This allows you to manipulate your data in Geopandas and visualize it on a Leaflet map via Folium. # # In this example, we will first use Geopandas to load the geometries (volcano point data), and then create the Folium map with markers representing the different types of volcanoes. # ## Load geometries # This example uses a freely available [volcano dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/texasdave/volcano-eruptions). We will be reading the csv file using pandas, and then convert the pandas `DataFrame` to a Geopandas `GeoDataFrame`. # In[1]: # Import Libraries import pandas as pd import geopandas import folium import geodatasets import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # In[ ]: df1 = pd.read_csv("volcano_data_2010.csv") # Keep only relevant columns df = df1.loc[:, ("Year", "Name", "Country", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Type")] df.info() # In[ ]: # Create point geometries geometry = geopandas.points_from_xy(df.Longitude, df.Latitude) geo_df = geopandas.GeoDataFrame( df[["Year", "Name", "Country", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Type"]], geometry=geometry ) geo_df.head() # In[ ]: world = geopandas.read_file(geodatasets.get_path("naturalearth.land")) df.Type.unique() # In[ ]: fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(24, 18)) world.plot(ax=ax, alpha=0.4, color="grey") geo_df.plot(column="Type", ax=ax, legend=True) plt.title("Volcanoes") # ## Create Folium map # Folium has a number of built-in tilesets from OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and CartoDB. For example: # In[ ]: # CartoDB Positron map = folium.Map(location=[13.406, 80.110], tiles="CartoDB Positron", zoom_start=9) map # In[ ]: # OpenStreetMap map = folium.Map(location=[13.406, 80.110], tiles="OpenStreetMap", zoom_start=9) map # ### Add markers # To represent the different types of volcanoes, you can create Folium markers and add them to your map. # In[8]: # Create a geometry list from the GeoDataFrame geo_df_list = [[point.xy[1][0], point.xy[0][0]] for point in geo_df.geometry] # Iterate through list and add a marker for each volcano, color-coded by its type. i = 0 for coordinates in geo_df_list: # assign a color marker for the type of volcano, Strato being the most common if geo_df.Type[i] == "Stratovolcano": type_color = "green" elif geo_df.Type[i] == "Complex volcano": type_color = "blue" elif geo_df.Type[i] == "Shield volcano": type_color = "orange" elif geo_df.Type[i] == "Lava dome": type_color = "pink" else: type_color = "purple" # Place the markers with the popup labels and data map.add_child( folium.Marker( location=coordinates, popup="Year: " + str(geo_df.Year[i]) + "
" + "Name: " + str(geo_df.Name[i]) + "
" + "Country: " + str(geo_df.Country[i]) + "
" + "Type: " + str(geo_df.Type[i]) + "
" + "Coordinates: " + str(geo_df_list[i]), icon=folium.Icon(color="%s" % type_color), ) ) i = i + 1 # In[ ]: map # ## Folium Heatmaps # # Folium is well known for its heatmaps, which create a heatmap layer. To plot a heatmap in Folium, you need a list of latitudes and longitudes. # In[ ]: # This example uses heatmaps to visualize the density of volcanoes # which is more in some parts of the world compared to others. from folium import plugins map = folium.Map(location=[15, 30], tiles="Cartodb dark_matter", zoom_start=2) heat_data = [[point.xy[1][0], point.xy[0][0]] for point in geo_df.geometry] heat_data plugins.HeatMap(heat_data).add_to(map) map
