Widget for deck.gl maps

pydeck: Large-scale interactive data visualization in Python

The pydeck library is a set of Python bindings for making spatial visualizations with deck.gl, optimized for a Jupyter environment. To get started, see the documentation.

To install pydeck, see the instructions here.

For interactive demos, click the binder logo below:

Sample code

The following code renders a visualization similar to the one above in a Jupyter notebook:

import pydeck as pdk

# 2014 locations of car accidents in the UK
UK_ACCIDENTS_DATA = ('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uber-common/'
                     'deck.gl-data/master/examples/3d-heatmap/heatmap-data.csv')

# Define a layer to display on a map
layer = pdk.Layer(
    'HexagonLayer',
    UK_ACCIDENTS_DATA,
    get_position=['lng', 'lat'],
    auto_highlight=True,
    elevation_scale=50,
    pickable=True,
    elevation_range=[0, 3000],
    extruded=True,                 
    coverage=1)

# Set the viewport location
view_state = pdk.ViewState(
    longitude=-1.415,
    latitude=52.2323,
    zoom=6,
    min_zoom=5,
    max_zoom=15,
    pitch=40.5,
    bearing=-27.36)

# Render
r = pdk.Deck(layers=[layer], initial_view_state=view_state)
r.to_html('demo.html')

If you're developing outside a Jupyter environment, you can run:

r.to_html('demo.html', notebook_display=False)

See the gallery for more examples.
