jord.shapely_utilities.projection.nearest_geometry(geometries: Sequence[BaseGeometry], point: Point) → Tuple[BaseGeometry, float, int][source]#

Find the nearest geometry among a list, measured from fixed point.

Parameters:

geometries – a list of shapely geometry objects
point – a shapely Point

Returns:

Tuple (geom, min_dist, min_index) of the geometry with minimum distance to point, its distance min_dist and the list index of geom, so that geom = geometries[min_index].
