dask_geopandas.GeoDataFrame.rename_geometry

GeoDataFrame.rename_geometry(col)

Renames the GeoDataFrame geometry column to the specified name. By default yields a new object.

This docstring was copied from geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame.rename_geometry.

Some inconsistencies with the Dask version may exist.

The original geometry column is replaced with the input.

Parameters

colnew geometry column label

inplaceboolean, default False (Not supported in Dask)

Modify the GeoDataFrame in place (do not create a new object)

Returns

geodataframeGeoDataFrame

Examples

>>> from shapely.geometry import Point  
>>> d = {'col1': ['name1', 'name2'], 'geometry': [Point(1, 2), Point(2, 1)]}  
>>> df = geopandas.GeoDataFrame(d, crs="EPSG:4326")  
>>> df1 = df.rename_geometry('geom1')  
>>> df1.geometry.name  
'geom1'
>>> df.rename_geometry('geom1', inplace=True)  
>>> df.geometry.name  
'geom1'
