    Overview

    The Python Shapefile Library (PyShp) provides read and write support for the Esri Shapefile format. The Shapefile format is a popular Geographic Information System vector data format created by Esri. For more information about this format please read the well-written "ESRI Shapefile Technical Description - July 1998" located at http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/p dfs/shapefile.pdf . The Esri document describes the shp and shx file formats. However a third file format called dbf is also required. This format is documented on the web as the "XBase File Format Description" and is a simple file-based database format created in the 1960's. For more on this specification see: http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/index.html

    Both the Esri and XBase file-formats are very simple in design and memory efficient which is part of the reason the shapefile format remains popular despite the numerous ways to store and exchange GIS data available today.

    Pyshp is compatible with Python 2.7-3.x.

    This document provides examples for using PyShp to read and write shapefiles. However many more examples are continually added to the blog http://GeospatialPython.com, and by searching for PyShp on https://gis.stackexchange.com.

    Currently the sample census blockgroup shapefile referenced in the examples is available on the GitHub project site at https://github.com/GeospatialPython/pyshp. These examples are straight-forward and you can also easily run them against your own shapefiles with minimal modification.

    Important: If you are new to GIS you should read about map projections. Please visit: https://github.com/GeospatialPython/pyshp/wiki/Map-Projections

    I sincerely hope this library eliminates the mundane distraction of simply reading and writing data, and allows you to focus on the challenging and FUN part of your geospatial project.

    The Basics

    Before doing anything you must import the library.

    >>> import shapefile

    The examples below will use a shapefile created from the U.S. Census Bureau Blockgroups data set near San Francisco, CA and available in the git repository of the PyShp GitHub site.

    Reading Shapefiles

    The Reader Class

    Reading Shapefiles from Local Files

    To read a shapefile create a new "Reader" object and pass it the name of an existing shapefile. The shapefile format is actually a collection of three files. You specify the base filename of the shapefile or the complete filename of any of the shapefile component files.

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups")

    OR

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups.shp")

    OR

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups.dbf")

    OR any of the other 5+ formats which are potentially part of a shapefile. The library does not care about file extensions. You can also specify that you only want to read some of the file extensions through the use of keyword arguments:

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader(dbf="shapefiles/blockgroups.dbf")

    Reading Shapefiles from Zip Files

    If your shapefile is wrapped inside a zip file, the library is able to handle that too, meaning you don't have to worry about unzipping the contents:

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups.zip")

    If the zip file contains multiple shapefiles, just specify which shapefile to read by additionally specifying the relative path after the ".zip" part:

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups_multishapefile.zip/blockgroups2.shp")

    Reading Shapefiles from URLs

    Finally, you can use all of the above methods to read shapefiles directly from the internet, by giving a url instead of a local path, e.g.:

    >>> # from a zipped shapefile on website
>>> sf = shapefile.Reader("https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/diva/rrd/NIC_rrd.zip")

>>> # from a shapefile collection of files in a github repository
>>> sf = shapefile.Reader("https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/blob/master/110m_cultural/ne_110m_admin_0_tiny_countries.shp?raw=true")

    This will automatically download the file(s) to a temporary location before reading, saving you a lot of time and repetitive boilerplate code when you just want quick access to some external data.

    Reading Shapefiles from File-Like Objects

    You can also load shapefiles from any Python file-like object using keyword arguments to specify any of the three files. This feature is very powerful and allows you to custom load shapefiles from arbitrary storage formats, such as a protected url or zip file, a serialized object, or in some cases a database.

    >>> myshp = open("shapefiles/blockgroups.shp", "rb")
>>> mydbf = open("shapefiles/blockgroups.dbf", "rb")
>>> r = shapefile.Reader(shp=myshp, dbf=mydbf)

    Notice in the examples above the shx file is never used. The shx file is a very simple fixed-record index for the variable-length records in the shp file. This file is optional for reading. If it's available PyShp will use the shx file to access shape records a little faster but will do just fine without it.

    Reading Shapefiles Using the Context Manager

    The "Reader" class can be used as a context manager, to ensure open file objects are properly closed when done reading the data:

    >>> with shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups.shp") as shp:
...     print(shp)
shapefile Reader
    663 shapes (type 'POLYGON')
    663 records (44 fields)

    Reading Shapefile Meta-Data

    Shapefiles have a number of attributes for inspecting the file contents. A shapefile is a container for a specific type of geometry, and this can be checked using the shapeType attribute.

