H3Neighbourhood

srai.neighbourhoods.H3Neighbourhood(
    regions_gdf=None, include_center=False
)

Bases: Neighbourhood[str]

H3 Neighbourhood.

This class allows to get the neighbours of an H3 region.

If a regions GeoDataFrame is provided, only the neighbours that are in the regions GeoDataFrame will be returned by the methods of this instance.

If a region is a part of the k-th ring of a region

and is included in the GeoDataFrame, it will be returned by get_neighbours_at_distance method with distance k even when there is no path of length k between the two regions.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
regions_gdf

The regions that are being analyzed. The H3Neighbourhood will only look for neighbours among these regions. Defaults to None.

TYPE: Optional[gpd.GeoDataFrame] DEFAULT: None

include_center

Whether to include the region itself in the neighbours.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
