Polar Projections

[keltonhalbert]

Does folium support polar projections, such as EPSG:3573? In fact, nearly any polar projection would be fine...

You will need the Proj4 plugin that, currently, it is not available on folium.

Take a look at this example for more information on how to do that:

Hi, @ocefpaf !
Folium is incredibly nice software!

I'd like to contribute by developing a plugin that allows to show NASA GIBS maps in Polar projections (see examples here)

Is there a template for plugins? Where to start from?
I didn't have time yet to look at the code and believe that a little guidance will help greatly.

Regards!
Anton

@acrosby I guess that this is the best/simple example for a plugin is,

https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/blob/master/folium/plugins/fullscreen.py

and the plugin you want is https://github.com/kartena/Proj4Leaflet

It would be an awesome adding to folium!

I think @ocefpaf was trying to reference @akorosov

[ocefpaf]

Yes. Sorry @acrosby! (GitHub autocomplete got me there.)

@akorosov did you get anywhere with this?
