imod.formats.gen.write#

imod.formats.gen.write(path: str | Path, geodataframe: geopandas.GeoDataFrame, feature_type: str | None = None) → None[source]#

Write a GeoDataFrame to a binary GEN file.

Note that the binary GEN file has two geometry types, circles and rectangles, which cannot be mapped directly from a shapely type. Points, lines, and polygons can be converted automatically.

In shapely, circles and rectangles will also be represented by polygons. To specifically write circles and rectangles to a binary GEN file, an additional column of strings is required which specifies the geometry type.

Parameters:

path (Union[str, Path])
geodataframe (gpd.GeoDataFrame)
feature_type (Optional[str]) – Which column to interpret as geometry type, one of: point, line, polygon, circle, rectangle. Default value is None.

Returns:

Writes file.

Return type:

None
