Interactive Choropleth Maps in Python Using Altair, Plotly, and Folium
A Step by step guide to creating interactive map visuals in Python using opensource libraries - Altair, Plotly, and Folium
Are you looking for a simple Python library with which to create a choropleth map for your next web app or blog? Or maybe you’ve spent hours online looking for tutorials on how to get started? While there are a lot of popular libraries that can get you started with the simple implementation of static choropleth maps(such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, and so on), if interactivity is what you are looking for then this is the article for you!
