geom_type Returns the type of this geometry, as an OGRGeomType object.

geom_name Returns the name of the type of this geometry: >>> polygon.geom_name 'POLYGON'

geom_count Returns the number of elements in this geometry: >>> polygon.geom_count 1

extent Returns the envelope of this geometry as a 4-tuple, instead of as an Envelope object: >>> point.extent (0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 5.0)

ewkt Returns the EWKT representation of this geometry.

equals(other) Returns True if this geometry is equivalent to the other, otherwise returns False.

envelope Returns the envelope of this geometry, as an Envelope object.

disjoint(other) Returns True if this geometry is spatially disjoint to (i.e. does not intersect) the other, otherwise returns False.

dimension Returns the number of coordinated dimensions of the geometry, i.e. 0 for points, 1 for lines, and so forth: >> polygon.dimension 2

difference() Returns the region consisting of the difference of this geometry and the other, as a new OGRGeometry object.
