#!/usr/bin/env python # coding: utf-8 # # Using Leaflet's Smooth Factor Option # # [Polyline](http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#polyline) objects in leaflet are smoothed by default. This removes points from the line, putting less load on the browser when drawing. The level of smoothing [can be specified](http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#polyline-smoothfactor) by passing `smoothFactor` as an option when creating any Polyline object. # # In folium, the level of smoothing can be determined by passing `smooth_factor` as an argument when initialising GeoJson, TopoJson and Choropleth objects. There are no upper or lower bounds to the smoothing level; Leaflet's default is 1. # In[1]: import json import folium import requests m = folium.Map(location=[-59.1759, -11.6016], tiles="cartodbpositron", zoom_start=2) url = ( "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-visualization/folium/master/examples/data" ) fname = f"{url}/antarctic_ice_shelf_topo.json" topo = json.loads(requests.get(fname).text) folium.TopoJson( data=topo, object_path="objects.antarctic_ice_shelf", name="default_smoothing", smooth_factor=1, style_function=lambda x: {"color": "#004c00", "opacity": "0.7"}, ).add_to(m) folium.TopoJson( data=topo, object_path="objects.antarctic_ice_shelf", name="default_smoothing", smooth_factor=10, style_function=lambda x: {"color": "#1d3060", "opacity": "0.7"}, ).add_to(m) folium.LayerControl().add_to(m) m
