linearrings(coords[, y, z, indices, out])

Create an array of linearrings.

polygons(geometries[, holes, indices, out])

Create an array of polygons.

multipoints(geometries[, indices, out])

Create multipoints from arrays of points

multilinestrings(geometries[, indices, out])

Create multilinestrings from arrays of linestrings

multipolygons(geometries[, indices, out])
