folium
builds on the data wrangling strengths of the Python ecosystem and the mapping strengths of the leaflet.js
library. Manipulate your data in Python, then visualize it in on a Leaflet map via folium
.
folium
makes it easy to visualize data that’s been manipulated in Python on an interactive leaflet map. It enables both the binding of data to a map for choropleth
visualizations as well as passing rich vector/raster/HTML visualizations as markers on the map.
The library has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap
, Mapbox
, and Stamen
, and supports custom tilesets with Mapbox
or Cloudmade API
keys. folium
supports both Image, Video, GeoJSON and TopoJSON overlays.
We will showcase the fundamentals of Folium mapping and how to geocode Calgary.
