geometric_features.FeatureCollection

class geometric_features.FeatureCollection(features=None, otherProperties=None)

An object for representing and manipulating a collection of geoscientific geometric features.

Variables:

• features (list of dict) – A list of python dictionaries describing each feature, following the geojson convention

• otherProperties (dict) – Other properties of the feature collection such as type and groupName

__init__(features=None, otherProperties=None)

Construct a new feature collection

Parameters:

• features (list of dict, optional) – A list of python dictionaries describing each feature, following the geojson convention

• otherProperties (dict, optional) – Other properties of the feature collection such as type and groupName

Methods

__init__([features, otherProperties])	Construct a new feature collection
add_feature(feature)	Add a feature to the feature collection if it isn't already present
combine(featureName)	Combines the geometry of the feature collection into a single feature
difference(maskingFC[, show_progress])	Use features from a masking collection to mask out (remove part of the geometry from) this collection.
feature_in_collection(feature)	Is this feature already in the collection?
fix_antimeridian()	Split features at +/-180 degrees (the antimeridian) to make them valid geojson geometries
merge(other)	Merge another feature collection into this one
plot(projection[, maxLength, figsize, ...])	Plot the features on a map using cartopy.
set_group_name(groupName)	Set the group name of a feature collection
simplify([tolerance])	Features in the collection are simplified using shapely
tag(tags[, remove])	Add tags to all features in the collection
to_geojson(fileName[, stripHistory, indent])	Write the feature collection to a geojson file
