Using GeoPandas via the pandas “geo” accessor#

GeoPandas can be used from pandas with the “geo” accessor, which is registered on pandas.Series when geopandas.accessors is first imported.

# Import geopandas.accessors to register the "geo" accessor.
import geopandas.accessors  # noqa # pylint: disable=unused-import
import pandas as pd
from shapely import Point

Using the Series.geo accessor#

Construct a Series using the GeometryDtype.

[2]:

s = pd.Series(
    [Point(1, 2), Point(3, 4), Point(5, 6)],
    dtype='geometry',
)
s

[2]:

0    POINT (1 2)
1    POINT (3 4)
2    POINT (5 6)
dtype: geometry

All GeoSeries methods and properties are available via the “geo” accessor.
