Text layer

The text layer displays text labels associated to taxid values.

In this example we display the taxid values of all species in the iucn dataset. The text argument allows to specify the data column containing the text to be displayed. Text size, font and colors cen be defined by additional arguments font_size, color, stroke or font_family.

You can add hide_labels=True to your Lifemap call if you want to hide the default taxa names layer.

import polars as pl
from pylifemap import Lifemap

# Load iucn dataset
iucn = pl.read_parquet(
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lifemap-ToL/pylifemap/main/data/iucn.parquet"
)

(
    Lifemap(iucn, hide_labels=True)
    .layer_text(text="taxid", font_size=14, color="#F5D770", stroke="#000")
    .show()
)

Warning: 777 taxids have not been found in Lifemap database.
Warning: 152 duplicated taxids have been found in the data.
