class plpygis.geometry.Geometry(wkb, srid=None, dimz=False, dimm=False)¶

Bases: object

A representation of a PostGIS geometry.

PostGIS geometries are either an OpenGIS Consortium Simple Features for SQL specification type or a PostGIS extended type. The object’s canonical form is stored in WKB or EWKB format along with an SRID and flags indicating whether the coordinates are 3DZ, 3DM or 4D.

Geometry objects can be created in a number of ways. In all cases, a subclass for the particular geometry type will be instantiated.

From an (E)WKB:

>>> Geometry(b'\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00')
<Point: 'geometry(Point)'>

From the hexadecimal string representation of an (E)WKB:

>>> Geometry("0101000080000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
<Point: 'geometry(PointZ)'>

The response above indicates an instance of the Point class has been created and that it represents a PostGIS geometry(PointZ) type.

From a GeoJSON:

>>> Geometry.from_geojson({'type': 'Point', 'coordinates': (0.0, 0.0)})
<Point: 'geometry(Point,4326)'>

From a Shapely object:

>>> from shapely import Point
>>> point = Point(0, 0)
>>> Geometry.from_shapely(point, 3857)
<Point: 'geometry(Point,3857)'>

From any object supporting __geo_interface__:

>>> from shapefile import Reader
>>> feature = Reader("test/multipoint.shp").shape(0)
>>> Geometry.shape(feature)
<MultiPoint: 'geometry(MultiPoint)'>

A Geometry can be read as long as it is one of the following types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon or GeometryCollection. The M dimension will be preserved.
