cartopy.feature.WFSFeature

class cartopy.feature.WFSFeature(wfs, features, **kwargs)

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)

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.
