plot shapefile in python - python

I have a couple shape files that I want to plot some scatterplot data on top of that.
Does anyone have a way to load a shape file then plot it?
I've followed a couple of tutorials, but have not been successful so far.
The shape file, I am trying to use is one of the roads in Pakistan.
Found Here
I downloaded the modules pyshp and shapelib but am open to others!

Helpful tutorial for shapefiles and using basemap to plot maps: http://www.packtpub.com/article/plotting-geographical-data-using-basemap

As much as i love D3, Matplotlib and R, this sounds like you just want create an overlay above a Google Maps chart.
This is easier than you might expect:

Check out Qgis for that purpose.
It has a python console that enables you to treat data in an efficient way.
It also reads and writes .shp-files.

Exporting functional Plotly sunburst plot

Does anyone know how I can export a plotly sunburst plot as a standalone file which can keep all the functionalities, like annotation while hovering and expansion by click?
Visualizing a hierarchical data with plotly.sunburst in python is a beautiful and beneficial way of presenting it in the best order, while you are able to hover the values to see the annotation, click on each parent section to collapse and expand the child values, etc.. But to present the visualized data (plot) independently without having to open the Python notebook, needs the plot to be saved and exported in a standalone file format that allows keeping every functionality available.
Does anyone know how to do this? and what file format can give this luxury to us?
Thanks
Saving to an HTML file will do the trick:

How to add wind vectors over a density heatmap?

I have this density heatmap generated using Python Plotly package:
Now I need to add wind vectors over the heatmap. I would like to use quiver plots if possible, but currently I want to know how to add any kind of plot to a mapbox.
I have only found this example but the source code in the Plotly Chart Studio doesn't load so I don't know how to do it, also I need it in 2D:
I am not 100% sure if it is helpful but there is a software called QGIS (it's free). It is much easier to work with geospatial data there. Also, try rasterio library. It may have some functions like that (library for geospatial analyze)
I once used the velocity capability of ipyleaflet https://ipyleaflet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_reference/velocity.html
It is not using plotly but could be a good replacement for this kind of map until you find a better solution.

Is there any way to save all graphs generated using the script to a single file (image preferably)

The scripts I use generate a lot of graphs. I was wondering if there was a way to save them or specified ones into a single file as image or pdf for quicklooks.
Thank you.
If you are using matplotlib, it would be easiest to use the subplots feature. This will make all of your graphs part of a single object, which can be saved as an image like you want. I would redirect you to the matplotlib website for a ton of good example on the subject. https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.subplots.html
Then, do
fig.savefig('mysweetsubplots.png')
and you are done.

Analyze graph using Python Library or create graph using matplotlib

I have got graph which need to analyzed and report an Error.As of Now I had a data in Excel data.So I have used xlsxwriter to Create graph.But I need to analyze graph.
1.Solid red line was created using xlsxwriter using excel data and was very easy to implement.
In later Enhancement,
2.In Ideal condition,The formula provided to us, we will have dotted red line. So we need to determine difference and report an error.
So First approach was, write a data in Excel sheet using formula and compare data into Excel sheet and report an error.
But we also need to represent into graph also and we will have upcoming task also in which we require graph (basically 2D and line graph) I have googled and found matplotlib which generally use for create graph. So I have very basic question,
Can anyone suggest me library which can be used for this scenario. it will be great if I have input any standard graph library(cover Line grpah) So I can put effort to familiarize with them. it will save lot of effort of us. we generally create graph for circuit analysis.
Language : Python
Environment : Linux
Library : Should be open source
I know, it is very open ended question.But I thought Let have a opinion who has used graph in Python
or is it possible to create below like diagram using matplotlib

Interactive plotting in Python?

Matlab and Mathematica both have features that allow the user to manipulate the contents of a plot using, say, a slider. For example, if you have a set of 3D data, it is easy to make a small program that lets you view 2D slices of a set of 3D data where the user can slide a slider to move through which slice is displayed. Is there anything in python that allows for this sort of capability without tons of effort? For example, is it possible to do such a thing in matplotlib, or something similar? I
Thanks.
My first thought would be Mayavi, which is great for data visualization, especially in 3D. It relies on VTK. It is included in the Enthought flavoured version of Python, together with Chaco for 2D plotting. To get an idea, look at Travis Vaught's nice screencast in Multidimensional Data Visualization in Python - Mixing Chaco and Mayavi.
It also possible to embed basic interactive functionalities (like slider) to Matplotlib, see matplotlib.widgets and the widget examples.
Finally, you can use rpy (or better, rpy2) and benefit from the R interface.
Have you looked at Vtk? http://www.vtk.org/ One of their demos does exactly what you're asking.
In principle, you can do it by help of MathGL. This is cross-platform GPL library for plotting.
For each mouse clicks you can find the x,y,z position in plot or clicked object and adjust (replot) some other information correspondingly. However you should handle mouse clicks by yourself (for example, using PyQt).
Another option is to use python within the SAGE computation interface/environment, which has the #interact command (see here for specific help on this command)
