Project description

Manipulation and analysis of geometric objects in the Cartesian plane.

https://travis-ci.org/Toblerity/Shapely.png?branch=master http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2738/4511827859_b5822043b7_o_d.png

Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python package for manipulation and analysis of planar geometric objects. It is based on the widely deployed GEOS (the engine of PostGIS) and JTS (from which GEOS is ported) libraries. Shapely is not concerned with data formats or coordinate systems, but can be readily integrated with packages that are. For more details, see:

Requirements

Shapely 1.5.x requires

  • Python >=2.6 (including Python 3.x)

  • GEOS >=3.3 (Shapely 1.2.x requires only GEOS 3.1 but YMMV)

Installing Shapely

Windows users should download an executable installer from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#shapely or PyPI (if available).

On other systems, acquire the GEOS by any means (brew install geos on OS X or apt-get install libgeos-dev on Debian/Ubuntu), make sure that it is on the system library path, and install Shapely from the Python package index.

$ pip install shapely

If you’ve installed GEOS to a non-standard location, the geos-config program will be used to get compiler and linker options. If it is not on the PATH, it can be specified with a GEOS_CONFIG environment variable, e.g.:

$ GEOS_CONFIG=/path/to/geos-config pip install shapely

If your system’s GEOS version is < 3.3.0 you cannot use Shapely 1.3+ and must stick to 1.2.x as shown below.

$ pip install shapely<1.3

Or, if you’re using pip 6+

$ pip install shapely~=1.2

Shapely is also provided by popular Python distributions like Canopy (Enthought) and Anaconda (Continuum Analytics).

Usage

Here is the canonical example of building an approximately circular patch by buffering a point.

>>> from shapely.geometry import Point
>>> patch = Point(0.0, 0.0).buffer(10.0)
>>> patch
<shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon object at 0x...>
>>> patch.area
313.65484905459385

See the manual for comprehensive usage snippets and the dissolve.py and intersect.py examples.

Integration

Shapely does not read or write data files, but it can serialize and deserialize using several well known formats and protocols. The shapely.wkb and shapely.wkt modules provide dumpers and loaders inspired by Python’s pickle module.

>>> from shapely.wkt import dumps, loads
>>> dumps(loads('POINT (0 0)'))
'POINT (0.0000000000000000 0.0000000000000000)'

Shapely can also integrate with other Python GIS packages using GeoJSON-like dicts.

>>> import json
>>> from shapely.geometry import mapping, shape
>>> s = shape(json.loads('{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}'))
>>> s
<shapely.geometry.point.Point object at 0x...>
>>> print(json.dumps(mapping(s)))
{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}

Development and Testing

Dependencies for developing Shapely are listed in requirements-dev.txt. Cython and Numpy are not required for production installations, only for development. Use of a virtual environment is strongly recommended.

$ virtualenv .
$ source bin/activate
(env)$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
(env)$ pip install -e .

We use py.test to run Shapely’s suite of unittests and doctests.

(env)$ py.test tests

Roadmap and Maintenance

Shapely 1.2.x is a maintenance-only branch which supports Python 2.4-2.6, but not Python 3+. There will be no new features in Shapely 1.2.x and only fixes for major bugs.

Shapely 1.4.x is a maintenance-only branch supporting Pythons 2.7 and 3.3+.

Support

Changes

1.5.15 (2016-03-29)

  • Bug fix: use uintptr_t to store pointers instead of long in _geos.pxi, preventing an overflow error (#372, #373). Note that this bug fix was erroneously reported to have been made in 1.5.14, but was not.

1.5.14 (2016-03-27)

  • Bug fix: use type() instead of isinstance() when evaluating geometry equality, preventing instances of base and derived classes from being mistaken for equals (#317).

  • Bug fix: ensure that empty geometries are created when constructors have no args (#332, #333).

  • Bug fix: support app “freezing” better on Windows by not relying on the __file__ attribute (#342, #377).

  • Bug fix: ensure that empty polygons evaluate to be == (#355).

  • Bug fix: filter out empty geometries that can cause segfaults when creating and loading STRtrees (#345, #348).

1.5.13 (2015-10-09)

  • Restore setup and runtime discovery and loading of GEOS shared library to state at version 1.5.9 (#326).
