plotly VS folium

First we need to install the Plotly. To create some very dynamic graphics, this tool helps a lot.

my good dude wake up and smell the plotly. Knowing the ins and outs of matplotlib is helpful but doing interactive stuff with jupyter I always use plotly.

I don´t know your workflow, but I use 2 markdown based presentations: obsidian advance slides and Quarto presentations. The former is a plugin for Obsidian, which is the software I use to take all my notes, write my thesis, etc., so It makes it extremely easy to make presentations since all my information is in Obsidian. In the other hand, Quarto is a publishing system (articles, presentations, websites books) that can be easily integrated with python and R. This makes it supper convenient for showing my data to my PI since I can analyze my data and at the same time make a presentation for the data. Besides this, Quarto also integrates with my Zotero library, so I can insert citations. Lastly, one thing that made my Quarto presentations infinitely better that the powerpoints, Is that I can insert interactive graphs with plotly, so when I'm showing my data, my PI is able to explore the data inside the presentation.

I'm using plotly.py now. This is why I love this community.

Depending on the nature of your reporting requirements, you could output a formatted Excel document with Python and a library such as openpyxl, and shove that into your SharePoint environment. This would be less dynamic than PBI reports can be, but may be sufficient. If you want viz as well, you can use something like ggplot or Plotly. Again, less dynamic than PBI for the same effort.

A good thing to try would be to look over the folium documentation on their GitHub Page, Folium. For help with code you could ask ChatGPT to explain what you're interested in using their docs.

I currently utilize Folium for a work project but would like to move it out of Folium into something that supports API requests for real-time data and vector tiles instead of raster.

If you know Python you can use Folium produce Leaflet maps without using Javascript. I'm not sure if the updating functionality you require is possible, but could be worth a look.

Try Folium, here are some examples.

For our visualizations we will be using Folium. This is a description from the authors:

I'm mapping some election results, and trying to create a diagrammatic representation of who voted for whom, and where. I'm using Python, and I can create a perfectly respectable initial map (without Voronoi diagrams) using its folium package, with OpenStreetMap tiles. See https://numbersandshapes.net/posts/post_election_swings/.

Look in the folium package. https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/

Choropleth maps are a quick and easy way to visualize a numeric variable geographically. I love the ease and interactivity of most functions from the folium module, but the choropleth method lacks interactivity and clarity in the legend.
