Getting Started

To get started, have a look at the πŸ› Installation instructions and the 🌱 Basics section to learn how to use EOmaps!

In addition, there is also the 🧰 Companion Widget GUI that can be used to interactively edit/compare/overlay maps and explore the features and functionalities.

Data Visualization

Want to visualize some data? Have a look at the πŸ”΄ Data Visualization section to learn how to create beautiful maps with your datasets!

EOmaps provides a variety of plot-shapes so you can select a shape that suits the structure, size and spatial representativeness of your data:

Ellipses
Rectangles
Geodesic Circles
raster
Scatter Points
Contour
Voronoi Diagram
Delaunay Triangulation
Shade Raster
Shade Points

Map Features

EOmaps provides many useful tools to customize your maps.

Add basic map features (coastlines, ocean-coloring etc. ) to the map.

Add imagery provided by WebMap services to the map.

Create zoomed-in views on specific regions of a map.

Add vector geometries to the map.

Add markers, annotations, lines, logos etc. to the map.

Add a scalebar to the map.

Add a compass (or North Arrow) to the map.

Add grid-lines (and optionally grid-labels) to the map.

Interactivity

With a few lines of code, you can turn your maps into interactive data-analysis widgets!

A graphical user-interface to interact with the map.

Turn your maps into interactive data-analysis widgets.

Interactively re-arrange and re-size axes of a figure.

Interactively draw geometries on a map and export them as shapefiles.
