geopandas.GeoSeries.from_xy¶

classmethod GeoSeries.from_xy(x, y, z=None, index=None, crs=None, **kwargs)¶

Alternate constructor to create a GeoSeries of Point geometries from lists or arrays of x, y(, z) coordinates

In case of geographic coordinates, it is assumed that longitude is captured by x coordinates and latitude by y.

Parameters

x, y, ziterable
indexarray-like or Index, optional: The index for the GeoSeries. If not given and all coordinate inputs are Series with an equal index, that index is used.
crsvalue, optional: Coordinate Reference System of the geometry objects. Can be anything accepted by pyproj.CRS.from_user_input(), such as an authority string (eg “EPSG:4326”) or a WKT string.
**kwargs: Additional arguments passed to the Series constructor, e.g. name.

Returns

GeoSeries

Examples

>>> x = [2.5, 5, -3.0]
>>> y = [0.5, 1, 1.5]
>>> s = geopandas.GeoSeries.from_xy(x, y, crs="EPSG:4326")
>>> s
0    POINT (2.50000 0.50000)
1    POINT (5.00000 1.00000)
2    POINT (-3.00000 1.50000)
