shapely.from_ragged_array#

from_ragged_array(geometry_type, coords, offsets=None)#

Creates geometries from a contiguous array of coordinates and offset arrays.

This function creates geometries from the ragged array representation as returned by to_ragged_array.

This follows the in-memory layout of the variable size list arrays defined by Apache Arrow, as specified for geometries by the GeoArrow project: geoarrow/geoarrow.

See to_ragged_array() for more details.

Parameters:
geometry_typeGeometryType

The type of geometry to create.

coordsnp.ndarray

Contiguous array of shape (n, 2) or (n, 3) of all coordinates for the geometries.

offsets: tuple of np.ndarray

Offset arrays that allow to reconstruct the geometries based on the flat coordinates array. The number of offset arrays depends on the geometry type. See geoarrow/geoarrow for details.

Returns:
np.ndarray

Array of geometries (1-dimensional).