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups.dbf")
>>> sf.shapeType
5

    Shape types are represented by numbers between 0 and 31 as defined by the shapefile specification and listed below. It is important to note that the numbering system has several reserved numbers that have not been used yet, therefore the numbers of the existing shape types are not sequential:

    • NULL = 0
    • POINT = 1
    • POLYLINE = 3
    • POLYGON = 5
    • MULTIPOINT = 8
    • POINTZ = 11
    • POLYLINEZ = 13
    • POLYGONZ = 15
    • MULTIPOINTZ = 18
    • POINTM = 21
    • POLYLINEM = 23
    • POLYGONM = 25
    • MULTIPOINTM = 28
    • MULTIPATCH = 31

    Based on this we can see that our blockgroups shapefile contains Polygon type shapes. The shape types are also defined as constants in the shapefile module, so that we can compare types more intuitively:

    >>> sf.shapeType == shapefile.POLYGON
True

    For convenience, you can also get the name of the shape type as a string:

    >>> sf.shapeTypeName == 'POLYGON'
True

    Other pieces of meta-data that we can check include the number of features and the bounding box area the shapefile covers:

    >>> len(sf)
663
>>> sf.bbox
[-122.515048, 37.652916, -122.327622, 37.863433]

    Finally, if you would prefer to work with the entire shapefile in a different format, you can convert all of it to a GeoJSON dictionary, although you may lose some information in the process, such as z- and m-values:

    >>> sf.__geo_interface__['type']
'FeatureCollection'

    Reading Geometry

    A shapefile's geometry is the collection of points or shapes made from vertices and implied arcs representing physical locations. All types of shapefiles just store points. The metadata about the points determine how they are handled by software.

    You can get a list of the shapefile's geometry by calling the shapes() method.

    >>> shapes = sf.shapes()

    The shapes method returns a list of Shape objects describing the geometry of each shape record.

    >>> len(shapes)
663

    To read a single shape by calling its index use the shape() method. The index is the shape's count from 0. So to read the 8th shape record you would use its index which is 7.

    >>> s = sf.shape(7)
>>> s
Shape #7: POLYGON

>>> # Read the bbox of the 8th shape to verify
>>> # Round coordinates to 3 decimal places
>>> ['%.3f' % coord for coord in s.bbox]
['-122.450', '37.801', '-122.442', '37.808']

    Each shape record (except Points) contains the following attributes. Records of shapeType Point do not have a bounding box 'bbox'.

    >>> for name in dir(shapes[3]):
...     if not name.startswith('_'):
...         name
'bbox'
'oid'
'parts'
'points'
'shapeType'
'shapeTypeName'

    • oid: The shape's index position in the original shapefile.

      >>> shapes[3].oid
3

    • shapeType: an integer representing the type of shape as defined by the shapefile specification.

      >>> shapes[3].shapeType
5

    • shapeTypeName: a string representation of the type of shape as defined by shapeType. Read-only.

      >>> shapes[3].shapeTypeName
'POLYGON'

    • bbox: If the shape type contains multiple points this tuple describes the lower left (x,y) coordinate and upper right corner coordinate creating a complete box around the points. If the shapeType is a Null (shapeType == 0) then an AttributeError is raised.

      >>> # Get the bounding box of the 4th shape.
>>> # Round coordinates to 3 decimal places
>>> bbox = shapes[3].bbox
>>> ['%.3f' % coord for coord in bbox]
['-122.486', '37.787', '-122.446', '37.811']

    • parts: Parts simply group collections of points into shapes. If the shape record has multiple parts this attribute contains the index of the first point of each part. If there is only one part then a list containing 0 is returned.

      >>> shapes[3].parts
[0]

    • points: The points attribute contains a list of tuples containing an (x,y) coordinate for each point in the shape.

      >>> len(shapes[3].points)
173
>>> # Get the 8th point of the fourth shape
>>> # Truncate coordinates to 3 decimal places
>>> shape = shapes[3].points[7]
>>> ['%.3f' % coord for coord in shape]
['-122.471', '37.787']

    In most cases, however, if you need to do more than just type or bounds checking, you may want to convert the geometry to the more human-readable GeoJSON format, where lines and polygons are grouped for you:

    >>> s = sf.shape(0)
>>> geoj = s.__geo_interface__
>>> geoj["type"]
'MultiPolygon'

    The results from the shapes() method similarly supports converting to GeoJSON:

    >>> shapes.__geo_interface__['type']
'GeometryCollection'

    Note: In some cases, if the conversion from shapefile geometry to GeoJSON encountered any problems or potential issues, a warning message will be displayed with information about the affected geometry. To ignore or suppress these warnings, you can disable this behavior by setting the module constant VERBOSE to False:

    >>> shapefile.VERBOSE = False

    Reading Records

    A record in a shapefile contains the attributes for each shape in the collection of geometries. Records are stored in the dbf file. The link between geometry and attributes is the foundation of all geographic information systems. This critical link is implied by the order of shapes and corresponding records in the shp geometry file and the dbf attribute file.

    The field names of a shapefile are available as soon as you read a shapefile. You can call the "fields" attribute of the shapefile as a Python list. Each field is a Python list with the following information:

    • Field name: the name describing the data at this column index.
    • Field type: the type of data at this column index. Types can be:
      • "C": Characters, text.
      • "N": Numbers, with or without decimals.
      • "F": Floats (same as "N").
      • "L": Logical, for boolean True/False values.
      • "D": Dates.
      • "M": Memo, has no meaning within a GIS and is part of the xbase spec instead.
    • Field length: the length of the data found at this column index. Older GIS software may truncate this length to 8 or 11 characters for "Character" fields.
    • Decimal length: the number of decimal places found in "Number" fields.

