I started tinkering with the SpatialDataFrame, and it appears that set-operations with overlay are not supported on SpatialDataFrames, e.g., executing a spatial union or difference between two separate SpatialDataFrames. Am I correct or just missing or misunderstanding the documentation? If I am correct, is this something that is going to be supported?
If you want a better idea of what i am trying to achieve, directly using SpatialDataFrames and not dumping to either feature classes locally or feature layers in Portal, check out Set-Operations with Overlay — GeoPandas 0.2-py3.5.egg documentation .
