momepy.longest_axis_length

momepy.longest_axis_length(geometry)

Calculates the length of the longest axis of object.

Axis is defined as a diameter of minimal bounding circle around the geometry. It does not have to be fully inside an object.

\[\max \left\{d_{1}, d_{2}, \ldots, d_{n}\right\}\]

Parameters:

geometryGeoDataFrame | GeoSeries

A GeoDataFrame or GeoSeries containing polygons to analyse.

Returns:

Series

Examples

>>> path = momepy.datasets.get_path("bubenec")
