Thanks! I did use geopandas and it seems it is the easiest method of creating a choropleth in Python. Support for displaying a colorbar for noncategorical data is missing so I implemented it but my PR hasn't been merged yet. On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 6:07 PM, Benjamin Root wrote: > Sorry for the de

I have been creating chloropleth maps in Python by adding patches and/or polygons in a matplotlib Axes but I'm looking for something easier to use. Ideally, the interface should be similar to how contour maps or pseudocolor plots are created where, at the minimum, only one call to a function is ne
