Polygon from list of points example

[HZALK]

As suggested by reviewers I've created an example notebook that shows the application of convex hull and envelope to create polygons from a list of points in folium maps. Since continuous-integration did not like the sequence of my first request, this is an updated version.

Awesome addition to our example gallery. Thanks @HZALK!

Can you please change the last line to my_map_global instead of my_map_global.save('example_map.html') so the map is displayed in the repr?

[HZALK]

Thank you, @ocefpaf :-)
I've changed the respective line.

Good work @HZALK, this will make a good addition to the example gallery. I have a few comments to possibly improve it, but none of these are critical, so do what you like and let me know which ones you want to skip.

• You use two different variable/function name formats. It's best to stick to the PEP8 one: variable_name and def function_name(). So DrawPoints() would become draw_points(). That way we have consistent styling in the folium library.
• Don't make your lines too long. It's best if we don't have to scroll sideways to read what's going on.
• For the example I think it would be better to show a map after each polygon type. So explain a bit about convex hull, then immediately show the code and the map with the convex hull. That way it is clear what the section is about. You can still show a final map at the end combining them.
• The polygon line and the points have the same color, and the line runs over the points. It's hard to see the points under the line. Maybe make the points a different color/shade (and thicker) and have them put on top of the line.
• If you use LayerControl(collapsed=False) it shows the controls, which is better I think because not everyone may know you can hover the control button in the top right corner.

Thank you @Conengmo for you great feedback and suggestions. I’ve addressed all points you mentioned.

Merged! Thanks @HZALK for your contribution! If you want to help out again you're very welcome to do so.

Thanks @Conengmo. It was a pleasure. If have a new idea, I'll be glad to contribute again. :-)
