11. Geographic Data

# It is often useful to be able to relate datasets with their real-world context. You can plot geographic data just like any other type of data, as in the [Texas Unemployment example](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/bokeh/bokeh-notebooks/blob/master/gallery/texas.ipynb), but Bokeh also Bokeh provides several specialized mechanisms for plotting data in geographic coordinates: # # * [TileSource](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/reference/models/tiles.html), especially WMTSTileSource: allows data to be overlaid on data from any map tile server, including [Google Maps](http://maps.google.com), [Stamen](http://maps.stamen.com), [MapQuest](https://www.mapquest.com/), [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org), [ESRI](http://www.esri.com), and custom servers. # * [GeoJSONDataSource](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.11.1/docs/user_guide/geo.html#geojson-datasource): Allows reading data in [GeoJSON](http://geojson.org/) format and using it just like any other ColumnDataSource. # * GMapPlot: older, more limited interface just to Google Maps (GMapPlot); obsoleted by TileSource. # # Here we will briefly demonstrate how to use a WTMS tile source along with your data. # # WMTS Tile Source # # WTMS is the most common web standard for tiled map data, i.e. maps supplied as standard-sized image patches from which the overall map can be constructed at a given zoom level. WTMS uses Web Mercator format, measuring distances from Greenwich, England as meters north and meters west, which is easy to compute but does distort the global shape. # # First let's create an empty Bokeh plot covering the USA, with bounds specified in meters: # In[1]: from bokeh.io import output_notebook, show output_notebook() # In[2]: from bokeh.plotting import figure from bokeh.tile_providers import WMTSTileSource USA = x_range,y_range = ((-13884029,-7453304), (2698291,6455972)) fig = figure(tools='pan, wheel_zoom', x_range=x_range, y_range=y_range) fig.axis.visible = False # A few WTMS tile sources are already defined in `bokeh.tile_providers`, but here we'll show how to specify the interface using a format string showing Bokeh how to request a tile with the required zoom, x, and y values from a given tile provider: # In[3]: url = 'http://a.basemaps.cartocdn.com/dark_all/{Z}/{X}/{Y}.png' attribution = "Map tiles by Carto, under CC BY 3.0. Data by OpenStreetMap, under ODbL" fig.add_tile(WMTSTileSource(url=url, attribution=attribution)) # If you show the figure, you can then use the wheel zoom and pan tools to navigate over any zoom level, and Bokeh will request the appropriate tiles from the server and insert them at the correct locations in the plot: # In[4]: show(fig) # That's all it takes to put map data into your plot! Of course, you'll usually want to show other data as well, or you could just use the tile server's own web address. You can now add anything you would normally use in a Bokeh plot, as long as you can obtain coordinates for it in Web Mercator format. For example: # In[5]: import pandas as pd import numpy as np def wgs84_to_web_mercator(df, lon="lon", lat="lat"): """Converts decimal longitude/latitude to Web Mercator format""" k = 6378137 df["x"] = df[lon] * (k * np.pi/180.0) df["y"] = np.log(np.tan((90 + df[lat]) * np.pi/360.0)) * k return df df = pd.DataFrame(dict(name=["Austin","NYC"],lon=[-97.7431,-74.0059],lat=[30.2672,40.7128])) wgs84_to_web_mercator(df) # In[6]: fig.circle(x=df['x'], y=df['y'],fill_color='blue', size=10) show(fig) # In[7]: ### EXERCISE: find some data in lat, lon (e.g. at http://data.gov), ### import it into a dataframe or data source, and add it on the map above.
