momepy.VolumeFacadeRatio¶

class momepy.VolumeFacadeRatio(gdf, heights, volumes=None, perimeters=None)[source]¶

Calculates volume/facade ratio of each object in given geoDataFrame.

\[volume \over perimeter * heigth\]

Parameters

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored height value

volumesstr, list, np.array, pd.Series (default None)

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored volume value

perimeters, list, np.array, pd.Series (default None)

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored perimeter value
