Description
Dear all
I would like to make a map of weather-like data as temperature or pressure on a folium map similar to the plot below (from https://cdoovision.com/us-temperature-contour-map/):
As it can be seen it is not a choropleth map as the contours go through the states and it is not a heatmap as I do not care how many measurements underlies this. The data I have is not gridded, but I have many individual measurements semi-randomly scattered over a large area.
Is this possible in folium currently in any way?
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue does not name any implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing Folium's existing layer and data-visualization APIs to determine whether scattered measurements can support contour maps; done would require a defined API and documented support for this map type.
