shapely.envelope

envelope(geometry, **kwargs)

Compute the minimum bounding box that encloses an input geometry.

Parameters:

geometryGeometry or array_like

Geometry or geometries for which to compute the envelope.

**kwargs

See NumPy ufunc docs for other keyword arguments.

Examples

>>> import shapely
>>> from shapely import GeometryCollection, LineString, MultiPoint, Point
>>> shapely.envelope(LineString([(0, 0), (10, 10)]))
<POLYGON ((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0))>
>>> shapely.envelope(MultiPoint([(0, 0), (10, 10)]))
<POLYGON ((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0))>
>>> shapely.envelope(Point(0, 0))
<POINT (0 0)>
>>> shapely.envelope(GeometryCollection([]))
<POINT EMPTY>
