momepy.DistanceBand#

class momepy.DistanceBand(gdf, threshold, centroid=True, ids=None)[source]#

On demand distance-based spatial weights-like class.

Mimic the behavior of libpysal.weights.DistanceBand but do not compute all neighbors at once; only on demand. Only DistanceBand.neighbors[key] is implemented. Once a user asks for DistanceBand.neighbors[key], neighbors for specified key will be computed using rtree. The algorithm is significantly slower than libpysal.weights.DistanceBand but allows for a large number of neighbors which may cause memory issues in libpysal.

Use libpysal.weights.DistanceBand if possible. momepy.weights.DistanceBand only when necessary. DistanceBand.neighbors[key] should yield the same results as momepy.DistanceBand.

Parameters:
gdfGeoDataFrame or GeoSeries

The GeoDataFrame containing objects to be used.

thresholdfloat

The distance band to be used as buffer.

centroidbool (default True)

Use the centroid of geometries (as in libpysal.weights.DistanceBand). If False, this works with the geometry as it is.

idsstr

The column to be used as geometry IDs. If not set, integer position is used.

Attributes:
neighbors[key]list

A list of IDs of neighboring features.
