geopandas.GeoSeries.touches#
- GeoSeries.touches(other, align=None)[source]#
Returns a
Series
ofdtype('bool')
with valueTrue
for each aligned geometry that touches other.An object is said to touch other if it has at least one point in common with other and its interior does not intersect with any part of the other. Overlapping features therefore do not touch.
The operation works on a 1-to-1 row-wise manner:
- Parameters:
- otherGeoSeries or geometric object
The GeoSeries (elementwise) or geometric object to test if is touched.
- alignbool | None (default None)
If True, automatically aligns GeoSeries based on their indices. If False, the order of elements is preserved. None defaults to True.
- Returns:
- Series (bool)

Notes
This method works in a row-wise manner. It does not check if an element of one GeoSeries
touches
any element of the other one.Examples
>>> from shapely.geometry import Polygon, LineString, MultiPoint, Point >>> s = geopandas.GeoSeries( ... [ ... Polygon([(0, 0), (2, 2), (0, 2)]), ... Polygon([(0, 0), (2, 2), (0, 2)]), ... LineString([(0, 0), (2, 2)]), ... MultiPoint([(0, 0), (0, 1)]), ... ], ... ) >>> s2 = geopandas.GeoSeries( ... [ ... Polygon([(0, 0), (-2, 0), (0, -2)]), ... LineString([(0, 1), (1, 1)]), ... LineString([(1, 1), (3, 0)]), ... Point(0, 1), ... ], ... index=range(1, 5), ... )
>>> s 0 POLYGON ((0 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0)) 1 POLYGON ((0 0, 2 2, 0 2, 0 0)) 2 LINESTRING (0 0, 2 2) 3 MULTIPOINT ((0 0), (0 1)) dtype: geometry
>>> s2 1 POLYGON ((0 0, -2 0, 0 -2, 0 0)) 2 LINESTRING (0 1, 1 1) 3 LINESTRING (1 1, 3 0) 4 POINT (0 1) dtype: geometry
We can check if each geometry of GeoSeries touches a single geometry:
>>> line = LineString([(0, 0), (-1, -2)]) >>> s.touches(line) 0 True 1 True 2 True 3 True dtype: bool
We can also check two GeoSeries against each other, row by row. The GeoSeries above have different indices. We can either align both GeoSeries based on index values and compare elements with the same index using
align=True
or ignore index and compare elements based on their matching order usingalign=False
:>>> s.touches(s2, align=True) 0 False 1 True 2 True 3 False 4 False dtype: bool
>>> s.touches(s2, align=False) 0 True 1 False 2 True 3 False dtype: bool
