resample_line(line, step, keep_vertices=False)#

Densify a line by adding vertices.

This function densifies a line by adding a vertex every ‘step’ along the line. It preserves the first and last vertex of the line.

Parameters:

  • line (LineString) – The line to densify.

  • step (float) – The step (in meters) to resample the geometry.

  • keep_vertices (bool, optional) – If set to true, original vertices of the line are kept. This is useful to keep the exact same geographical shape.

Returns:

LineString

Examples

>>> line = LineString([(1, 1), (5, 1)])
>>> resample_line(line, 1)
<LINESTRING (1 1, 2 1, 3 1, 4 1, 5 1)>
