Save Map to HTML

[sherl0cks]

This is a feature request to save the map to file such that it could be subsequently served to a web browser, a la folium's save (see cell 3 in this example)

[sherl0cks]

appears that you can do something along these lines and works well enough. let me know if there is a more interesting solution. else, we can close this.

viz = GraduatedCircleViz(...)

html = open("100000_markers.html", "w")
html.write( viz.create_html() )
html.close()

@sherl0cks this is a very common need - I vote we add an export function for each viz object. Html file would be one option, image another option, PDF a 3rd option, possibly other options to come.

[sherl0cks]

that works for me. we need to make sure the feature it is added to an example when it is built.

[ryanbaumann]

@sherl0cks great, added an initial example using your code - see it in this repo at /examples or at www.mapbox.com/labs/jupyter

Let's leave this ticket open as a placeholder for a broader export viz functionality.

[sherl0cks]

@ryanbaumann nice. thanks for quick turn around

[ryanbaumann]

Here is the export to HTML approach captured in the example notebook:

with open('viz.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(viz.create_html())

# Python2
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080   

# Python 3
python3 -m http.server 8080   

• Now navigate your browser to http://localhost:8080/viz.html to see the viz

Can I share a map with clusters to someone else without starting a web server?

[ryanbaumann]

@anderl80 yes, if you include your map data parameter as a geojson-format python dictionary, then the data for your map will be packaged up inside your exported map HTML file and can be opened just by opening the HTML file in a browser.
