Filled area on mapbox

Mapbox Access Token and Base Map Configuration

To plot on Mapbox maps with Plotly you may need a Mapbox account and a public Mapbox Access Token. See our Mapbox Map Layers documentation for more information.

There are three different ways to show a filled area in a Mapbox map:

  1. Use a Scattermapbox trace and set fill attribute to 'toself'
  2. Use a Mapbox layout (i.e. by minimally using an empty Scattermapbox trace) and add a GeoJSON layer
  3. Use the Choroplethmapbox trace type

Filled Scattermapbox Trace

The following example uses Scattermapbox and sets fill = 'toself'

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Scattermapbox(
    fill = "toself",
    lon = [-74, -70, -70, -74], lat = [47, 47, 45, 45],
    marker = { 'size': 10, 'color': "orange" }))

fig.update_layout(
    mapbox = {
        'style': "stamen-terrain",
        'center': {'lon': -73, 'lat': 46 },
        'zoom': 5},
    showlegend = False)

fig.show()

Multiple Filled Areas with a Scattermapbox trace

The following example shows how to use None in your data to draw multiple filled areas. Such gaps in trace data are unconnected by default, but this can be controlled via the connectgaps attribute.

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Scattermapbox(
    mode = "lines", fill = "toself",
    lon = [-10, -10, 8, 8, -10, None, 30, 30, 50, 50, 30, None, 100, 100, 80, 80, 100],
    lat = [30, 6, 6, 30, 30,    None, 20, 30, 30, 20, 20, None, 40, 50, 50, 40, 40]))

fig.update_layout(
    mapbox = {'style': "stamen-terrain", 'center': {'lon': 30, 'lat': 30}, 'zoom': 2},
    showlegend = False,
    margin = {'l':0, 'r':0, 'b':0, 't':0})

fig.show()

GeoJSON Layers

In this map we add a GeoJSON layer.

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Scattermapbox(
    mode = "markers",
    lon = [-73.605], lat = [45.51],
    marker = {'size': 20, 'color': ["cyan"]}))

fig.update_layout(
    mapbox = {
        'style': "stamen-terrain",
        'center': { 'lon': -73.6, 'lat': 45.5},
        'zoom': 12, 'layers': [{
            'source': {
                'type': "FeatureCollection",
                'features': [{
                    'type': "Feature",
                    'geometry': {
                        'type': "MultiPolygon",
                        'coordinates': [[[
