Plotly maps#
Various map types and overlays are available.
Open Street Map is open for use without a token.
Overlays include scatter, lines, densities, etc.
Choropleths (coloured map sections) can be used as overlays or as separate plots when a GeoJSON formated dictionary of map polygons are available.
# The following renders plotly graphs in Jupyter Notebook, Jupyter Lab and VS Code formats
import plotly.io as pio
pio.renderers.default = "notebook+plotly_mimetype"
Map#
Various maps with user defined overlays are available, e.g., scatter_map.
From Plotly version 5.24, Mapbox-es are deprecated, e.g., scatter_mapbox.
Writer has, as of 16. November 2024, not made the switch yet.
In most cases, switching between map and mapbox does not require other code changes.

Streamsync integration#
Streamsync has handlers that easily connect interaction with reactive Python code.
Choropleths#
A pure choropleth can be plotted using a GeoJSON file, e.g., from https://norgeskart.no/json/norge/.
In addition a DataFrame containing the map region properties to use for colouring and hover information is needed.
