- teradataml.geospatial.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame.convex_hull
- DESCRIPTION:
Returns the convex hull of the Geometry value.
PARAMETERS:
None
SUPPORTED GEOMETRY TYPES:
All Geometry types.
Note:
This method can be called on 3D geometries (those that include Z
coordinates). However, the Z coordinate is ignored in method
calculations. Consequently, any Z coordinates returned by this
method should be ignored. Teradata recommends using the make_2D()
method to strip out the Z coordinates of the return value.
RAISES:
TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
RETURNS:
GeoDataFrame with result column containing Geometry values
EXAMPLES:
from teradataml import GeoDataFrame, load_example_data
# Load example data.
load_example_data("geodataframe", "sample_shapes")
# Create a GeoDataFrame.
gdf = GeoDataFrame("sample_shapes")
gdf = gdf.select(["skey", "polygons", "linestrings"])
gdf
# Example 1: Get the convex hull of all geometries in column 'polygons'.
# Let's check where the GeoDataFrame.geometry property points to.
print(gdf.geometry.name)
# Note: By default, GeoDataFrame.geometry property points to the first geometry column,
# in this case it is 'polygons'. Thus, no need to set it again.
