Population by macroregion
=========================

In this example we want to visualize the most recent data on
brazilian population by macroregion.

Let's first retrieve the data with the `seriesbr <seriesbr.readthedocs.io>`_ package.


.. code-block:: default


    from seriesbr import ibge

    population = ibge.get_series(6462, 606, macroregions=True, last_n=1)








Then let's convert this ``DataFrame`` into a ``GeoDataFrame`` by assigning
to a column named "geometry" the macroregions' geometric objects.

You can get a geometric object for a given location with the function
:py:func:`mapsbr.ibgemaps.geocode`. It can either be a location code or name. If
it's a name, you'll need to pass which is its geographic level to avoid ambiguity.

For example, ``ibgemaps.geocode("Rio de Janeiro", geolevel="state")`` if you want Rio
de Janeiro state map or ``ibgemaps.geocode("Rio de Janeiro", geolevel="municipality")`` if
the map for Rio de Janeiro city.

Notice that the column with the geometric objects **has** to be named geometry. Otherwise
you'll need to call the ``set_geometry("geometries_column")`` method on the
``GeoDataFrame``.


.. code-block:: default


    import geopandas as gpd
    from mapsbr import ibgemaps

    gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame(population)
    gdf["geometry"] = ibgemaps.geocode(population["Grande Região"], geolevel="macroregion")
    gdf.plot(column="Valor", legend=True, edgecolor="w")

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    plt.gca().axis("off")
    plt.show()
