[GIS] Ploting Multipoint with Geopandas

Question

I created one geodataframe with geopandas. The geometry field was filled with Multipoint. However, when I try to plot the map to see multipoints, my map returned empty.

How can I plot geometry field (multipoint) using geopandas?

Here is a piece of it:

from geopandas import GeoSeries
from shapely.geometry import Point, MultiPoint

gs = GeoSeries([MultiPoint([(-120, 45), (121, 46)]), 
                MultiPoint([(-121.2, 46), (-123, 48)]), 
                MultiPoint([(-122.9, 47.5), (-125, 49)])])
print(gs)

gs.plot(marker='*', color='red', markersize=12, figsize=(4, 4))

Answer 1

Documentation suggests that the plot_series() function does not currently support MultiPoint geometries.

Would a single point geometry plot suffice for your purposes?

from geopandas import GeoSeries
from shapely.geometry import Point

pnts = [(-120, 45), (-121, 46), (-121.2, 46), (-123, 48), (-122.9, 47.5), (-125, 49)]
gs = GeoSeries(Point(pnt[0],pnt[1]) for pnt in pnts)
ax = gs.plot(marker='*', color='red', markersize=12, figsize=(4, 4))
ax.set_xbound(-126, -119)
ax.set_ybound(44, 50)
