Markers with different shapes

[EmanuelCastanho]

Is it possible to add markers to the map with different shapes (square, triangle, star, ...), not only circle?

It would be interesting to have a function like add_markers_from_xy(..., shape='square')

Or even include HTML icons.

I don't think ipyleaflet supports that. You can have an icon inside the marker though. See https://leafmap.org/notebooks/50_marker_cluster/

Or you can use geopandas to generate shapes (square, triangle, etc) as a polygon layer based on points and then add the polygon layer to the map.

I will check both options.
This idea came to me because of this post:

Thank you for the reply and amazing work.

Good to know. I will see if I can implement it.

Looks like it is feasible. Need some time to make the function robust so that it can use multiple shapes at the same time.

Looks great! Thank you
