Using shapely to return co ordinates of multilinestring that intersect












0















I've generated random streets using Shapely's LineString function using the following code:



class StreetNetwork():

def __init__(self):
self.street_coords =
self.coords = {}

def gen_street_coords(self, length, coordRange):
min_, max_ = coordRange
for i in range(length):
street = LineString(((randint(min_, max_), randint(min_, max_)),
(randint(min_, max_), randint(min_,max_))))
self.street_coords.append(street)


If I use:



street_network = StreetNetwork()
street_network.gen_street_coords(10, [-50, 50])



I get an image like so: Simple



I've been looking at the following question which seems similar. I now want to iterate through my list of street_coords, and split streets into 2 if they cross with another street but I'm finding it difficult to find the co-ordinates of the point of intersection. However, as I am unfamiliar with using Shapely, I am struggling to use the "intersects" function.

          It is rather simple to check intersection of two LineString objects. To avoid getting empty geometries, I suggest to check for intersection first before computing it. Something like this:



          from shapely.geometry import LineString, Point

          def get_intersections(lines):
          point_intersections =
          line_intersections = #if the lines are equal the intersections is the complete line!
          lines_len = len(lines)
          for i in range(lines_len):
          for j in range(i+1, lines_len): #to avoid computing twice the same intersection we do some index handling
          l1, l2 = lines[i], lines[j]
          if l1.intersects(l2):
          intersection = l1.intersection(l2)
          if isinstance(intersection, LineString):
          line_intersections.append(intersection)
          elif isinstance(intersection, Point)
          point_intersections.append(intersection)
          else:
          raise Exception('What happened?')

          return point_intersections, line_intersections


          With the example:



          l1 = LineString([(0,0), (1,1)])
          l2 = LineString([(0,1), (1,0)])
          l3 = LineString([(5,5), (6,6)])
          l4 = LineString([(5,5), (6,6)])
          my_lines = [l1, l2, l3, l4]
          print get_intersections(my_lines)


          I got:



          [<shapely.geometry.point.Point object at 0x7f24f00a4710>,      
          <shapely.geometry.linestring.LineString object at 0x7f24f00a4750>]
