Hi @jansule sorry for the radio silence... this is getting a fair amount of upvotes, and I share their enthusiasm. First off, I think this looks like a great plugin to add... I think a lot of people will find interesting use cases for it. If you're willing to develop it further, I think we'd be quite supportive! Particularly if it has good tests for making sure it stays stable, and hopefully is able to support recent features that the ECharts tend to have (e.g. drill to detail, etc). There was also a thread (which I can dig up if you're interested) about augmenting or replacing the MapBox plugin with something less licensed/proprietary than MapBox (which requires an access token). I see you're well underway on that effort in this plugin, so I wonder if there's a clever way to tackle both efforts in one plugin. Or maybe that's asking too much... it just crossed my mind ;) One curiosity: Is the In general, I'd love to learn more and I, for one, would love to see such a PR! |

Hi, for an easier implementation/conversion why wouldn't you use MapLibre.js? It sounds like you would not have to recreate your whole code as it is almost all the same as mapbox. (Maybe I arrive a bit late on the thread) |

It's definitely in consideration, but nobody has stepped up to volunteer the PRs to make the migration. We'd love to see such a contribution as part of 5.0 if you (or anyone reading this) is interested. |

Sadly, I don't feel confident enough as I don't consider myself as a developper. I was just taking the temperature to know the project's status :) Could you provide me the PRs you're referring to (I couldn't find it) ? |

Hi @rusackas thanks for your reply! We are happy to hear that our idea might be interesting for you.
Thanks, that sounds great! Since we created this discussion, we continued the development of the plugin and managed to create a (hopefully) usable prototype, which is definitely still rough around the edges.
We will try to draft a PR in January, since there is still quite some work to do. To give you a brief heads up, see below an overview of the current features and some screenshots. Regarding your questions:
We are currently using the
Our plugin supports the configuration of default layers that will automatically be included on every chart that will be created. Currently, this configuration takes place in
Currently, the geometry column is a GeoJSON string in EPSG:3857, but with some effort this could be extended.
We are creating single canvas elements for each chart and place them on the map. We created a dedicated OpenLayers layer class for this. So far, rendering the charts is definitely our bottleneck. We tested with a dataset containing around 50000 rows distributed over around 50 different locations. There, initial rendering takes a few seconds (~ <10sec), afterwards everything runs smooth, though. Features:
Screenshots:
Vector layer styling
Scale dependent chart size

Wow, this is looking amazing!!! Than you for all the thorough answers, and now I'm excited for January more than ever! :) CC @villebro @lauderbaugh @yousoph who are going to love this :) |

Love this! Can we start a Slack channel for this to make collaboration easier? |

Good idea... @jansule I don't see you on Slack but if you're on there, please DM either Ville or Me to say hello, and we can start a channel! |

Sounds really exciting!
@jansule could you share your thoughts on this, in terms of functionality and use cases? |

Sure. I am not very familiar with kepler.gl but from a first glance the main differences seem to be the following:
Cartodiagrams are generally useful for displaying multivariate data and thereby adds another possibility to the set of already supported thematic maps. I can imagine that a similar approach could be implemented with kepler.gl (or deck.gl), but I don't know how much effort that would be. We are more familiar with OpenLayers, which definitely adds to the equation. |

Another point is that by using OpenLayers, we support the official OGC standards WMS (raster layers) and WFS (vector layers). So we are not bound to a centralized service for serving map data. From a brief look at the documentation of kepler.gl, it looks like it uses mapbox under the hood. |

This is done by OpenStreetMap, google and others. See also: https://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/module-ol_source_XYZ-XYZ.html
No.
Currently, the layers will only be used as base layers which will be placed below the charting layer. So they will not be used for charting. However, this might be subject of future change. |

Finally, I managed to create a PR for this: #25869 |

I'm trying to use your fork to test the functionality and use it in my project, but the cartodiagrams visualization is not showing up. Do I have to do any additional configuration? |

Besides the points written down in the PR, there should be no additional steps. What exactly is not showing up? The cartodiagram viz-type when creating a new chart? |

Yes, I clone the repo and I run docker compose. But when I run the interface there is no cartodiagram viz on the chart creation section. |

I updated the PR to fit superset v4 a few weeks ago and pinged @villebro for review. But I guess it got lost in the noise. |

Dear Superset community,
we are working on a visualization plugin for displaying arbitrary ECharts on a map. To do so, we are developing a generic approach that makes use of the existing EChart plugins in Superset and renders them on distinct geolocations on a map. Interactions on the ECharts themselves will be preserved.
See here a (very rough) example implementation of our concept:
Example Explore View
Example Dashboard Panel
We plan on implementing following main features:
For our approach, we make use of the established OpenLayers library and base the layer configuration on the open standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), i.e. WMS and WFS. This ensures stability and longevity.
At the moment, the plugin is being developed as a third-party plugin. However, we think this plugin exceeds our project specific use-case and has potential value for the broader community (as can be seen in #9281). Hence, we are evaluating the interest of becoming a core plugin of Superset.
Would it be of interest for you to add such a plugin as core plugin to Superset?
We are looking forward to getting feedback from you.
