Spatial data animation: ggmap & gganimate

Following a series of introductionary posts on spatial data visualization in R, covering packages such as ggmap, leaflet, tidygeocoder, geopy, deckgl and osmdata, I here present a framework utilizing some relevant packages. The framework was developed in R. It was…

Spatial heatmaps with Folium in Python

In previous posts I have demonstrated how one can geocode data and plot markers using Geopy and Folium in Python. I have also demonstrated heatmapping workflows in R, using packages such as Leaflet. In this post I want to use…

Geocoded markers with Geopy and Folium

In a previous post I have already demonstrated how to use Nominatim in Python (using the Geopy module) to geocode a location name into longitude and latitude coordinates. In this post I want to show how one can geocode a…

Geocoding with Geopy in Python

I have already demonstrated various possibilities for geocoding spatial data in the form of city or location names in R, using APIs such as the one provided by Open Street Map. In this post I will demonstrate the possibility of…

Folium map-based visualization in Python

Using Folium in Python one can display maps. Folium can be installed using pip install. Folium make use of the leaflet.js library. In a previous post I already demonstrated how to e.g. plot markers and heatmaps onto maps in R,…
