momepy.CompactnessWeightedAxis

class momepy.CompactnessWeightedAxis(gdf, areas=None, perimeters=None, longest_axis=None)

Calculates compactness-weighted axis of each object in given GeoDataFrame.

Initially designed for blocks.

\[d_{i} \times\left(\frac{4}{\pi}-\frac{16 (area_{i})} {perimeter_{i}^{2}}\right)\]

Parameters

gdfGeoDataFrame

GeoDataFrame containing objects

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

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored area value. If set to None, function will calculate areas during the process without saving them separately.

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

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored perimeter value. If set to None, function will calculate perimeters during the process without saving them separately.

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

the name of the dataframe column, np.array, or pd.Series where is stored longest axis length value. If set to None, function will calculate it during the process without saving them separately.

Examples

>>> blocks_df['cwa'] = mm.CompactnessWeightedAxis(blocks_df).series
