dask_geopandas.GeoSeries.area

property GeoSeries.area

Return a Series containing the area of each geometry in the GeoSeries expressed in the units of the CRS.

This docstring was copied from geopandas.base.GeoPandasBase.area.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

Notes

Area may be invalid for a geographic CRS using degrees as units; use GeoSeries.to_crs() to project geometries to a planar CRS before using this function.

Every operation in GeoPandas is planar, i.e. the potential third dimension is not taken into account.

Examples

>>> from shapely.geometry import Polygon, LineString, Point
>>> s = geopandas.GeoSeries(
...     [
...         Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)]),
...         Polygon([(10, 0), (10, 5), (0, 0)]),
...         Polygon([(0, 0), (2, 2), (2, 0)]),
...         LineString([(0, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1)]),
...         Point(0, 1)
