Applying geometrical methods with Shapely

In a similar way to OGR, you can apply geometrical methods, using the polygon from the earlier example:

In:    print(p1.area)       print(p1.bounds)       print(p1.length)       print(p1.geom_type)Out:   22.0       (1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 9.0)       19.59524158061724       Polygon
