        Shapely is a BSD-licensed Python package for manipulation and analysis of
        planar geometric objects. It is based on the widely deployed `GEOS
        <http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/>`__ (the engine of `PostGIS
        <http://postgis.org>`__) and `JTS
        <http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/jtshome.htm>`__ (from which GEOS is ported)
        libraries. Shapely is not concerned with data formats or coordinate systems,
        but can be readily integrated with packages that are. For more details, see:
        
        * Shapely on `GitHub <https://github.com/Toblerity/Shapely>`__
        * The Shapely `manual <http://toblerity.github.com/shapely/manual.html>`__
        
        Requirements
        ============
        
        Shapely 1.4 requires
        
        * Python >=2.6 (including Python 3.x)
        * libgeos_c >=3.1 (3.0 and below have not been tested, YMMV)
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Windows users should use the executable installer, which contains the required
        GEOS DLL. Other users should acquire libgeos_c by any means, make sure that it
        is on the system library path, and install from the Python package index.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ pip install shapely
        
        Shapely is also provided by popular Python distributions like Canopy (Enthought)
        and Anaconda (Continuum Analytics).
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        Here is the canonical example of building an approximately circular patch by
        buffering a point.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> from shapely.geometry import Point
            >>> patch = Point(0.0, 0.0).buffer(10.0)
            >>> patch
            <shapely.geometry.polygon.Polygon object at 0x...>
            >>> patch.area
            313.65484905459385
        
        See the manual for comprehensive usage snippets and the dissolve.py and
        intersect.py examples.
        
        Integration
        ===========
        
        Shapely does not read or write data files, but it can serialize and deserialize
        using several well known formats and protocols. The shapely.wkb and shapely.wkt
        modules provide dumpers and loaders inspired by Python's pickle module.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> from shapely.wkt import dumps, loads
            >>> dumps(loads('POINT (0 0)'))
            'POINT (0.0000000000000000 0.0000000000000000)'
        
        All linear objects, such as the rings of a polygon (like ``patch`` above),
        provide the Numpy array interface.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> import numpy as np
            >>> np.array(patch.exterior)
            array([[  1.00000000e+01,   0.00000000e+00],
                   [  9.95184727e+00,  -9.80171403e-01],
                   [  9.80785280e+00,  -1.95090322e+00],
                   ...
                   [  1.00000000e+01,   0.00000000e+00]])
        
        That yields a Numpy array of ``[x, y]`` arrays. This is not always exactly what one
        wants for plotting shapes with Matplotlib (for example), so Shapely adds
        a ``xy`` property for obtaining separate arrays of coordinate x and y values.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> x, y = patch.exterior.xy
            >>> np.array(x)
            array([  1.00000000e+01,   9.95184727e+00,   9.80785280e+00,  ...])
        
        Numpy arrays of ``[x, y]`` arrays can also be adapted to Shapely linestrings.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> from shapely.geometry import LineString
            >>> LineString(np.array(patch.exterior)).length
            62.806623139095073
        
        Numpy arrays of x and y must be transposed.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> LineString(np.transpose(np.array(patch.exterior.xy))).length
            62.80662313909507
        
        Shapely can also integrate with other Python GIS packages using data modeled
        after GeoJSON.
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
            >>> import json
            >>> from shapely.geometry import mapping, shape
            >>> s = shape(json.loads('{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}'))
            >>> s
            <shapely.geometry.point.Point object at 0x...>
            >>> print(json.dumps(mapping(s)))
            {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}
        
        Development and Testing
        =======================
        
        Dependencies for developing Shapely are listed in requirements-dev.txt. Cython
        and Numpy are not required for production installations, only for development.
        Use of a virtual environment is strongly recommended.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            $ virtualenv .
            $ source bin/activate
            (env)$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
            (env)$ pip install -e .
        
        We use py.test to run Shapely's suite of unittests and doctests.
        
        .. code-block:: console
        
            (env)$ py.test tests
        
        Roadmap and Maintenance
        =======================
        
        Shapely 1.2.x is a maintenance-only branch which supports Python 2.4-2.6, but
        not Python 3+. There will be no new features in Shapely 1.2.x and only fixes
        for major bugs.
        
        Shapely 1.4.x is a maintenance-only branch supporting Pythons 2.7 and 3.3+.
