I have seen the TripsLayer example in the deck.gl website (this one) and it looks really cool. I would like to accomplish the same but using pydeck, the python bindings for deck.gl. The example in pydeck's webpage (this one) is not animated and I am not sure how should I do it to get a smooth animation as shown in the javascript example. I have tried multiple things (passing lists, functions, variables with changing value etc.) but non of them have worked and I can't find any example with pydeck.
Thanks!
It's true that the example should include more trips. Here is how to achieve the animation of multiple trips in a jupyter notebook.
import time
import pandas as pd
import pydeck as pdk
