=============
Spatial index
=============
.. currentmodule:: geopandas
GeoPandas offers built-in support for spatial indexing using an R-Tree algorithm.
Depending on the ability to import ``pygeos``, GeoPandas will either use
``pygeos.STRtree`` or ``rtree.index.Index``. The main interface for both is the
same and follows the ``pygeos`` model.
``GeoSeries.sindex`` creates a spatial index, which can use the methods and
properties documented below.
Constructor
-----------
.. autosummary::
:toctree: api/
GeoSeries.sindex
Spatial Index object
--------------------
The spatial index object returned from :attr:`GeoSeries.sindex` has the following
methods:
.. currentmodule:: geopandas.sindex.SpatialIndex
.. autosummary::
:toctree: api/
intersection
is_empty
query
query_bulk
size
valid_query_predicates
The concrete implementations currently available are
``geopandas.sindex.PyGEOSSTRTreeIndex`` and ``geopandas.sindex.RTreeIndex``.
In addition to the methods listed above, the ``rtree``-based spatial index
(``geopandas.sindex.RTreeIndex``) offers the full capability of
``rtree.index.Index`` - see the full API in the `rtree documentation`_.
