buffer.buffer(gdf, x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max, factor=1.9)

Creates buffer around points. Buffer is rectangle with x == length of map divided by amounts of points in x-direction and y = length of map divided by amounts of poitns in y direction. CRS is variable.

gdf : geopandas.GeoDataFrame()

gdf[‘len_x’], gdf[‘len_y’], gdf[‘CENTROID’]

x_max : float

length of map in x direction

y_max : float

length of map in y direction

factor : float Defines the boarder around each rectangle by (rectangle’s width)/ factor

polygons : list

polygons of shape rectangle
