Geolocated dataset interactive viewer / query

[jmp75]

Description

We've been working on an adapter to query geolocated datasets interactively, and display information upon cleaning on a feature of interest. This is of course very doable with ipyleaflet and ipywidgets, but usually duplicated across notebooks. I have felt the need for a package, and while scouting for third party work noticed leafmaptools. Colleagues and I would be happy to contribute if this fits in the scope of leafmaptools.

A visual of what I have in mind is at the end of this notebook, and attached. My colleague @fre171csiro authored a workflow retrieving and displaying spatial/temporal information from the AUS Bureau of Met services].

Our domain is mostly hydrology, and environmental sciences in general.

An early draft of an interactive geoviewer is there

Glad to know you consider contributing to this project at this very early stage! I'm not familiar with your use-case, but it looks like you display a plot for a number of data points on a map. I imagine there can be multiple ways of doing this, in a map corner or next to the map like you show, maybe depending on the plot size. Also depending on if you want this plot to "slide in/out" of the map, maybe. If so you'd need a container around the map. Have you tried anything like this? Is configuration important?

@giswqs is doing very sophisticated menus with ipywidgets and I'm not really there, yet...

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll see if I can polish it (well, be less rough as a start) and will explore the options you mention. I am certainly not sophisticated in my use of ipywidgets and will find it daunting to assimilate a portion of this work... I am more of a back-end modelling guy, rather occasional dabbler in UI.

I may get a part-time intern to work on a project in a few months; contributing to this may be a line of work.

@jmp75 Thank you for the suggestion. This seems a good feature to add to leafmaptools. I think we can polish the idea and make this feature for general use, e.g., allowing users to select an attribute(s) and plot time-series charts. Feel free to submit a pull request and we can improve it down the road. Thanks.
