relate
Test if the two geometries are related using a custom relation. You can test for a custom spatial relationship by defining your own relation. For example, you can create a relation that tests if two geometries intersect and touch.
The Dimensionally Extended 9 Intersection Model (DE-9IM) matrix relation (encoded as a string) is a custom spatial relationship type used to test the relationship of two geometries. See Custom spatial relationships for more information about the DE-9IM model and how the relationship string patterns are constructed.
For example, each of the following DE-9IM string codes are valid for testing whether a polygon geometry completely contains a line geometry: "TTTFFTFFT" (Boolean), "T*****FF*" (ignore irrelevant intersections), or "102FFFF" (dimension form). Each returns the same result.
Supports true curves.
Return
True if the two geometries have the given relationship, false otherwise.

Parameters
A geometry object.
Another geometry object.
The DE-9IM string to be evaluated. This must be nine characters long and only contain the characters TF*012.
Throws
Indicates that geometry1 and geometry2 do not have equivalent spatial references.
