geoplot: geospatial data visualization ====================================== .. raw:: html
``geoplot`` is a high-level Python geospatial plotting library. It's an extension to ``cartopy`` and ``matplotlib`` which makes mapping easy: like ``seaborn`` for geospatial. It comes with the following features: * **High-level plotting API**: ``geoplot`` is cartographic plotting for the 90% of use cases. All of the standard-bearermaps that you’ve probably seen in your geography textbook are easily accessible. * **Native projection support**: The most fundamental peculiarity of geospatial plotting is projection: how do you unroll a sphere onto a flat surface (a map) in an accurate way? The answer depends on what you’re trying to depict. ``geoplot`` provides these options. * **Compatibility with Matplotlib**: While ``matplotlib`` is not a good fit for working with geospatial data directly, it’s a format that’s well-incorporated by other tools.
