spatialdata.polygon_query(element, polygon, target_coordinate_system, filter_table=True, shapes=True, points=True, images=True, labels=True)#

Query a SpatialData object or a SpatialElement by a polygon or multipolygon.

Parameters:

  • element (Union[SpatialImage, MultiscaleSpatialImage, GeoDataFrame, DataFrame, SpatialData]) – The SpatialElement or SpatialData object to query.

  • polygon (Polygon | MultiPolygon) – The polygon/multipolygon to query by.

  • target_coordinate_system (str) – The coordinate system of the polygon/multipolygon.

  • filter_table (bool (default: True)) – Specifies whether to filter the tables to only include tables that annotate elements in the retrieved SpatialData object of the query.

  • [Deprecated] (labels) – This argument is now ignored and will be removed. Please filter the SpatialData object before calling this function.

  • [Deprecated] – This argument is now ignored and will be removed. Please filter the SpatialData object before calling this function.

  • [Deprecated] – This argument is now ignored and will be removed. Please filter the SpatialData object before calling this function.

  • [Deprecated] – This argument is now ignored and will be removed. Please filter the SpatialData object before calling this function.

Return type:

Union[SpatialImage, MultiscaleSpatialImage, GeoDataFrame, DataFrame, SpatialData, None]

Returns:

: The queried SpatialData object or SpatialElement containing the requested data. Eventual empty Elements are omitted by the SpatialData object.

Examples

Here is an example for multipolygon use case. If you have a sequence of polygons/multipolygons, in particular a GeoDataFrame, and you want to query the data that belongs to any one of these shapes, you can call this function to the multipolygon obtained by merging all the polygons. To merge you can use a unary union.
