`geo.groupByArea()` groups rows by geographic area.
Area sizes are determined by the specified `level`.
Each geographic area is assigned a unique identifier (the S2 cell ID token)
which is stored in the `newColumn`.
Results are grouped by `newColumn`.
##### Function type signature
```js
(
<-tables: stream[{A with s2_cell_id: string, lon: float, lat: float}],
level: int,
newColumn: string,
?s2cellIDLevel: int,
) => stream[B] where B: Record
```

## Parameters
### newColumn
({{< req >}})
Name of the new column for the unique identifier for each geographic area.
### level
({{< req >}})
[S2 Cell level](https://s2geometry.io/resources/s2cell_statistics.html)
used to determine the size of each geographic area.
### s2cellIDLevel
[S2 Cell level](https://s2geometry.io/resources/s2cell_statistics.html)
used in the `s2_cell_id` tag. Default is `-1` (detects S2 cell level from the `s2_cell_id` tag).
### tables
Input data. Default is piped-forward data (`<-`).
## Examples
### Group geotemporal data by geographic area
```js
import "experimental/geo"
data
|> geo.groupByArea(newColumn: "foo", level: 4)
```
