cf_xarray.cf_to_shapely

cf_xarray.cf_to_shapely(ds)

Convert geometries stored in a CF-compliant way to shapely objects stored in a single variable.

Warning

Only point geometries are currently implemented.

Parameters

dsxr.Dataset

Must contain a geometry_container variable with attributes giving the geometry specifications. Must contain all variables needed to reconstruct the geometries listed in these specifications.

Returns

da: xr.DataArray

A 1D DataArray of shapely objects. It has the same dimension as the node_count or the coordinates variables, or features if those were not present in ds.
