InteractiveWorldPopulationMap-(Python+Folium)-

😄 A python project bases on folium library, making an interactive 2 layered pointer map which gives data about world population country wise.

Prerequisites ✏️

Libraries required:- 📚

• Folium
• Pandas

pip install folium  
pip install pandas  

*Run the above two commands in a shell to install the libraries

Files required:- 📂

• Populationstats.csv
• Worldcoordinates.json
• countries.csv
  The above files are available in the repository

IDE/Editor 📃

Any IDE/Editor may work which supports python 3.0++, I made this project on PyCharm with Python version 3.8.

Description & Usage 📕

Install the required libraries if not, before proceeding forwards. Copy/type the code from map(code).py in your respective text editor/IDE and save the code. Paste the above requisite in the directory where the current project is saved.
(It is done so python may discover the linked files as i have linked directly by placing the file in project's directory, you can place them anywhere but make sure to link them by changing their location inside the code).

Function of files

Worldcoordinates.json - tells python about map locations, it is used here so choropleth layer of map may highlight the countries based on latitude and longitude.
populationstats.csv - contains the country wise population of the world.(provides population data, since this is an older file you may use updated version from internet). countries.csv - contain latitude and longitude of countries(folium markers will be placed on them and click popup will display the population data).

A json (Javascipt object notation) - a file used to contain portable data, here data is enclosed in {}, value assignment is done using : and seperation is done using , .
A csv (Comma seperated value) - a file similiar to a .xls file but rather containing tables directly data is seperated using commas , here the first row specifies coloumn headers.

Note 🔆

Marker colors are decided on the basis of a nested if else loop using population data, which are representing the density of population.

background.add_child(folium.CircleMarker(location= [lt , lg],radius=6, popup= f"population: {ppl}",fill_color=icon_color(ppl), color='silver', fill_opacity=1.2, icon=folium.Icon(color=icon_color(ppl))))

The file will be saved on desired location and name here it saves in the project directory itself

geo_map.save("map.html")

Pre-Loaded zoom level value can be changed

geo_map = folium.Map(location=[23.52184053531888, 76.58126542592036], zoom_start=3.8)
