<h1>GeoPandas User Guide<a class="headerlink" href="#geopandas-user-guide" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>GeoPandas implements two main data structures, a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code> and a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoDataFrame</span></code>. These are subclasses of pandas <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Series</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">DataFrame</span></code>, respectively.</p>
<div class="section" id="geoseries">
<h2>GeoSeries<a class="headerlink" href="#geoseries" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code> contains a sequence of geometries.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code> class implements nearly all of the attributes and
methods of Shapely objects. When applied to a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code>, they
will apply elementwise to all geometries in the series. Binary
operations can be applied between two <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code>, in which case the
operation is carried out elementwise. The two series will be aligned
by matching indices. Binary operations can also be applied to a
single geometry, in which case the operation is carried out for each
element of the series with that geometry. In either case, a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Series</span></code> or a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoSeries</span></code> will be returned, as appropriate.</p>
<p>The following Shapely methods and attributes are available on

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now draw a circle with fixed radius around each point:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">circles</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">pts</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">buffer</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">2000</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>We can collapse these circles into a single shapely MultiPolygon
geometry with</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">mp</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">circles</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">unary_union</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To extract the part of this geometry contained in each borough, we can
just use:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">holes</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">boros</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'geometry'</span><span class="p">]</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">intersection</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mp</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<img alt="_images/holes.png" src="_images/holes.png" />
<p>and to get the area outside of the holes:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">boros_with_holes</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">boros</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'geometry'</span><span class="p">]</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">difference</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">mp</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<img alt="_images/boros_with_holes.png" src="_images/boros_with_holes.png" />
<p>Note that this can be simplified a bit, since <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">geometry</span></code> is
available as an attribute on a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GeoDataFrame</span></code>, and the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">intersection</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">difference</span></code> methods are implemented with the
“&” and “-” operators, respectively. For example, the latter could
have been expressed simply as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">boros.geometry</span> <span class="pre">-</span> <span class="pre">mp</span></code>.</p>
<p>It’s easy to do things like calculate the fractional area in each
borough that are in the holes:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">>>> </span><span class="n">holes</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">area</span> <span class="o">/</span> <span class="n">boros</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">geometry</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">area</span>