    To see the fields for the Reader object above (sf) call the "fields" attribute:

    >>> fields = sf.fields

>>> assert fields == [("DeletionFlag", "C", 1, 0), ["AREA", "N", 18, 5],
... ["BKG_KEY", "C", 12, 0], ["POP1990", "N", 9, 0], ["POP90_SQMI", "N", 10, 1],
... ["HOUSEHOLDS", "N", 9, 0],
... ["MALES", "N", 9, 0], ["FEMALES", "N", 9, 0], ["WHITE", "N", 9, 0],
... ["BLACK", "N", 8, 0], ["AMERI_ES", "N", 7, 0], ["ASIAN_PI", "N", 8, 0],
... ["OTHER", "N", 8, 0], ["HISPANIC", "N", 8, 0], ["AGE_UNDER5", "N", 8, 0],
... ["AGE_5_17", "N", 8, 0], ["AGE_18_29", "N", 8, 0], ["AGE_30_49", "N", 8, 0],
... ["AGE_50_64", "N", 8, 0], ["AGE_65_UP", "N", 8, 0],
... ["NEVERMARRY", "N", 8, 0], ["MARRIED", "N", 9, 0], ["SEPARATED", "N", 7, 0],
... ["WIDOWED", "N", 8, 0], ["DIVORCED", "N", 8, 0], ["HSEHLD_1_M", "N", 8, 0],
... ["HSEHLD_1_F", "N", 8, 0], ["MARHH_CHD", "N", 8, 0],
... ["MARHH_NO_C", "N", 8, 0], ["MHH_CHILD", "N", 7, 0],
... ["FHH_CHILD", "N", 7, 0], ["HSE_UNITS", "N", 9, 0], ["VACANT", "N", 7, 0],
... ["OWNER_OCC", "N", 8, 0], ["RENTER_OCC", "N", 8, 0],
... ["MEDIAN_VAL", "N", 7, 0], ["MEDIANRENT", "N", 4, 0],
... ["UNITS_1DET", "N", 8, 0], ["UNITS_1ATT", "N", 7, 0], ["UNITS2", "N", 7, 0],
... ["UNITS3_9", "N", 8, 0], ["UNITS10_49", "N", 8, 0],
... ["UNITS50_UP", "N", 8, 0], ["MOBILEHOME", "N", 7, 0]]

    The first field of a dbf file is always a 1-byte field called "DeletionFlag", which indicates records that have been deleted but not removed. However, since this flag is very rarely used, PyShp currently will return all records
    regardless of their deletion flag, and the flag is also not included in the list of record values. In other words, the DeletionFlag field has no real purpose, and should in most cases be ignored. For instance, to get a list of all fieldnames:

    >>> fieldnames = [f[0] for f in sf.fields[1:]]

    You can get a list of the shapefile's records by calling the records() method:

    >>> records = sf.records()

>>> len(records)
663

    To read a single record call the record() method with the record's index:

    >>> rec = sf.record(3)

    Each record is a list-like Record object containing the values corresponding to each field in the field list (except the DeletionFlag). A record's values can be accessed by positional indexing or slicing. For example in the blockgroups shapefile the 2nd and 3rd fields are the blockgroup id and the 1990 population count of that San Francisco blockgroup:

    >>> rec[1:3]
['060750601001', 4715]

    For simpler access, the fields of a record can also accessed via the name of the field, either as a key or as an attribute name. The blockgroup id (BKG_KEY) of the blockgroups shapefile can also be retrieved as:

    >>> rec['BKG_KEY']
'060750601001'

>>> rec.BKG_KEY
'060750601001'

    The record values can be easily integrated with other programs by converting it to a field-value dictionary:

    >>> dct = rec.as_dict()
>>> sorted(dct.items())
[('AGE_18_29', 1467), ('AGE_30_49', 1681), ('AGE_50_64', 92), ('AGE_5_17', 848), ('AGE_65_UP', 30), ('AGE_UNDER5', 597), ('AMERI_ES', 6), ('AREA', 2.34385), ('ASIAN_PI', 452), ('BKG_KEY', '060750601001'), ('BLACK', 1007), ('DIVORCED', 149), ('FEMALES', 2095), ('FHH_CHILD', 16), ('HISPANIC', 416), ('HOUSEHOLDS', 1195), ('HSEHLD_1_F', 40), ('HSEHLD_1_M', 22), ('HSE_UNITS', 1258), ('MALES', 2620), ('MARHH_CHD', 79), ('MARHH_NO_C', 958), ('MARRIED', 2021), ('MEDIANRENT', 739), ('MEDIAN_VAL', 337500), ('MHH_CHILD', 0), ('MOBILEHOME', 0), ('NEVERMARRY', 703), ('OTHER', 288), ('OWNER_OCC', 66), ('POP1990', 4715), ('POP90_SQMI', 2011.6), ('RENTER_OCC', 3733), ('SEPARATED', 49), ('UNITS10_49', 49), ('UNITS2', 160), ('UNITS3_9', 672), ('UNITS50_UP', 0), ('UNITS_1ATT', 302), ('UNITS_1DET', 43), ('VACANT', 93), ('WHITE', 2962), ('WIDOWED', 37)]

    If at a later point you need to check the record's index position in the original shapefile, you can do this through the "oid" attribute:

    >>> rec.oid
3

    Reading Geometry and Records Simultaneously

    You may want to examine both the geometry and the attributes for a record at the same time. The shapeRecord() and shapeRecords() method let you do just that.

