[1057] Get the list of values from a GeoSeries in GeoPandas

To get the list of values from a GeoSeries in GeoPandas, you can use the .tolist() method. This method converts the GeoSeries into a list of geometries. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Import GeoPandas:

   import geopandas as gpd

2. Create or load your GeoSeries:

   from shapely.geometry import Point
    
   # Example GeoSeries
   geo_series = gpd.GeoSeries([Point(1, 1), Point(2, 2), Point(3, 3)])

3. Convert the GeoSeries to a list:

   geo_list = geo_series.tolist()

4. Print the list (optional):

   print(geo_list)

Here’s the complete code snippet:

import geopandas as gpd
from shapely.geometry import Point
 
# Example GeoSeries
geo_series = gpd.GeoSeries([Point(1, 1), Point(2, 2), Point(3, 3)])
 
# Convert the GeoSeries to a list
geo_list = geo_series.tolist()
 
# Print the list
print(geo_list)

Explanation:

• Import GeoPandas: This library is essential for working with geospatial data in Python.
• Create or Load GeoSeries: You can create a GeoSeries from a list of geometries (e.g., Point objects) or load it from a file.
• Convert to List: The .tolist() method converts the GeoSeries into a standard Python list containing the geometries.
• Print the List: This step is optional but useful for verifying the conversion.

This method is straightforward and efficient for extracting the geometries from a GeoSeries into a list format.
