I downloaded the US states shapefile from census.gov and imported "Texas" as follows:
geom = geometry.Geometry.from_shapely( us_states_.geometry[11], spatial_reference={"wkid": 3857} ) geom.area
956858520477.5554 geom = geomeUsing arcpy method "get_area" gave different answer: geom.get_area("GEODESIC", units="SQUAREMETERS")692662873864.4374
Main question is following: is it possible to have "geom.area" return value = "geom.get_area" return value?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
You seem to be getting the answer you are interested in using Geometry.get_area, so why not just use that?
Only reason is "arcpy" is Windows and my development environment is Mac. I'm running "parallels" so that I can access both simultaneously.
