Provide a matplotlib like interface to plotting data with Google Maps
Project description
Plotting data on Google Maps, the easy way. A matplotlib-like interface to generate the HTML and javascript to render all the data you’d like on top of Google Maps. Several plotting methods make creating exploratory map views effortless. Here’s a crash course:
import gmplot
gmap = gmplot.GoogleMapPlotter(37.428, -122.145, 16)
gmap.plot(latitudes, longitudes, 'cornflowerblue', edge_width=10)
gmap.scatter(more_lats, more_lngs, '#3B0B39', size=40, marker=False)
gmap.scatter(marker_lats, marker_lngs, 'k', marker=True)
gmap.heatmap(heat_lats, heat_lngs)
gmap.draw("mymap.html")
Geocoding
gmplot contains a simple wrapper around Google’s geocoding service enabling map initilization to the location of your choice. Rather than providing latitude, longitude, and zoom level during initialization, grab your gmplot instance with a location:
gmap = gmplot.from_geocode("San Francisco")
Plot types
Polygons with fills.
Drop pins.
Scatter points.
Grid lines.
Heatmaps.
Misc.
Code hosted on GitHub
Install easily with pip install gmplot from PyPI.
