GeoSeries.
from_file
Alternate constructor to create a GeoSeries from a file.
GeoSeries
Can load a GeoSeries from a file from any format recognized by fiona. See http://fiona.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual.html for details. From a file with attributes loads only geometry column. Note that to do that, GeoPandas first loads the whole GeoDataFrame.
File path or file handle to read from. Depending on which kwargs are included, the content of filename may vary. See http://fiona.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README.html#usage for usage details.
These arguments are passed to fiona.open, and can be used to access multi-layer data, data stored within archives (zip files), etc.