    Calling the shapeRecords() method will return the geometry and attributes for all shapes as a list of ShapeRecord objects. Each ShapeRecord instance has a "shape" and "record" attribute. The shape attribute is a Shape object as discussed in the first section "Reading Geometry". The record attribute is a list-like object containing field values as demonstrated in the "Reading Records" section.

    >>> shapeRecs = sf.shapeRecords()

    Let's read the blockgroup key and the population for the 4th blockgroup:

    >>> shapeRecs[3].record[1:3]
['060750601001', 4715]

    The results from the shapeRecords() method is a list-like object that can be easily converted to GeoJSON through the __geo_interface__:

    >>> shapeRecs.__geo_interface__['type']
'FeatureCollection'

    The shapeRecord() method reads a single shape/record pair at the specified index. To get the 4th shape record from the blockgroups shapefile use the third index:

    >>> shapeRec = sf.shapeRecord(3)
>>> shapeRec.record[1:3]
['060750601001', 4715]

    Each individual shape record also supports the __geo_interface__ to convert it to a GeoJSON feature:

    >>> shapeRec.__geo_interface__['type']
'Feature'

    Writing Shapefiles

    The Writer Class

    PyShp tries to be as flexible as possible when writing shapefiles while maintaining some degree of automatic validation to make sure you don't accidentally write an invalid file.

    PyShp can write just one of the component files such as the shp or dbf file without writing the others. So in addition to being a complete shapefile library, it can also be used as a basic dbf (xbase) library. Dbf files are a common database format which are often useful as a standalone simple database format. And even shp files occasionally have uses as a standalone format. Some web-based GIS systems use an user-uploaded shp file to specify an area of interest. Many precision agriculture chemical field sprayers also use the shp format as a control file for the sprayer system (usually in combination with custom database file formats).

    Writing Shapefiles to Local Files

    To create a shapefile you begin by initiating a new Writer instance, passing it the file path and name to save to:

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/testfile')
>>> w.field('field1', 'C')

    File extensions are optional when reading or writing shapefiles. If you specify them PyShp ignores them anyway. When you save files you can specify a base file name that is used for all three file types. Or you can specify a name for one or more file types:

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer(dbf='shapefiles/test/onlydbf.dbf')
>>> w.field('field1', 'C')

    In that case, any file types not assigned will not save and only file types with file names will be saved.

    Writing Shapefiles to File-Like Objects

    Just as you can read shapefiles from python file-like objects you can also write to them:

    >>> try:
...     from StringIO import StringIO
... except ImportError:
...     from io import BytesIO as StringIO
>>> shp = StringIO()
>>> shx = StringIO()
>>> dbf = StringIO()
>>> w = shapefile.Writer(shp=shp, shx=shx, dbf=dbf)
>>> w.field('field1', 'C')
>>> w.record()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.close()

>>> # To read back the files you could call the "StringIO.getvalue()" method later.
>>> assert shp.getvalue()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader(shp=shp, shx=shx, dbf=dbf)

    Writing Shapefiles Using the Context Manager

    The "Writer" class automatically closes the open files and writes the final headers once it is garbage collected. In case of a crash and to make the code more readable, it is nevertheless recommended you do this manually by calling the "close()" method:

    >>> w.close()

    Alternatively, you can also use the "Writer" class as a context manager, to ensure open file objects are properly closed and final headers written once you exit the with-clause:

    >>> with shapefile.Writer("shapefiles/test/contextwriter") as w:
... 	w.field('field1', 'C')
... 	pass

    Setting the Shape Type

    The shape type defines the type of geometry contained in the shapefile. All of the shapes must match the shape type setting.

    There are three ways to set the shape type:

    • Set it when creating the class instance.
    • Set it by assigning a value to an existing class instance.
    • Set it automatically to the type of the first non-null shape by saving the shapefile.

    To manually set the shape type for a Writer object when creating the Writer:

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/shapetype', shapeType=3)
>>> w.field('field1', 'C')

>>> w.shapeType
3

    OR you can set it after the Writer is created:

    >>> w.shapeType = 1

>>> w.shapeType
1

    Adding Records

    Before you can add records you must first create the fields that define what types of values will go into each attribute.

    There are several different field types, all of which support storing None values as NULL.

    Text fields are created using the 'C' type, and the third 'size' argument can be customized to the expected length of text values to save space:

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> w.field('TEXT', 'C')
>>> w.field('SHORT_TEXT', 'C', size=5)
>>> w.field('LONG_TEXT', 'C', size=250)
>>> w.null()
>>> w.record('Hello', 'World', 'World'*50)
>>> w.close()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> assert r.record(0) == ['Hello', 'World', 'World'*50]

    Date fields are created using the 'D' type, and can be created using either date objects, lists, or a YYYYMMDD formatted string. Field length or decimal have no impact on this type:

    >>> from datetime import date
>>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> w.field('DATE', 'D')
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.record(date(1898,1,30))
>>> w.record([1998,1,30])
>>> w.record('19980130')
>>> w.record(None)
>>> w.close()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> assert r.record(0) == [date(1898,1,30)]
>>> assert r.record(1) == [date(1998,1,30)]
>>> assert r.record(2) == [date(1998,1,30)]
>>> assert r.record(3) == [None]

    Numeric fields are created using the 'N' type (or the 'F' type, which is exactly the same). By default the fourth decimal argument is set to zero, essentially creating an integer field. To store floats you must set the decimal argument to the precision of your choice. To store very large numbers you must increase the field length size to the total number of digits (including comma and minus).

