Plot colored polygons with geodataframe in folium

Question

I\'m trying to plot radar data in folium, and I\'m almost there. I followed this example (Contour plot data (lat,lon,value) within boundaries and export GeoJSON) to get my data

Answer 1

Not an expert... I just started with folium and jupyter and had a similar problem but with lines. You say you have GeoJson and polygons and the color is included in the json I assume.

The style_function might help you to get what you want?

The example below is produced with this page: http://geojson.io/ All I had to do was a "mapping" with the style_function. It's also possible to use a self defined function, see: https://github.com/python-visualization/folium/blob/master/examples/Colormaps.ipynb

import folium
geoJsonData = {
    "features": [
        {
            "geometry": {
                "coordinates": [

The folium source code on git hub includes several nice examples as well:

Hope this brings you forward!
