In 2019, IEEE ranked Python as the top programming language in the world (Link: <\/span>https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/static\/interactive-the-top-programming-languages-2019<\/span>). Many data scientists and business analytics professions still felt that R was better, specifically in the areas of statistical analysis and visualization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Python has a lot of libraries for visualizations including matplotlib and seaborn. Earlier, visualizing geographic data was a challenge. Geopandas was not simple to use. With Plotly this has changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

We share a colab file which visualizes geographic data using Plotly in Python. Link to the file:<\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/colab.research.google.com\/drive\/1qefpxRj52tH4D380MdPVc9RG9FZjY3Ht<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Please feel free to copy it to your drive and run the file that will show how COVID-19 has moved from a local health concern to a global pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

We took the raw time-series data from the widely used\u00a0<\/span>John Hopkins repo<\/span><\/a>, processed it and then using Plotly to graphically show the spread of worldwide spread of coronavirus over time. <\/span>We have four charts which are automated using <\/span>choropleth maps in Python with Plotly for global confirmed cases, deaths, recovered and existing cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the play button, you can see how the cases spread over time. Using Plotly, we showcase how simple it is to build an automated geographical visualisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy it!<\/span><\/p>\n
