Overview of this book

With so much data being continuously generated, developers, who can present data as impactful and interesting visualizations, are always in demand. Interactive Data Visualization with Python sharpens your data exploration skills, tells you everything there is to know about interactive data visualization in Python. You'll begin by learning how to draw various plots with Matplotlib and Seaborn, the non-interactive data visualization libraries. You'll study different types of visualizations, compare them, and find out how to select a particular type of visualization to suit your requirements. After you get a hang of the various non-interactive visualization libraries, you'll learn the principles of intuitive and persuasive data visualization, and use Bokeh and Plotly to transform your visuals into strong stories. You'll also gain insight into how interactive data and model visualization can optimize the performance of a regression model. By the end of the course, you'll have a new skill set that'll make you the go-to person for transforming data visualizations into engaging and interesting stories.

6. Interactive Visualization of Geographical Data

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Use choropleth maps to represent data across geographical regions
  • Generate interactive choropleth maps, including choropleth maps depicting countries in the world and maps depicting states in the US, making layout changes to add functionality/aesthetic appeal, and adding animation
  • Generate interactive scatter plots on maps, including scatter plots indicating geolocations of places of interest and interactive bubble plots on maps
  • Generate interactive line plots on maps, including line plots indicating trajectories on a map

In this chapter, we'll learn about using interactive visualizations to depict data across geographical regions.
