- teradataml.geospatial.geodataframecolumn.GeoDataFrameColumn.to_binary = to_binary(self)
- DESCRIPTION:
Returns the well-known binary (WKB) representation of a Geometry value.
PARAMETERS:
None
SUPPORTED GEOMETRY TYPES:
All Geometry types.
RAISES:
TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
RETURNS:
GeoDataFrameColumn containing BLOB value
The maximum size of the return value is 16 MB (the exact maximum is 16 MB - 1 KB).
EXAMPLES:
from teradataml import GeoDataFrame, load_example_data
from teradataml import Point, LineString, Polygon, GeometryCollection
# Load example data.
load_example_data("geodataframe", "sample_shapes")
# Create a GeoDataFrame.
geodf = GeoDataFrame("sample_shapes")
print(geodf)
# Example 1: Get the well-known binary (WKB) representation of geometry values
# in column 'points'.
# Let's select only few columns from GeoDataFrame.
points_lines = geodf.select(["skey", "points", "linestrings"])
points_lines.assign(res = points_lines.points.to_binary())
