Simple Map plot using Shapefile

Dataset

Load dataset

First, we load a dataset containing the store location in San Francisco. For this project, we just want to combine all polygon data, so we used dissolve function to combine it into single polygon.

study_area = gpd.read_file(r"..\map\map_service_area\ServiceAreas_4.shp").dissolve()

The Code

By calling maps.generate_point_in_poly, we can plot the locations in New York based on their coordinates and use the shapefile to add map features.

result = maps.generate_point_in_poly(number=50, polygon=study_area, plot=True)

This function requires the following parameters:

• number (int): number of point
• polygon (geodataframe): Data location and value
• plot (Boolean): generate map plot

The result
