Open FHunt-OS opened 2 years ago
This is not easily solved, at the moment. The underlying API does not support MultiPolygons or multiple geospatial filters. Therefore, a significant amount of post-processing would need to be done, which breaks away from the idea of this being a fairly thin wrapper of the API. This issue should stay open for when this is implemented upstream.
Since it only takes the extent of the polygon it should be easy to make it take a multipolygon. I can filter out the bits I don't want later if necessary.
A related issue is that using Extent.from_ons_code()
method doesn't work because some ONS codes are interpreted as multipolygons. One example is that of Greenwich (E09000011), which shouldn't even result in a multipolygon.
It would be useful if
Extent
could be a multipolygon to allow query results from non-contiguous areas, without needing to make multiple extent/API objects.
