Plotting line chart on top of a map - is this possible with bokeh?

Community Support

Hi I’d like to plot some line charts with 10 day weather forecast (wunderground) data on top of the city location on a map… Let’s say new York, Los Angeles, Miami and Seattle (ok maybe rain better here)…

Is this something that’s possible with bokeh?

I don’t see why not. Have you seen the trail example?

Sarah thanks again…

I saw that example, but that is plotting a route on a map using a line.

I probably was not clear in choosing my wording, since I need to get myself familiar with the right Bokeh terminology :slight_smile: …

But what I’d like to do is plot a couple of charts (eg. something like shown on this page: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/gallery/legend.html) on top of a map.

so

chart 1 is plotted near New York on the map shows average temperature and wind speeds in a line plot

chart 2 is plotted near Seattle on the map and shows average temperature and wind speeds in a line plot

etc…

Hope this helps…

Regards,

G.

I see.

I believe this is not possible in Bokeh currently.

I have seen discussion about this somewhere, but not sure where and can’t seem to find a ticket, maybe on the mailing list.

Best,

Bird

Is the questions on about one single map? I don’t quite understand the question. But any glyphs can be plotted on top of a gmap plot.

I think this is about locating multiple charts/plots on top of a map.

I’m assuming something like this: http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2012/09/visualize-complex-data-with-subplots.html
