PyGEOS is a C/Python library with vectorized geometry functions. The geometry
|
|
operations are done in the open-source geometry library GEOS. PyGEOS wraps these
|
|
operations in NumPy ufuncs providing a performance improvement when operating on
|
|
arrays of geometries.
|
|
|
|
A universal function (or ufunc for short) is a function that operates on
|
|
n-dimensional arrays in an element-by-element fashion, supporting array
|
|
broadcasting. The for-loops that are involved are fully implemented in C
|
|
diminishing the overhead of the Python interpreter.
