def _topology(self, gptr):
Return Geometry from the given pointer.
def buffer(self, width, quadsegs=8):
Return a geometry that represents all points whose distance from this Geometry is less than or equal to distance. Calculations are in the Spatial Reference System of this Geometry. The optional third parameter sets the number of segment used to approximate a quarter circle (defaults to 8). (Text from PostGIS documentation at ch. 6.1.3)
def buffer_with_style(self, width, quadsegs=8, end_cap_style=1, join_style=1, mitre_limit=5.0):

Same as buffer() but allows customizing the style of the buffer.

End cap style can be round (1), flat (2), or square (3). Join style can be round (1), mitre (2), or bevel (3). Mitre ratio limit only affects mitered join style.

def clone(self):

def contains(self, other):
Return true if other.within(this) returns true.

def simplify(self, tolerance=0.0, preserve_topology=False):

Return the Geometry, simplified using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm to the specified tolerance (higher tolerance => less points). If no tolerance provided, defaults to 0.

By default, don't preserve topology - e.g. polygons can be split, collapse to lines or disappear holes can be created or disappear, and lines can cross. By specifying preserve_topology=True, the result will have the same dimension and number of components as the input. This is significantly slower.

@srid.setter
def srid(self, srid):
Set the SRID for the geometry.
def sym_difference(self, other):
Return a set combining the points in this Geometry not in other, and the points in other not in this Geometry.

Return true if the DE-9IM intersection matrix for the two Geometries is FT*******, F**T***** or F***T****.
def transform(self, ct, clone=False):
Requires GDAL. Transform the geometry according to the given transformation object, which may be an integer SRID, and WKT or PROJ string. By default, transform the geometry in-place and return nothing. However if the clone keyword is set, don't modify the geometry and return a transformed clone instead.
def union(self, other):
Return a Geometry representing all the points in this Geometry and other.
def within(self, other):
Return true if the DE-9IM intersection matrix for the two Geometries is T*F**F***.