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> w.field('INT', 'N')
>>> w.field('LOWPREC', 'N', decimal=2)
>>> w.field('MEDPREC', 'N', decimal=10)
>>> w.field('HIGHPREC', 'N', decimal=30)
>>> w.field('FTYPE', 'F', decimal=10)
>>> w.field('LARGENR', 'N', 101)
>>> nr = 1.3217328
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.record(INT=nr, LOWPREC=nr, MEDPREC=nr, HIGHPREC=-3.2302e-25, FTYPE=nr, LARGENR=int(nr)*10**100)
>>> w.record(None, None, None, None, None, None)
>>> w.close()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> assert r.record(0) == [1, 1.32, 1.3217328, -3.2302e-25, 1.3217328, 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000]
>>> assert r.record(1) == [None, None, None, None, None, None]

    Finally, we can create boolean fields by setting the type to 'L'. This field can take True or False values, or 1 (True) or 0 (False). None is interpreted as missing.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> w.field('BOOLEAN', 'L')
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.record(True)
>>> w.record(1)
>>> w.record(False)
>>> w.record(0)
>>> w.record(None)
>>> w.record("Nonesense")
>>> w.close()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> r.record(0)
Record #0: [True]
>>> r.record(1)
Record #1: [True]
>>> r.record(2)
Record #2: [False]
>>> r.record(3)
Record #3: [False]
>>> r.record(4)
Record #4: [None]
>>> r.record(5)
Record #5: [None]

    You can also add attributes using keyword arguments where the keys are field names.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/dtype')
>>> w.field('FIRST_FLD','C','40')
>>> w.field('SECOND_FLD','C','40')
>>> w.null()
>>> w.null()
>>> w.record('First', 'Line')
>>> w.record(FIRST_FLD='First', SECOND_FLD='Line')
>>> w.close()

    Adding Geometry

    Geometry is added using one of several convenience methods. The "null" method is used for null shapes, "point" is used for point shapes, "multipoint" is used for multipoint shapes, "line" for lines, "poly" for polygons.

    Adding a Null shape

    A shapefile may contain some records for which geometry is not available, and may be set using the "null" method. Because Null shape types (shape type 0) have no geometry the "null" method is called without any arguments.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/null')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.null()
>>> w.record('nullgeom')

>>> w.close()

    Adding a Point shape

    Point shapes are added using the "point" method. A point is specified by an x and y value.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/point')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.point(122, 37) 
>>> w.record('point1')

>>> w.close()

    Adding a MultiPoint shape

    If your point data allows for the possibility of multiple points per feature, use "multipoint" instead. These are specified as a list of xy point coordinates.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/multipoint')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.multipoint([[122,37], [124,32]]) 
>>> w.record('multipoint1')

>>> w.close()

    Adding a LineString shape

    For LineString shapefiles, each shape is given as a list of one or more linear features. Each of the linear features must have at least two points.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/line')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.line([
...			[[1,5],[5,5],[5,1],[3,3],[1,1]], # line 1
...			[[3,2],[2,6]] # line 2
...			])

>>> w.record('linestring1')

>>> w.close()

    Adding a Polygon shape

    Similarly to LineString, Polygon shapes consist of multiple polygons, and must be given as a list of polygons. The main difference is that polygons must have at least 4 points and the last point must be the same as the first. It's also okay if you forget to repeat the first point at the end; PyShp automatically checks and closes the polygons if you don't.

    It's important to note that for Polygon shapefiles, your polygon coordinates must be ordered in a clockwise direction. If any of the polygons have holes, then the hole polygon coordinates must be ordered in a counterclockwise direction. The direction of your polygons determines how shapefile readers will distinguish between polygon outlines and holes.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/polygon')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.poly([
...	        [[113,24], [112,32], [117,36], [122,37], [118,20]], # poly 1
...	        [[116,29],[116,26],[119,29],[119,32]], # hole 1
...         [[15,2], [17,6], [22,7]]  # poly 2
...        ])
>>> w.record('polygon1')

>>> w.close()

    Adding from an existing Shape object

    Finally, geometry can be added by passing an existing "Shape" object to the "shape" method. You can also pass it any GeoJSON dictionary or __geo_interface__ compatible object. This can be particularly useful for copying from one file to another:

    >>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/polygon')

>>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/copy')
>>> w.fields = r.fields[1:] # skip first deletion field

>>> # adding existing Shape objects
>>> for shaperec in r.iterShapeRecords():
...     w.record(*shaperec.record)
...     w.shape(shaperec.shape)

>>> # or GeoJSON dicts
>>> for shaperec in r.iterShapeRecords():
...     w.record(*shaperec.record)
...     w.shape(shaperec.shape.__geo_interface__)

>>> w.close()

