geopandas.sjoin

geopandas.sjoin(left_df, right_df, how='inner', op='intersects', lsuffix='left', rsuffix='right')

Spatial join of two GeoDataFrames.

Parameters:

left_df, right_df : GeoDataFrames

how : string, default ‘inner’

The type of join:

• ‘left’: use keys from left_df; retain only left_df geometry column
• ‘right’: use keys from right_df; retain only right_df geometry column
• ‘inner’: use intersection of keys from both dfs; retain only left_df geometry column

op : string, default ‘intersection’

Binary predicate, one of {‘intersects’, ‘contains’, ‘within’}. See http://toblerity.org/shapely/manual.html#binary-predicates.

lsuffix : string, default ‘left’

Suffix to apply to overlapping column names (left GeoDataFrame).

rsuffix : string, default ‘right’

Suffix to apply to overlapping column names (right GeoDataFrame).
