support for custom mapboxgl style about mapboxgl-jupyter HOT 10 CLOSED

thanks for your reply !

Your proposal is very close to the javascript mapboxgl API, so it would very easy to use. I do approve 👍

@nlehuby great call - right now we wrap the python variable passed to style_url as a string in each jinja template. We should enable an option to pass a python dictionary in JSON format and have the Jinja template format it as a JS object, not a string.

Proposal

Change the parameter name for viz class to style from style_url, and in the viz.py class, check if the style parameter is a url string or a Mapbox GL format JSON object.

Sample Python syntax for a mapboxgl.viz class:

# Stylesheet as Python dictionary in JSON format
mystyle = {my_mapbox_stylesheet}

#Load as a local stylesheet
viz3 = CircleViz(data, access_token=token, color_property='Avg Covered Charges',
                 style=mystyle,
                 color_stops=color_stops, center=[-95, 40], zoom=3)

#Load as a Mapbox Style
viz3 = CircleViz(data, access_token=token, color_property='Avg Covered Charges',
                 style="mapbox://ryanbaumann/styles/mystyle",
                 color_stops=color_stops, center=[-95, 40], zoom=3)

@nlehuby is this an issue you could submit a PR for?

from mapboxgl-jupyter.

This shipped in #59 !

Stumbled upon this issue while looking for a fix for: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62751062/mapbox-gl-in-jupyter-notebook-add-custom-marker/.

I'd like to use a custom marker for point coordinates, however, not seeing where do I make the fix.

Hey there @kevalshah90 , I had started something along those lines with #149. Does something along those lines meet your need? Or are you looking for something that just substitutes a different shape in place of a circle marker? That's not (yet) supported, but definitely something we could look into! Feel free to open a new issue :) https://github.com/mapbox/mapboxgl-jupyter/issues/

@kevalshah90 ah yes, the maki icons was the direction we decided to go, instead of that old PR I linked. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but glad to hear there's another vote for that feature.

For changing the marker radius, if you are using the CircleViz type, (https://mapbox-mapboxgl-jupyter.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/viz.html#class-circleviz) then you can set the radius as an argument. Here's an example:

viz = CircleViz(data,
                radius=5,
                access_token=token)
viz.show()

Hope that helps!

Glad to hear it! I think the answer to your question is yes. This repository just implements Python bindings to create visualizations embedded in a Jupyter notebook using Mapbox's JavaScript library. We are currently loading the Mapbox GL JS version 1.5.0 in our HTML template.

Thanks for reaching out! Hoping to revisit some more features on this project again soon :)
