FromGeohash

Summary

Converts a geohash string to an Extent object in WGS 1984 coordinates that represents the corresponding bounding box in the geohash grid.

Syntax

FromGeohash(geohash_string)

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
geohash_string	The geohash string used to obtain the extent in WGS 1984 coordinates.	String

Return value

Data Type	Explanation
Extent	FromGeohash returns an Extent object in WGS 1984 coordinates of the geohash string.

Code sample

FromGeohash example 1

Return an Extent object from a geohash string.

import arcpy
extent = arcpy.FromGeohash('dp1k05k8')

FromGeohash example 2

Get point geometry at the center of the Extent object converted from the geohash string.

import arcpy

# Spatial reference set to GCS_WGS_1984
spatial_reference = arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)

extent = arcpy.FromGeohash('dp1k05k8')
extent_x = (extent.XMax + extent.XMin) / 2
extent_y = (extent.YMax + extent.YMin) / 2

pnt = arcpy.Point(extent_x, extent_y)
pnt_geom = arcpy.PointGeometry(pnt, spatial_reference)
