shapely.points#

points(coords, y=None, z=None, indices=None, out=None, **kwargs)#

Create an array of points.

Parameters:

coordsarray_like: An array of coordinate tuples (2- or 3-dimensional) or, if y is provided, an array of x coordinates.
yarray_like, optional
zarray_like, optional
indicesarray_like, optional: Indices into the target array where input coordinates belong. If provided, the coords should be 2D with shape (N, 2) or (N, 3) and indices should be an array of shape (N,) with integers in increasing order. Missing indices result in a ValueError unless out is provided, in which case the original value in out is kept.
outndarray, optional: An array (with dtype object) to output the geometries into.
**kwargs: For other keyword-only arguments, see the NumPy ufunc docs. Ignored if indices is provided.

Notes

GEOS >=3.10 automatically converts POINT (nan nan) to POINT EMPTY.
Usage of the y and z arguments will prevents lazy evaluation in dask. Instead provide the coordinates as an array with shape (..., 2) or (..., 3) using only the coords argument.

Examples

>>> points([[0, 1], [4, 5]]).tolist()
[<POINT (0 1)>, <POINT (4 5)>]
>>> points([0, 1, 2])
<POINT Z (0 1 2)>
