nitpicking your example, it should be: ``` from shapely import from_wkt minnesota = from_wkt(minnesota_wkt) ... ``` Some context: 1. spark functions dont work outside of sql/df methods. Sedona's functions are...

Thanks for the quick and informative response. I noticed the following quote from the GeometryFixer documentation: > Polygon: transform into a valid polygon... However, my testing revealed that the GeometryFixer...

Thanks for this Pawel. I think we need an ST Function for this. Currently it is asymmetric with the other stats functions in this regard. I also believe that we...

Sure. We should be able to wrap the function in this PR with an implementation of a [PhysicalFunction](https://github.com/apache/sedona/blob/master/spark/common/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/sedona_sql/expressions/PhysicalFunction.scala#L98). [Here](https://github.com/apache/sedona/blob/master/spark/common/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/sedona_sql/expressions/GeoStatsFunctions.scala) are the existing ones. [Here](https://github.com/apache/sedona/pull/1736) is the PR that added SQL...
