spatiallly Enabled Dataframe append

OisinSlevin

I've created a blank spatially Enabled Dataframe with columns,

I'm attempting to append an a row to the Dataframe, which I'm doing successfully,

but as I append a row it overwrites the SHAPE column of all previous rows.

sdf.append(some_row, ingore_index=True)

Answer For this is when setting a geometry when appending to the SDF:
record_to_append.SHAPE=geometry.Geometry({'paths': [new_line], 'spatialReference': {'wkid': 29903, 'latestWkid': 29903}}

Yes, the Geometry class of arcgis.geometry module — arcgis 1.5.3 documentation

OisinSlevin

Hi, Sorry for the late reply,
I've Attempted to use your solution which appears to work while modifying the records,

the original issue of overwriting no longer occurs

record_to_append.SHAPE = {'paths' : [new_line]}

record_to_append.SHAPE

{'paths': [[[322058.68479999993, 226573.08400000073], [322061.67789999954, 226573.96309999935], [322063.7945999997, 226569.7296999991], [322098.81620000023, 226533.6378000006], [322066.5378999999, 226500.82509999909], [322049.0729, 226482.97609999962]]], 'spatialReference': {'wkid': 29903, 'latestWkid': 29903}}

but attempting to use record_to_append.SHAPE then throws errors that geometry type cant be dict

record_to_append.SHAPE.buffer(0.5)
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'buffer'

The same issue occurs when attempting to export the SDF to a feature class

Is there some way of creating a "geometry object" in arcgis api that can then be used to set

record_to_append.SHAPE = "geometry object"

Thank you‌ for the code, and you are spot on.

It certainly looks like a deepcopy quirk for pandas.Series.copy (Joshua you pointed to the pandas.Dataframe.copy document, but a row is actually a pandas.Series. Nevertheless, copy(deep=true) behaves the same way in both Series and DataFrame. ), It is important to know, so I am sort of repeating it here:

pandas.Series.copy — pandas 0.24.0 documentation

When <SPAN class="">deep=True</SPAN>, data is copied but actual Python objects will not be copied recursively, only the reference to the object. This is in contrast to copy.deepcopy in the Standard Library, which recursively copies object data

As to the question you asked Oisin Slevin: All previous rows or just the previous row, or maybe the first row?

My answer is, it would be the first row and and all the appended rows. Why? because for all these records, the following key (a variable) is pointing to the same memory address.

record_to_append<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">.</SPAN>SHAPE<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">[</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #669900; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">'rings'</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">]</SPAN>

In you experiment, the second row will not be affected from the other rows, as its SHAPE['rings'] is pointing to a different address. Oisin does not have a second initial row, so for him, the SHAPE['paths'] for all the records will be the same.

I think you also provided the solution in your code:

rec<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">.</SPAN>SHAPE <SPAN class="" style="color: #a67f59; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5); border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">{</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #669900; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">"rings"</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">:</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">[</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">[</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">...</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">]</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">]</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit;">}</SPAN>

copy.deepcopy() might work as another solution as well.

Hey Oisin Slevin and Joshua Bixby

It looks like the reason I was able to reproduce this behavior was because of this line:

The geometry in the record_template.SHAPE['paths'] list overwrites the list in the SHAPE column. The append operation looks like it performs a shallow copy of the record_template to the SHAPE column.

When I changed line 21 above to:

record_template<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>SHAPE <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">{</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'paths'</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>second_line<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">}</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

The append worked successfully:

Oisin Slevin - if you change record_to_append.SHAPE['paths']=[new_line] to record_to_append.SHAPE = {'paths' : [new_line]} does that work? Credit Joshua Bixby if so...his code referencing the SHAPE as a dictionary instead of referencing the `paths` value was the key.

John Yaist‌, if you can reproduce the issue, why does this code work on my machine?

Oisin Slevin‌, regarding:

but as I append a row it overwrites the SHAPE column of all previous rows.

All previous rows or just the previous row, or maybe the first row?

In terms of using pandas.DataFrame.copy(deep=True), the documentation notes are key to understanding what is happening: pandas.DataFrame.copy — pandas 0.23.4 documentation :

Notes
When <SPAN class="" style="hyphens: none;">deep=True</SPAN>, data is copied but actual Python objects will not be copied recursively, only the reference to the object. This is in contrast to copy.deepcopy in the Standard Library, which recursively copies object data (see examples below).

In short, Pandas deepcopy isn't quite a deep copy.

UPDATE 2: It appears deepcopy used to behave differently: pd.DataFrame.__deepcopy__ is broken · Issue #17406 · pandas-dev/pandas · GitHub

UPDATE 3: I think a different approach is warranted overall. That said, I think the most straightforward workaround is to use copy.deepcopy on a dictionary of the template record since pandas.DataFrame.append — pandas 0.23.4 documentation works with "dict-like" objects. Using the following

My mistake. It wasn't the issue you describe, in terms of being a line geometry, I simply created/extracted the working record incorrectly and was working with a data frame still instead of a series. Once I got the record to the correct data type, the error accessing paths went away.

Record_to_append must previously be a line geometry so you can overwrite the path

Hi oisins

I'm seeing the same behavior you document. I'll log a bug into the system and keep you posted about progress and any workaround if I dig one up.

I am crafting an example to replicate your issue, but I am getting hung up on:

record_to_append<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>SHAPE<SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">'paths'</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">[</SPAN>new_line<SPAN class="punctuation token">]</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Trying to manipulate the geometry of the SHAPE column that way always generates a KeyError.

I'm creating a SEDF from a shape file and removing the features from it, but I keep one feature as a Template.

The spatially enabled dataframe doesn't have an option to create a new version from a 'template' like you can with featureclasses?

OisinSlevin

# currently reading in a shapefile to get headers (saves creating the Spatially enabled DataFrame from scratch)

# I remove all rows but keep a deep copy of one record called record_template

# make a record to set values on

record_to_append=record_template.copy(deep=True)

# in code generating new_line using shapely linemerge (taking multiple line sections making one long route)

# for this example I took a sample see below

new_line = [[306572.786, 227598.16], [306581.202, 227591.756999999], [306585.583, 227587.403999999], [306589.315, 227583.198999999]]

record_to_append.SHAPE['paths']=[new_line]

record_to_append.Name="Some Value"

# attempting to use deep copy to fix the issue (no change)

SDF=SDF.append(record_to_append.copy(deep=True),ignore_index=True)

# I've also attempted to put the record into a dict but with the same result

dict_to_append=record_to_append.to_dict()

SDF=SDF.append(dict_to_append,ignore_index=True)

# When I view the records the Name value will change per record as expected, but the SHAPE value of all
# records is always equal to the most recent record appended

I would double check the code that constructs the geometry for each row to append.

The append function for SDF is actually from standard Pandas DataFrame, which is pretty robust and unlikely to have a bug for this basic function. Anyway, hard to say without seeing the code.

Its just SHAPE,
have to write a cheat for writing back to arc online where I record the SHAPE in a standard python list and insert it into the json for uploading

JoshuaBixby

Is it overwriting other columns or just SHAPE? If just SHAPE, it seems like a defect that should be logged with Esri Support.
