cartopy.feature.WFSFeature¶

class cartopy.feature.WFSFeature(wfs, features, **kwargs)[source]¶

A class capable of drawing a collection of geometries obtained from an OGC Web Feature Service (WFS).

This feature requires additional dependencies. If installed via pip, try pip install cartopy[ows].

__init__(wfs, features, **kwargs)[source]¶

Parameters

wfs (string or owslib.wfs.WebFeatureService instance) – The WebFeatureService instance, or URL of a WFS service, from which to retrieve the geometries.
features (string or list of strings) – The typename(s) of features available from the web service that will be retrieved. Somewhat analogous to layers in WMS/WMTS.
**kwargs – Keyword arguments to be used when drawing this feature.

Methods

__init__(wfs, features, **kwargs)

param wfs: The WebFeatureService instance, or URL of a WFS service, from which

geometries()

Return an iterator of (shapely) geometries for this feature.

intersecting_geometries(extent)

Return an iterator of shapely geometries that intersect with the given extent.

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.
