cartopy.feature.NaturalEarthFeature

class cartopy.feature.NaturalEarthFeature(category, name, scale, **kwargs)

A simple interface to Natural Earth shapefiles.

See https://www.naturalearthdata.com/

__init__(category, name, scale, **kwargs)

Parameters

• category – The category of the dataset, i.e. either ‘cultural’ or ‘physical’.

• name – The name of the dataset, e.g. ‘admin_0_boundary_lines_land’.

• scale – The dataset scale, i.e. one of ‘10m’, ‘50m’, or ‘110m’, or Scaler object. Dataset scales correspond to 1:10,000,000, 1:50,000,000, and 1:110,000,000 respectively.

• **kwargs – Keyword arguments to be used when drawing this feature.

Methods

__init__(category, name, scale, **kwargs)	param category The category of the dataset, i.e. either 'cultural' or 'physical'.
geometries()	Returns an iterator of (shapely) geometries for this feature.
intersecting_geometries(extent)	Returns an iterator of shapely geometries that intersect with the given extent.
with_scale(new_scale)	Return a copy of the feature with a new scale.

Attributes

crs	The cartopy CRS for the geometries in this feature.
kwargs	The read-only dictionary of keyword arguments that are used when creating the Matplotlib artists for this feature.
