geometry objects and perform geometric operations.
GeoPandas geometry operations are cartesian. Objects are naive with
respect to coordinate systems, although the coordinate reference
system (crs) is stored as an attribute when loading from a file. In
the future, enforcement of like coordinates for operations and
projection into other reference systems may be implemented.
GeoPandas geometry operations are cartesian. The coordinate reference
system (crs) can stored as an attribute on an object, and is
automatically set when loading from a file. Objects may be
transformed to new coordinate systems with the `to_crs()` method.
There is currently no enforcement of like coordinates for operations, but that may change in the future.
