geofileops.get_layer_geometrytypes(path: str | PathLike[Any], layer: str | None = None) → list[str]#

Get the geometry types in the layer by examining each geometry in the layer.

The general geometry type of the layer can be determined using get_layerinfo().

Parameters:

  • path (PathLike) – path to the file to get info about. GDAL vsi paths are also supported.

  • layer (str) – the layer you want info about. Doesn’t need to be specified if there is only one layer in the geofile.

Returns:
