connect_lines

module wntr.gis.geospatial

connect_lines(lines, threshold, plot=False)

Connect lines by identifying start and end nodes that are within a threshold distance

Parameters:

• lines (gpd.GeoDataFrame) – GeoDataFrame with LineString geometry

• tolerance (float) – Maximum distance between line endpoints, used to define connecting Point geometry

• plot (bool) – Boolean indicating if a plot is created for the dendogram, and original and connected lines

Returns:

• line GeoDataFrame contains LineString geometry, start_node_name, and end_node_name, along with original columns in lines

• node GeoDataFrame contains connecting Point geometry and node names

Return type:

Tuple[line GeoDataFrame, node GeoDataFrame]
