Intersection of two overlapping polygons results in a single point #1061
Comments
I can reproduce this with the exception that the red polygon appears to have a whole where yours does not. But I think that is mostly a distraction to the issue here since I get the same point you do. My specs are only slightly different from yours so I'll just include a GEOS version: Both polygons report as Edit: This behavior reminds me of #1045. |
It seems I did not check for interiors, thanks for pointing out the hole in the polygon. But I agree, this should nonetheless return a polygon instead of a point. My GEOS version is the same as yours: |
I can also reproduce the single point result with latest Shapely (using GEOS 3.8). The polgyon that I get is:
|
I confirm that this was an issue in GEOS versions <= 3.8, and is is fixed in GEOS 3.9. |
I opened a PR to add this as a test case to GEOS: libgeos/geos#385 This will be fixed once new Shapely packages are released using GEOS 3.9, for the rest nothing to do about it in Shapely itself, so closing this issue. @GetPastTheMonkey thanks for the report! |
Expected behavior and actual behavior.
I have the following two polygons that I would like to intersect:
Expected behavior: The intersection of these two polygons should be a polygon (the area which is shaded red and yellow)
Actual behavior: The intersection results in a single point (the black dot in the image)
Steps to reproduce the problem.
The polygons are generated using data provided by OpenStreetMap. I am not able to provide you the script that generated the polygons. But I can give you the polygons:
Red polygon:
Yellow polygon:
After loading the polygons, run
yellow_polygon.intersection(red_polygon)
which results in the intersection point'POINT (8.9176630604334 47.165388105786)'
instead of a polygon.Operating system
