- teradataml.geospatial.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame.is_simple
- DESCRIPTION:
Tests if a Geometry value has no anomalous geometric points, such as
self intersection tangency.
PARAMETERS:
None
SUPPORTED GEOMETRY TYPES:
All Geometry types.
RAISES:
TypeError, ValueError, TeradataMlException
RETURNS:
GeoDataFrame
Resultant column contains:
* 1, if the geometry is simple, with no anomalous points
* 0, if the geometry is not simple
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: Check if geometries in column 'polygons' is simple or not.
# 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.
gdf.is_simple
