Functions

r.Intersect(input_layer, intersect_layer, output=None)

Computes geometric intersection of input features against a polygon boundary.

• input_layer — point, line, or polygon (file path or GeoDataFrame)
• intersect_layer — polygon layer defining the intersection boundary
• output — file path to save result (.gpkg, .shp, etc.) — omit to return a GeoDataFrame

r.Intersect("wells.shp", "boundary.shp", "result.gpkg")

---

r.Buffer(input_layer, distance, unit="meters", output=None)

Buffers input features by a given distance and unit.

• input_layer — point, line, or polygon (file path or GeoDataFrame)
• distance — numeric buffer distance
• unit — meters, km, miles, feet, usfeet, nautical miles
• output — file path to save result — omit to return a GeoDataFrame

r.Buffer("wells.shp", 1, "miles", "wells_buffer.gpkg")

---

r.Clip(input_layer, clip_layer, output=None)

Clips input features to the extent of a polygon clip boundary.

• input_layer — point, line, or polygon (file path or GeoDataFrame)
• clip_layer — polygon layer defining the clip boundary
• output — file path to save result — omit to return a GeoDataFrame

r.Clip("roads.shp", "county.shp", "roads_clipped.gpkg")

---

r.morph(input_path, output_path, **kwargs)

Universal format translation. Converts between shp, gpkg, gdb, csv, xlsx, xls, dbf with automatic CRS handling, field name fixes, and multi-layer support.

• input_path — source file or geodatabase
• output_path — destination file. Extension sets the format. Use trailing / for directory output (one file per layer). Use dot notation for named layers: roads.parcels.gpkg
• x_col, y_col — column names for X/Y coordinates (auto-detected if not provided)
• wkt_col — column containing WKT geometry (auto-detected if not provided)
• crs — coordinate reference system e.g. EPSG:4326 (required for tabular → spatial)

r.morph("roads.shp", "roads.gpkg")
r.morph("county.gdb", "county.gpkg")
r.morph("county.gdb", "output_folder/")
r.morph("owners.csv", "owners.geojson", crs="EPSG:4269")          # auto-detects lat/lon cols
r.morph("owners.csv", "owners.shp", x_col="LONGITUDE", y_col="LATITUDE", crs="EPSG:4269")
r.morph("roads.gpkg", "roads.parcels.gpkg")
r.morph("data.json", "data.gpkg")                                  # auto-detects GeoJSON vs tabular

Smart behavior:

• GDB / GPKG with multiple layers → detects all layers automatically
• CRS mismatch → auto-reprojects
• Shapefile field name limit (10 chars) → auto-truncates with warnings
• Invalid output path → plain English error
• Empty layers → skipped with a warning, not a crash

Changelog

v0.1.1 — 2026-06-26

• Added morph() — universal format translation between shp, gpkg, gdb, csv, xlsx, xls, dbf, geojson, json
• Smart geometry detection — auto-scans columns for WKT, lat/lon pairs without user hints
• GeoJSON and JSON support — JSON auto-detects whether content is GeoJSON or tabular
• GeoJSON output always reprojects to WGS84 (EPSG:4326) per spec
• Auto-detects all layers in GDB and GPKG sources
• Auto-reprojects on CRS mismatch
• Shapefile 10-char field name truncation with warnings
• Directory output (trailing slash) writes one file per layer
• Named layer dot notation: roads.parcels.gpkg
• Clean architecture: InputSpec, OutputSpec, MorphEngine, _Reader, _Writer, _GeomHint
