Sample Choropleth Map for Telangana State

[Sathwik Mohan Vangari]

Hello All,

Firstly, thank you very much for providing Telangana State shape files without which plotting wouldn't have been possible.

I created a sample choropleth map of Telangana using Python and associated libraries (Geopandas, plotly etc.). The code is available on this link. (https://github.com/vsathwikm/OpenDataSets/blob/main/TS_Map/TelanganaState_PlotlyChoroplethMap.ipynb) Feel free to change and use this visualization in any of your data analyses or data visualizations.

Best,

Sathwik.

Hi Sathwik,

Great work!

There's another lib in python that's dedicated to map based viz and uses the popular open source leaflet js as base: folium.

Check out the choropleth viz example in this tutorial page:

https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/quickstart.html#Choropleth-maps

One big advantage I've found with folium is that you can save your interactive viz to a .html file with this command:

m.save("map.html")  

... and share that with colleagues on email, host it on a web server (or do github pages of your repo), embed the code in a blog, etc. Recipients get the full zoomable interactive map without having to install anything at their end. It also feels faster and lighter to navigate the map.

Thank you Ma'am. Thank you Nikhil. Folium looks neat. Plotly also has the same features as you mentioned and these visualizations can be deployed using Plotly Dash.

However, Folium seems to achieve the same functionality with very little code as compared to Dash. Will definitely try this.

Best,

Sathwik.
