01 leafmap intro

Introducing the leafmap Python package for interactive mapping

Uncomment the following line to install leafmap if needed.

In [1]:

# !pip install leafmap

# !pip install leafmap

leafmap has four plotting backends: folium, ipyleaflet, here-map, and kepler.gl. Note that the backends do not offer equal functionality. Some interactive functionality in ipyleaflet might not be available in other plotting backends. To use a specific plotting backend, use one of the following:

• import leafmap.leafmap as leafmap
• import leafmap.foliumap as leafmap
• import leafmap.heremap as leafmap
• import leafmap.kepler as leafmap

In [2]:

import leafmap

import leafmap

Create an interactive map.

In [3]:

m = leafmap.Map()
m

m = leafmap.Map() m

Out[3]:

Make this Notebook Trusted to load map: File -> Trust Notebook

Specify the default map center and zoom level.

In [4]:

m = leafmap.Map(center=[50, 19], zoom=4)  # center=[lat, lon]
m

m = leafmap.Map(center=[50, 19], zoom=4) # center=[lat, lon] m

Out[4]:

Set the visibility of map controls.

In [5]:

m = leafmap.Map(
    draw_control=False,
    measure_control=False,
    fullscreen_control=False,
    attribution_control=True,
)
m

m = leafmap.Map( draw_control=False, measure_control=False, fullscreen_control=False, attribution_control=True, ) m

Change the map width and height.

In [6]:

m = leafmap.Map(height="450px", width="800px")
m

m = leafmap.Map(height="450px", width="800px") m

Out[6]:

Use the ipyleaflet plotting backend.

In [7]:

import leafmap.leafmap as leafmap

import leafmap.leafmap as leafmap

In [8]:

m = leafmap.Map()
m

m = leafmap.Map() m

Use the folium plotting backend.

In [9]:

import leafmap.foliumap as leafmap

import leafmap.foliumap as leafmap

In [10]:

m = leafmap.Map()
m

m = leafmap.Map() m

Out[10]:
