Plotting State Lines When Exporting Earth Engine Collection to GIF

[brunohlopez]

Hi Everyone,

I had a question regarding creating GIF's from Earth Engine Collections. Is there a way to add state lines when you're creating a GIF? I created a GIF , using geemap.download_ee_video , of the corn belt and would like to add state lines for visualization purposes. I am using the TIGER 2018 States Feature Collection but since it is a Feature Collection and not an Image I don't know how to add the states lines to the exported GIF. If anyone knows how to change the zoom of the map when exporting the GIF that would also be helpful. Thank you!

You could modify the cartoee.get_image_collection_gif() function to be able to add the states with cartopy.

Thank you I didn't look into cartopy much before but it seems to have. a lot of useful functions so I will play around with it more.

@brunolopez312 You can use the image blend method to blend multiple layers as one image. See https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/ic_visualization#overlays

Thanks Qiusheng, I was able to paint the state lines on using this method.
