Try drawing a map with Python's folium package

There were few Japanese documents about folium, so I tried to summarize the basic usage. (The text is for folium-0.2.1)

What is folium

A package that makes it possible to use a library called Leaflet.js that can create interactive maps from python.

Installation

pip install pandas
pip install folium

Easy usage of folium (leaflet)

1. Create a map with folium.Map
2. Generate an object to be displayed in Liz with folium.Marker etc.
3. Place the object with Map.add_children
4. Output the map with Map.save

Example of simple mapping

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
#Sample when using folium with python

import folium

#Set Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture as a map standard
japan_location = [35, 135]

#Create a map by specifying the reference point and the initial magnification
map = folium.Map(location=japan_location, zoom_start=5)

#Place a marker at the reference point s
marker = folium.Marker(japan_location, popup='Akashi')
map.add_children(marker)

#Output map in html format
map.save(outfile="map.html")

A map like this will be created

Remarks

-When creating a map with folium.Map, you can specify map tiles with tiles.

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
#Sample of map tile specification
import folium

#Set Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture as a map standard
japan_location = [35, 135]

#Create a map with map tiles as Stamen Terrian
map = folium.Map(location=japan_location, zoom_start=5, tiles="Stamen Terrain")

#Output map in html format
map.save(outfile="stamen_terrain_map.html")

・ As an object to be installed on the map 　CircleMarker, ClickForMarker, RegularPolygonMarker Etc. are available by default.

in conclusion

It is recommended because you can easily make a map that can be moved. Please use it.