    Geometry and Record Balancing

    Because every shape must have a corresponding record it is critical that the number of records equals the number of shapes to create a valid shapefile. You must take care to add records and shapes in the same order so that the record data lines up with the geometry data. For example:

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/balancing', shapeType=shapefile.POINT)
>>> w.field("field1", "C")
>>> w.field("field2", "C")

>>> w.record("row", "one")
>>> w.point(1, 1)

>>> w.record("row", "two")
>>> w.point(2, 2)

    To help prevent accidental misalignment PyShp has an "auto balance" feature to make sure when you add either a shape or a record the two sides of the equation line up. This way if you forget to update an entry the shapefile will still be valid and handled correctly by most shapefile software. Autobalancing is NOT turned on by default. To activate it set the attribute autoBalance to 1 or True:

    >>> w.autoBalance = 1
>>> w.record("row", "three")
>>> w.record("row", "four")
>>> w.point(4, 4)

>>> w.recNum == w.shpNum
True

    You also have the option of manually calling the balance() method at any time to ensure the other side is up to date. When balancing is used null shapes are created on the geometry side or records with a value of "NULL" for each field is created on the attribute side. This gives you flexibility in how you build the shapefile. You can create all of the shapes and then create all of the records or vice versa.

    >>> w.autoBalance = 0
>>> w.record("row", "five")
>>> w.record("row", "six")
>>> w.record("row", "seven")
>>> w.point(5, 5)
>>> w.point(6, 6)
>>> w.balance()

>>> w.recNum == w.shpNum
True

    If you do not use the autoBalance() or balance() method and forget to manually balance the geometry and attributes the shapefile will be viewed as corrupt by most shapefile software.

    Common Errors and Fixes

    Below we list some commonly encountered errors and ways to fix them.

    Warnings and Logging

    By default, PyShp chooses to be transparent and provide the user with logging information and warnings about non-critical issues when reading or writing shapefiles. This behavior is controlled by the module constant VERBOSE (which defaults to True). If you would rather suppress this information, you can simply set this to False:

    >>> shapefile.VERBOSE = False

    All logging happens under the namespace shapefile. So another way to suppress all PyShp warnings would be to alter the logging behavior for that namespace:

    >>> import logging
>>> logging.getLogger('shapefile').setLevel(logging.ERROR)

    Shapefile Encoding Errors

    PyShp supports reading and writing shapefiles in any language or character encoding, and provides several options for decoding and encoding text. Most shapefiles are written in UTF-8 encoding, PyShp's default encoding, so in most cases you don't have to specify the encoding. If you encounter an encoding error when reading a shapefile, this means the shapefile was likely written in a non-utf8 encoding. For instance, when working with English language shapefiles, a common reason for encoding errors is that the shapefile was written in Latin-1 encoding. For reading shapefiles in any non-utf8 encoding, such as Latin-1, just supply the encoding option when creating the Reader class.

    >>> r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/test/latin1.shp", encoding="latin1")
>>> r.record(0) == [2, u'Ñandú']
True

    Once you have loaded the shapefile, you may choose to save it using another more supportive encoding such as UTF-8. Assuming the new encoding supports the characters you are trying to write, reading it back in should give you the same unicode string you started with.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer("shapefiles/test/latin_as_utf8.shp", encoding="utf8")
>>> w.fields = r.fields[1:]
>>> w.record(*r.record(0))
>>> w.null()
>>> w.close()

>>> r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/test/latin_as_utf8.shp", encoding="utf8")
>>> r.record(0) == [2, u'Ñandú']
True

    If you supply the wrong encoding and the string is unable to be decoded, PyShp will by default raise an exception. If however, on rare occasion, you are unable to find the correct encoding and want to ignore or replace encoding errors, you can specify the "encodingErrors" to be used by the decode method. This applies to both reading and writing.

    >>> r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/test/latin1.shp", encoding="ascii", encodingErrors="replace")
>>> r.record(0) == [2, u'�and�']
True

    Reading Large Shapefiles

    Despite being a lightweight library, PyShp is designed to be able to read shapefiles of any size, allowing you to work with hundreds of thousands or even millions of records and complex geometries.

    Iterating through a shapefile

    As an example, let's load this Natural Earth shapefile of more than 4000 global administrative boundary polygons:

    >>> sf = shapefile.Reader("https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/blob/master/10m_cultural/ne_10m_admin_1_states_provinces?raw=true")

    When first creating the Reader class, the library only reads the header information and leaves the rest of the file contents alone. Once you call the records() and shapes() methods however, it will attempt to read the entire file into memory at once. For very large files this can result in MemoryError. So when working with large files it is recommended to use instead the iterShapes(), iterRecords(), or iterShapeRecords() methods instead. These iterate through the file contents one at a time, enabling you to loop through them while keeping memory usage at a minimum.

    >>> for shape in sf.iterShapes():
...     # do something here
...     pass

>>> for rec in sf.iterRecords():
...     # do something here
...     pass

>>> for shapeRec in sf.iterShapeRecords():
...     # do something here
...     pass

>>> for shapeRec in sf: # same as iterShapeRecords()
...     # do something here
...     pass

    Limiting which fields to read

    By default when reading the attribute records of a shapefile, pyshp unpacks and returns the data for all of the dbf fields, regardless of whether you actually need that data or not. To limit which field data is unpacked when reading each record and speed up processing time, you can specify the fields argument to any of the methods involving record data. Note that the order of the specified fields does not matter, the resulting records will list the specified field values in the order that they appear in the original dbf file. For instance, if we are only interested in the country and name of each admin unit, the following is a more efficient way of iterating through the file:

    >>> fields = ["geonunit", "name"]
>>> for rec in sf.iterRecords(fields=fields):
... 	# do something
... 	pass
>>> rec
Record #4595: ['Birgu', 'Malta']

    Attribute filtering

    In many cases, we aren't interested in all entries of a shapefile, but rather only want to retrieve a small subset of records by filtering on some attribute. To avoid wasting time reading records and shapes that we don't need, we can start by iterating only the records and fields of interest, check if the record matches some condition as a way to filter the data, and finally load the full record and shape geometry for those that meet the condition:

    >>> filter_field = "geonunit"
>>> filter_value = "Eritrea"
>>> for rec in sf.iterRecords(fields=[filter_field]):
...     if rec[filter_field] == filter_value:
... 		# load full record and shape
... 		shapeRec = sf.shapeRecord(rec.oid)
... 		shapeRec.record["name"]
'Debubawi Keyih Bahri'
'Debub'
'Semenawi Keyih Bahri'
'Gash Barka'
'Maekel'
'Anseba'

    Selectively reading only the necessary data in this way is particularly useful for efficiently processing a limited subset of data from very large files or when looping through a large number of files, especially if they contain large attribute tables or complex shape geometries.

    Spatial filtering

    Another common use-case is that we only want to read those records that are located in some region of interest. Because the shapefile stores the bounding box of each shape separately from the geometry data, it's possible to quickly retrieve all shapes that might overlap a given bounding box region without having to load the full shape geometry data for every shape. This can be done by specifying the bbox argument to any of the record or shape methods:

    >>> bbox = [36.423, 12.360, 43.123, 18.004] # ca bbox of Eritrea
>>> fields = ["geonunit","name"]
>>> for shapeRec in sf.iterShapeRecords(bbox=bbox, fields=fields):
... 	shapeRec.record
Record #368: ['Afar', 'Ethiopia']
Record #369: ['Tadjourah', 'Djibouti']
Record #375: ['Obock', 'Djibouti']
Record #376: ['Debubawi Keyih Bahri', 'Eritrea']
Record #1106: ['Amhara', 'Ethiopia']
Record #1107: ['Gedarif', 'Sudan']
Record #1108: ['Tigray', 'Ethiopia']
Record #1414: ['Sa`dah', 'Yemen']
Record #1415: ['`Asir', 'Saudi Arabia']
Record #1416: ['Hajjah', 'Yemen']
Record #1417: ['Jizan', 'Saudi Arabia']
Record #1598: ['Debub', 'Eritrea']
Record #1599: ['Red Sea', 'Sudan']
Record #1600: ['Semenawi Keyih Bahri', 'Eritrea']
Record #1601: ['Gash Barka', 'Eritrea']
Record #1602: ['Kassala', 'Sudan']
Record #1603: ['Maekel', 'Eritrea']
Record #2037: ['Al Hudaydah', 'Yemen']
Record #3741: ['Anseba', 'Eritrea']

    This functionality means that shapefiles can be used as a bare-bones spatially indexed database, with very fast bounding box queries for even the largest of shapefiles. Note that, as with all spatial indexing, this method does not guarantee that the geometries of the resulting matches overlap the queried region, only that their bounding boxes overlap.

    Writing large shapefiles

    Similar to the Reader class, the shapefile Writer class uses a streaming approach to keep memory usage at a minimum and allow writing shapefiles of arbitrarily large sizes. The library takes care of this under-the-hood by immediately writing each geometry and record to disk the moment they are added using shape() or record(). Once the writer is closed, exited, or garbage collected, the final header information is calculated and written to the beginning of the file.

    Merging multiple shapefiles

    This means that it's possible to merge hundreds or thousands of shapefiles, as long as you iterate through the source files to avoid loading everything into memory. The following example copies the contents of a shapefile to a new file 10 times:

    >>> # create writer
>>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/merge')

>>> # copy over fields from the reader
>>> r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups")
>>> for field in r.fields[1:]:
...     w.field(*field)

>>> # copy the shapefile to writer 10 times
>>> repeat = 10
>>> for i in range(repeat):
...     r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups")
...     for shapeRec in r.iterShapeRecords():
...         w.record(*shapeRec.record)
...         w.shape(shapeRec.shape)

>>> # check that the written file is 10 times longer
>>> len(w) == len(r) * 10
True

>>> # close the writer
>>> w.close()

    In this trivial example, we knew that all files had the exact same field names, ordering, and types. In other scenarios, you will have to additionally make sure that all shapefiles have the exact same fields in the same order, and that they all contain the same geometry type.

