bigframes.geopandas.GeoSeries.simplify#

GeoSeries.simplify(tolerance, preserve_topology=True)[source]#

[Not Implemented] Use bigframes.bigquery.st_simplify(series, tolerance_meters), instead to set the tolerance in meters.

In GeoPandas, this returns a GeoSeries containing a simplified representation of each geometry.

Parameters:
  • tolerance (float) – All parts of a simplified geometry will be no more than tolerance distance from the original. It has the same units as the coordinate reference system of the GeoSeries. For example, using tolerance=100 in a projected CRS with meters as units means a distance of 100 meters in reality.

  • preserve_topology (bool) – Default True. False uses a quicker algorithm, but may produce self-intersecting or otherwise invalid geometries.

Returns:

Series of simplified geometries.

Return type:

bigframes.geopandas.GeoSeries

Raises:

NotImplementedError – GeoSeries.simplify is not supported. Use bigframes.bigquery.st_simplify(series, tolerance_meters), instead.
