Hi,

I want to draw “Fault Lines” on the map. As you know fault lines are actually geo-lines with some vertex and not striaght lines.  
Is it possible to do this with scattergeo or any other way?  
Does plotly allow using geojson?

regards

@doga Yes you can draw lines on maps, work with geojson and make choropleths.

Here are links to notebooks that illustrate each one:

thank you,

I tried mapbox version. It works. But mapbox maps is not look zoomable.

How can I zoom in/out ?
