momepy.gdf_to_nx

momepy.gdf_to_nx(gdf_network, approach='primal', length='mm_len', multigraph=True, directed=False, angles=True, angle='angle')[source]

Convert LineString GeoDataFrame to networkx.MultiGraph or other Graph as per specification.

Preserves columns as edge or node attributes (depending on the approach). Index is not preserved.

See the User Guide page Converting from GeoDataFrame to Graph and back for details.

Parameters
gdf_networkGeoDataFrame

GeoDataFrame containing objects to convert

approachstr, default ‘primal’

Allowed options are 'primal' or 'dual'. Primal graph represents endpoints as nodes and LineStrings as edges, dual graph represents LineStrings as nodes and their topological relation as edges. In such a case, it can encode an angle between LineStrings as an edge attribute.

lengthstr, default ‘mm_len’

name of attribute of segment length (geographical) which will be saved to graph

multigraphbool, default True

create MultiGraph of Graph (potentially directed). MutliGraph allows multiple edges between any pair of nodes, which is a common case in street networks.

directedbool, default False

create directed graph (DiGraph or MultiDiGraph). Directionality follows the order of LineString coordinates.

anglesbool, default True

capture angles between LineStrings as an attribute of a dual graph. Ignored if approach="primal".

lengthstr, default ‘angle’

name of attribute of angle between LineStrings which will be saved to graph. Ignored if approach="primal".

Returns
networkx.Graph,
networkx.MultiGraph,
networkx.DiGraph,
networkx.MultiDiGraph

Graph as per specification
