Command to install plotly:
pip install plotly
Below is the implementation:
# Python program to plot # geographical data using plotly # importing all necessary libraries import plotly.plotly as py import plotly.graph_objs as go import pandas as pd # some more libraries to plot graph from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, iplot, plot # To establish connection init_notebook_mode(connected = True) # type defined is choropleth to # plot geographical plots data = dict(type = 'choropleth', # location: Arizoana, California, Newyork locations = ['AZ', 'CA', 'NY'], # States of USA locationmode = 'USA-states', # colorscale can be added as per requirement colorscale = 'Portland', # text can be given anything you like text = ['text 1', 'text 2', 'text 3'], z = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0], colorbar = {'title': 'Colorbar Title Goes Here'}) layout = dict(geo ={'scope': 'usa'}) # passing data dictionary as a list choromap = go.Figure(data = [data], layout = layout) # plotting graph iplot(choromap) |
Output:
