent by checking that the structure, ordering, and values of all vertices are identical in all dimensions.

Similarly to equals_exact(), this function uses exact coordinate equality and requires coordinates to be in the same order for all components (vertices, rings, or parts) of a geometry. However, in contrast equals_exact(), this function does not allow to specify a tolerance, but does require all dimensions to be the same (equals_exact() ignores the Z and M dimensions), and NaN values are considered to be equal to other NaN values.

This function is the vectorized equivalent of scalar equality of geometry objects (a == b, i.e. __eq__).

Added in version 2.1.0.

Parameters:

a, bGeometry or array_like

Geometry or geometries to check.

**kwargs

See NumPy ufunc docs for other keyword arguments.

equals_exact

Check if geometries are structurally equal given a specified tolerance.

equals

Check if geometries are spatially (topologically) equal.

True
>>> shapely.equals_identical(Point(1, 2, 3), Point(1, 2, 0))
False
