Visualization

The visualization module provides a variety of functions to visualize initial, intermediate and final datasets within trackintel.

plot

trackintel.visualization.plot(positionfixes=None, staypoints=None, triplegs=None, locations=None, radius_sp=100, radius_locs=150, filename=None, plot_osm=False, ax=None)[source]

Plots positionfixes, staypoints, locations on a map (optionally to a file)

One of the arguments [positionfixes, staypoints, triplegs, locations] should not be None!

Parameters:
  • positionfixes (GeoDataFrame (as trackintel positionfixes), optional) – Positionfixes to plot, by default None

  • staypoints (GeoDataFrame (as trackintel staypoints), optional) – Staypoints to plot, by default None

  • triplegs (GeoDataFrame (as trackintel triplegs), optional) – Triplegs to plot, by default None

  • locations (GeoDataFrame (as trackintel locations), optional) – Locations to plot, by default None

  • radius_sp (float, optional) – Radius in meter for circles around staypoints, default 100

  • radius_locs (float, optional) – Radius in meter for circles around locations, default 150

  • filename (str, optional) – The file to plot to, else if ax is none plot will be shown, by default None

  • plot_osm (bool, optional) – If True, will download OSM street network and plot it as base map, by default False If True depending on the extent of your data, this might take a long time!

  • ax (matplotlib.pyplot.Artist, optional) – axis on which to draw the plot, by default None

Examples

>>> ti.plot(positionfixes=pfs, filename="output.png", plot_osm=True)
