-# Location Data Visualization library for Jupyter Notebooks
-
-[](https://travis-ci.org/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter)
-[](https://coveralls.io/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter?branch=master)
-[](https://badge.fury.io/py/mapboxgl)
-
-Create [Mapbox GL JS](https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/) data visualizations natively in Jupyter Notebooks with Python and Pandas. `mapboxgl` is a high-performance, interactive, WebGL-based data visualization tool that drops directly into Jupyter. `mapboxgl` is similar to [Folium](https://github.com/python-visualization/folium) built on top of the raster [Leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/) map library, but with much higher performance for large data sets using WebGL and Mapbox Vector Tiles.

-
-
-Try out the interactive map example notebooks from the /examples directory in this repository
-
-1. [Categorical points](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/examples/notebooks/point-viz-categorical-example.ipynb)
-2. [All visualization types](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/examples/notebooks/point-viz-types-example.ipynb)
-3. [Choropleth Visualization types](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/examples/notebooks/choropleth-viz-example.ipynb)
-4. [Image Visualization types](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/examples/notebooks/image-vis-type-example.ipynb)
-5. [Raster Tile Visualization types](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/examples/notebooks/rastertile-viz-type-example.ipynb)
-
-## Installation
-
-`pip install mapboxgl`
-
-# Documentation
-
-Checkout the documentation for [mapboxgl visuals](https://github.com/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/docs-markdown/viz.md) and [mapboxgl utilities](https://github.com/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/blob/master/docs-markdown/utils.md).
-
-## Usage
-
-The `examples/` directory contains sample Jupyter notebooks demonstrating usage.
-
-```python
-import pandas as pd
-import os
-from mapboxgl.utils import *
-from mapboxgl.viz import *
-
-# Load data from sample csv
-data_url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/master/examples/data/points.csv'
-df = pd.read_csv(data_url)
-
-# Must be a public token, starting with `pk`
-token = os.getenv('MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN')
-
-# Create a geojson file export from a Pandas dataframe
-df_to_geojson(df, filename='points.geojson',
- properties=['Avg Medicare Payments', 'Avg Covered Charges', 'date'],
- lat='lat', lon='lon', precision=3)
-
-# Generate data breaks and color stops from colorBrewer
-color_breaks = [0,10,100,1000,10000]
-color_stops = create_color_stops(color_breaks, colors='YlGnBu')
-
-# Create the viz from the dataframe
-viz = CircleViz('points.geojson',
- access_token=token,
- height='400px',
- color_property = "Avg Medicare Payments",
- color_stops = color_stops,
- center = (-95, 40),
- zoom = 3,
- below_layer = 'waterway-label'
- )
-viz.show()
-```
-
-## Development
-
-Install the python library locally with pip:
-
-`pip install -e .`
-
-To run tests use pytest:
-
-`pip install mock`
-
-`pip install pytest`
-
-`pytest`
-
-To run the Jupyter examples,
-
-1. `cd examples`
-2. `pip install jupyter`
-2. `jupyter notebook`
-
-We follow the [PEP8 style guide for Python](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) for all Python code.
-
-# Release process
-
-- After merging all relevant PRs for the upcoming release, pull the master branch
- * `git checkout master`
- * `git pull`
-- Update the version number in `mapboxgl/__init__.py` and push directly to master.
-- Tag the release
- * `git tag `
- * `git push --tags`
-- Setup for pypi (one time only)
- * You'll need to `pip install twine` and set up your credentials in a [~/.pypirc](https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/packageindex.html#pypirc) [file](https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/packageindex.html#pypirc).
-- Create the release files
- * `rm dist/*` # clean out old releases if they exist
- * `python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel`
-- Upload the release files
- * `twine upload dist/mapboxgl-*`
