libpysal.cg.Chain¶

class libpysal.cg.Chain(vertices: list)[source]¶

Geometric representation of a chain, also known as a polyline.

Parameters:

verticeslist: A point list or list of point lists.

Examples

>>> c = Chain([Point((0, 0)), Point((1, 0)), Point((1, 1)), Point((2, 1))])

Attributes:

verticeslist: Returns the vertices of the chain in clockwise order.
lenfloat: Returns the geometric length of the chain.

__init__(vertices: list)[source]¶

Methods

__init__(vertices)

Attributes

`arclen`	Returns the geometric length of the chain computed using 'arcdistance' (meters).
`bounding_box`	Returns the bounding box of the chain.
`len`	Returns the geometric length of the chain.
`parts`	Returns the parts (lists of `libpysal.cg.Point` objects) of the chain.
`segments`	Returns the segments that compose the chain.
`vertices`	Returns the vertices of the chain in clockwise order.

property arclen: int | float¶: Returns the geometric length of the chain computed using ‘arcdistance’ (meters).

property bounding_box¶

Returns the bounding box of the chain.

Returns:

self._bounding_boxlibpysal.cg.Rectangle: The bounding box of the chain.

Examples

>>> c = Chain([Point((0, 0)), Point((2, 0)), Point((2, 1)), Point((0, 1))])
>>> c.bounding_box.left
0.0

>>> c.bounding_box.lower
0.0

>>> c.bounding_box.right
2.0

>>> c.bounding_box.upper
1.0

property len: int¶

Returns the geometric length of the chain.

Examples

>>> c = Chain([Point((0, 0)), Point((1, 0)), Point((1, 1)), Point((2, 1))])
>>> c.len
3.0

>>> c = Chain(
...     [
...         [Point((0, 0)), Point((1, 0)), Point((1, 1))],
...         [Point((10, 10)), Point((11, 10)), Point((11, 11))]
...     ]
... )
>>> c.len
4.0

property parts: list¶

Returns the parts (lists of libpysal.cg.Point objects) of the chain.

Examples

>>> c = Chain(
...     [
...         [Point((0, 0)), Point((1, 0)), Point((1, 1)), Point((0, 1))],
...         [Point((2, 1)), Point((2, 2)), Point((1, 2)), Point((1, 1))]
...     ]
... )
>>> len(c.parts)
2

property segments: list¶: Returns the segments that compose the chain.

property vertices: list¶

Returns the vertices of the chain in clockwise order.

Examples

>>> c = Chain([Point((0, 0)), Point((1, 0)), Point((1, 1)), Point((2, 1))])
>>> verts = c.vertices
>>> len(verts)
