Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to create choropleth and street maps in Julia. We can now read maps in the shapefile, GeoJSON, and OSM formats. Additionally, we saw the basic requirements to plot geographically distributed data using Plots, GeoMakie, and OpenStreetMapXPlot. The three packages have different strengths and use cases, for which we have explored the most classic ones. Therefore, this chapter should be a good starting point when trying to plot our own geographically distributed data.
In the next chapter, we will take advantage of the available packages in the Julia ecosystem for plotting biological data.
