_map-nl_ is a Python package to help you quickly create [PC4](https://public.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/georef-netherlands-postcode-pc4/table/) maps of the Netherlands. While that is already possible without _map-nl_, this package aims to make the process a lot easier. It automatically downloads the geojson files, so all you need to provide is a dataset with two columns: One containing PC4 codes and one with a related value to plot on the map. _map-nl_ then uses [folium](https://github.com/python-visualization/folium) to plot the map.

For an example map created with _map-nl_, see [here](https://fpgmaas.github.io/map-nl/static/choropleth.html).

## Quickstart

### Installation

To add _map-nl_ to your project, run one of the following commands:

```shell
# Install with poetry
poetry add map-nl

# Install with pip
pip install map-nl
```

### Usage

To create a choropleth map of the average WOZ-value in the Netherlands, you could run the following:

```py
import pandas as pd
from map_nl import ChoroplethMapNL

df = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fpgmaas/map-nl/main/data/woz-pc4.csv")

m = ChoroplethMapNL(geojson_simplify_tolerance=0.0001).plot(
    df, pc4_column_name="pc4", value_column_name="WOZ", legend_name="Average WOZ Value"
)
m.save("map.html")
```

This will download the geojson file to the `.map_nl` directory, simplify the geojson file to reduce the disk size of the plot, plot the map and save it to disk.

For more details, see [the documentation](https://fpgmaas.github.io/map-nl).
