geopandas.GeoSeries.envelope#

property GeoSeries.envelope[source]#

Returns a GeoSeries of geometries representing the envelope of each geometry.

The envelope of a geometry is the bounding rectangle. That is, the point or smallest rectangular polygon (with sides parallel to the coordinate axes) that contains the geometry.
