H3Regionalizer

srai.regionalizers.H3Regionalizer 

H3Regionalizer(resolution: int, buffer: bool = True)

Bases: Regionalizer

H3 Regionalizer.

H3 Regionalizer allows the given geometries to be divided into H3 cells - hexagons with pentagons as a very rare exception

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
resolution

Resolution of the cells. See [1] for a full comparison.

TYPE: int

buffer

Whether to fully cover the geometries with H3 Cells (visible on the borders). Defaults to True.

TYPE: bool DEFAULT: True

RAISES DESCRIPTION
ValueError

If resolution is not between 0 and 15.

transform 

transform(gdf: gpd.GeoDataFrame) -> gpd.GeoDataFrame

Regionalize a given GeoDataFrame.

Transforms given geometries into H3 cells of given resolution and optionally applies buffering.

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
gdf

(Multi)Polygons to be regionalized.

TYPE: GeoDataFrame

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
GeoDataFrame

gpd.GeoDataFrame: H3 cells.
RAISES DESCRIPTION
ValueError

If provided GeoDataFrame has no crs defined.
