Map

lonboard.Map

The top-level class used to display a map in a Jupyter Widget.

Example:

import geopandas as gpd
from lonboard import Map, ScatterplotLayer, SolidPolygonLayer

# A GeoDataFrame with Point geometries
point_gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame()
point_layer = ScatterplotLayer.from_geopandas(
    point_gdf,
    get_fill_color=[255, 0, 0],
)

# A GeoDataFrame with Polygon geometries
polygon_gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame()
polygon_layer = SolidPolygonLayer.from_geopandas(
    gdf,
    get_fill_color=[255, 0, 0],
)

m = Map([point_layer, polygon_layer])

__init__ 

__init__(layers: Union[BaseLayer, Sequence[BaseLayer]], **kwargs) -> None

Create a new Map.

Aside from the layers argument, pass keyword arguments for any other attribute defined in this class.

Parameters:

Returns:

  • None –

    A Map object.

_height class-attribute instance-attribute 

_height = tag(sync=True)

Height of the map in pixels.

This API is not yet stabilized and may change in the future.

_initial_view_state class-attribute instance-attribute 

_initial_view_state = tag(sync=True)

The initial view state of the map.

  • Type: dict, optional
  • Default: Automatically inferred from the data passed to the map.

The keys must include:

  • longitude: longitude at the map center.
  • latitude: latitude at the map center.
  • zoom: zoom level.

Keys may additionally include:

  • pitch (float, optional) - pitch angle in degrees. Default 0 (top-down).
  • bearing (float, optional) - bearing angle in degrees. Default 0 (north).
  • maxZoom (float, optional) - max zoom level. Default 20.
  • minZoom (float, optional) - min zoom level. Default 0.
  • maxPitch (float, optional) - max pitch angle. Default 60.
  • minPitch (float, optional) - min pitch angle. Default 0.

Note that currently no camel-case/snake-case translation occurs for this method, and so keys must be in camel case.

This API is not yet stabilized and may change in the future.

basemap_style class-attribute instance-attribute 

basemap_style = tag(sync=True)

A MapLibre-compatible basemap style.

Various styles are provided in lonboard.basemap.

layers class-attribute instance-attribute 

layers = tag(sync=True, **widget_serialization)

One or more Layer objects to display on this map.

picking_radius class-attribute instance-attribute 

picking_radius = tag(sync=True)

Extra pixels around the pointer to include while picking (such as for a tooltip).

This is helpful when rendered objects are difficult to target, for example irregularly shaped icons, small moving circles or interaction by touch.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 5

show_tooltip class-attribute instance-attribute 

show_tooltip = tag(sync=True)

Whether to render a tooltip on hover on the map.

  • Type: bool
  • Default: True

to_html 

to_html(filename: Union[str, Path]) -> None

Save the current map as a standalone HTML file.

Parameters:

  • filename (Union[str, Path]) –

    where to save the generated HTML file.