    Editing shapefiles

    If you need to edit a shapefile you would have to read the file one record at a time, modify or filter the contents, and write it back out. For instance, to create a copy of a shapefile that only keeps a subset of relevant fields:

    >>> # create writer
>>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/edit')

>>> # define which fields to keep
>>> keep_fields = ['BKG_KEY', 'MEDIANRENT']

>>> # copy over the relevant fields from the reader
>>> r = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups")
>>> for field in r.fields[1:]:
...     if field[0] in keep_fields:
...         w.field(*field)

>>> # write only the relevant attribute values
>>> for shapeRec in r.iterShapeRecords(fields=keep_fields):
...     w.record(*shapeRec.record)
...     w.shape(shapeRec.shape)

>>> # close writer
>>> w.close()

    3D and Other Geometry Types

    Most shapefiles store conventional 2D points, lines, or polygons. But the shapefile format is also capable of storing various other types of geometries as well, including complex 3D surfaces and objects.

    Shapefiles with measurement (M) values

    Measured shape types are shapes that include a measurement value at each vertex, for instance speed measurements from a GPS device. Shapes with measurement (M) values are added with the following methods: "pointm", "multipointm", "linem", and "polygonm". The M-values are specified by adding a third M value to each XY coordinate. Missing or unobserved M-values are specified with a None value, or by simply omitting the third M-coordinate.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/linem')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.linem([
...			[[1,5,0],[5,5],[5,1,3],[3,3,None],[1,1,0]], # line with one omitted and one missing M-value
...			[[3,2],[2,6]] # line without any M-values
...			])

>>> w.record('linem1')

>>> w.close()

    Shapefiles containing M-values can be examined in several ways:

    >>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/linem')

>>> r.mbox # the lower and upper bound of M-values in the shapefile
[0.0, 3.0]

>>> r.shape(0).m # flat list of M-values
[0.0, None, 3.0, None, 0.0, None, None]

    Shapefiles with elevation (Z) values

    Elevation shape types are shapes that include an elevation value at each vertex, for instance elevation from a GPS device. Shapes with elevation (Z) values are added with the following methods: "pointz", "multipointz", "linez", and "polyz". The Z-values are specified by adding a third Z value to each XY coordinate. Z-values do not support the concept of missing data, but if you omit the third Z-coordinate it will default to 0. Note that Z-type shapes also support measurement (M) values added as a fourth M-coordinate. This too is optional.

    >>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/linez')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.linez([
...			[[1,5,18],[5,5,20],[5,1,22],[3,3],[1,1]], # line with some omitted Z-values
...			[[3,2],[2,6]], # line without any Z-values
...			[[3,2,15,0],[2,6,13,3],[1,9,14,2]] # line with both Z- and M-values
...			])

>>> w.record('linez1')

>>> w.close()

    To examine a Z-type shapefile you can do:

    >>> r = shapefile.Reader('shapefiles/test/linez')

>>> r.zbox # the lower and upper bound of Z-values in the shapefile
[0.0, 22.0]

>>> r.shape(0).z # flat list of Z-values
[18.0, 20.0, 22.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 15.0, 13.0, 14.0]

    3D MultiPatch Shapefiles

    Multipatch shapes are useful for storing composite 3-Dimensional objects. A MultiPatch shape represents a 3D object made up of one or more surface parts. Each surface in "parts" is defined by a list of XYZM values (Z and M values optional), and its corresponding type is given in the "partTypes" argument. The part type decides how the coordinate sequence is to be interpreted, and can be one of the following module constants: TRIANGLE_STRIP, TRIANGLE_FAN, OUTER_RING, INNER_RING, FIRST_RING, or RING. For instance, a TRIANGLE_STRIP may be used to represent the walls of a building, combined with a TRIANGLE_FAN to represent its roof:

    >>> from shapefile import TRIANGLE_STRIP, TRIANGLE_FAN

>>> w = shapefile.Writer('shapefiles/test/multipatch')
>>> w.field('name', 'C')

>>> w.multipatch([
...				 [[0,0,0],[0,0,3],[5,0,0],[5,0,3],[5,5,0],[5,5,3],[0,5,0],[0,5,3],[0,0,0],[0,0,3]], # TRIANGLE_STRIP for house walls
...				 [[2.5,2.5,5],[0,0,3],[5,0,3],[5,5,3],[0,5,3],[0,0,3]], # TRIANGLE_FAN for pointed house roof
...				 ],
...				 partTypes=[TRIANGLE_STRIP, TRIANGLE_FAN]) # one type for each part

>>> w.record('house1')

>>> w.close()

    For an introduction to the various multipatch part types and examples of how to create 3D MultiPatch objects see this ESRI White Paper.

    Testing

    The testing framework is pytest, and the tests are located in test_shapefile.py. This includes an extensive set of unit tests of the various pyshp features, and tests against various input data. Some of the tests that require internet connectivity will be skipped in offline testing environments. In the same folder as README.md and shapefile.py, from the command line run

    $ python -m pytest

    Additionally, all the code and examples located in this file, README.md, is tested and verified with the builtin doctest framework. A special routine for invoking the doctest is run when calling directly on shapefile.py. In the same folder as README.md and shapefile.py, from the command line run

    $ python shapefile.py

    Linux/Mac and similar platforms will need to run $ dos2unix README.md in order to correct line endings in README.md.
