pygeoops.subdivide

pygeoops.subdivide(geometry: BaseGeometry, num_coords_max: int = 1000) → ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[BaseGeometry]]

Divide the input geometry to smaller parts using rectilinear lines.

Parameters:

• geometry (geometry) – the geometry to subdivide.

• num_coords_max (int) – number of coordinates per subdivision to aim for. In the current implementation, num_coords_max will be the average number of coordinates the subdividions will consist of. If <=0, no subdivision is applied. Defaults to 1000.

Returns:

if geometry has < num_coords_max coordinates, the array

will contain the input geometry. Otherwise it will contain subdivisions.

Return type:

array of geometries
