Shapely: Polygon from String?
Question:
I have saved string representations of some Shapely Polygons:
'POLYGON ((51.0 3.0, 51.3 3.61, 51.3 3.0, 51.0 3.0))'
Is there some fast way of directly converting it back to the Polygon type? Or do I need to manually parse the strings to create Polygon objects?
Answers:
Shapely can directly parse this:
import shapely.wkt
P = shapely.wkt.loads('POLYGON ((51.0 3.0, 51.3 3.61, 51.3 3.0, 51.0 3.0))')
print(P)
