This is used to convert columns of a variety of types to geopandas’ geometry type.

Supported formats:

- ``None`` passed through as ``None``
- ``str`` containing a geometry in GeoJSON format
- ``str`` containing a geometry in WKT format
- object with ``__geo_interface__``
- a ``Mapping`` in the format of a GeoJSON geometry
- a ``BaseGeometry``, returned unchanged
- an object in a supported, non-standard format. For more information

please see here.platform.utils.geo.is_nonstandard_geometry

Parameters:: x – the object to convert
Returns:: the object converted to a shapely geometry
Raises:: ValueError – in case the object cannot be converted
