• outfields (str or list, optional) – Target field name(s), default to “*” i.e., all the fields.

• crs (str, int, or pyproj.CRS, optional) – Target spatial reference of output, default to EPSG:4326.

Examples

>>> from pygeohydro import NFHL
>>> nfhl = NFHL("NFHL", "cross-sections")
>>> gdf_xs = nfhl.bygeom((-73.42, 43.28, -72.9, 43.52), geo_crs=4269)
