+
+`visnetmap` is a Python library for creating interactive network and map visualizations as standalone HTML files.
+
+It provides two main visualization tools:
+
+- `visnet()` — interactive network graph visualization using **vis-network**
+![netWork example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Atsaniik/visnetmap/main/img/network.png)
+- `netMap()` — interactive geographical network map using **Leaflet**
+![netMap example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Atsaniik/visnetmap/main/img/netmap.png)
+
+The package is designed for researchers, students, and analysts who want to quickly generate shareable HTML visualizations from Python data structures, NetworkX graphs, or location-based network data.
+
+---
+
+## Live demo
+
+A presentation/demo page is available here:
+
+[https://atsaniik.github.io/Finland_DMOs_Vienna/](https://atsaniik.github.io/Finland_DMOs_Vienna/)
+
+This page demonstrates the type of interactive network and map visualizations that can be produced with `visnetmap`.
+
+---
+
+## Main features
+
+- Generate standalone interactive HTML files
+- Visualize NetworkX-like graphs
+- Visualize geographical networks on maps
+- Support node and edge hover information
+- Support weighted edges
+- Support directed graphs
+- Support custom node size, color, shape, and labels
+- Support map markers and curved/arced connections
+- Export generated visualizations as HTML
+- Optionally open output directly in a browser
+- No JavaScript coding required for normal use
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Install from PyPI:
+
+```bash
+pip install visnetmap
+```
+
+If you want to use NetworkX examples:
+
+```bash
+pip install "visnetmap[networkx]"
+```
+
+If the package is not yet published on PyPI, install directly from GitHub:
+
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/Atsaniik/visnetmap.git
+```
+
+For local development:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Atsaniik/visnetmap.git
+cd visnetmap
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick start: network visualization
+
+```python
+import networkx as nx
+from visnetmap import visnet
+
+G = nx.DiGraph()
+
+G.add_weighted_edges_from([
+    ("B", "A", 5),
+    ("C", "A", 2),
+    ("D", "A", 1),
+    ("B", "C", 2),
+    ("E", "F", 4),
+    ("E", "G", 3),
+    ("E", "H", 2),
+])
+
+visnet(
+    G,
+    network_title="Knowledge Sharing Network",
+    writeHTML="knowledge_network.html",
+    browserView=True,
+)
+```
+
+This creates an HTML file such as:
+
+```text
+netOutPut/knowledge_network.html
+```
+
+and opens it in your browser if `browserView=True`.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start: map visualization
+
+```python
+from visnetmap import netMap
+
+cities = [
+    {

+    connections,
+    title="Global City Network",
+    writeHTML="city_network_map.html",
+    browserView=True,

+```
+
+This creates an HTML file such as:
+
+```text
+mapOutPut/city_network_map.html
+```
+
+---
+
+## Import options
+
+The main functions can be imported directly:

+
+## `netMap()` overview
+
+`netMap()` creates an interactive geographical network map.
+
+Basic usage:
+
+```python
+netMap(
+    cities_data,
+    connections_data,
+    title="Network Map",
+    maximum_nodes=100,
+    writeHTML="network_map.html",
+    browserView=False,
+)
+```
+
+---

+Each city or map node is a dictionary.
+
+Required key:

+    "color": "blue",
+    "shape": "circle",
+    "node_hover": "Helsinki, Finland",

+
+If latitude and longitude are missing, `netMap()` may attempt to geocode the location name using `geopy` and Nominatim, depending on the installed version and function settings.
+
+---

+Each connection is a dictionary.
+
+Required keys:

+```python
+from visnetmap import netMap
+
+cities = [
+    {
+        "node": "Helsinki",
+        "lat": 60.1699,
+        "lon": 24.9384,
+        "size": 15,
+        "color": "blue",
+        "shape": "circle",
+        "node_hover": "Helsinki",
+    },
+    {
+        "node": "Joensuu",
+        "lat": 62.6010,
+        "lon": 29.7636,
+        "size": 10,
+        "color": "green",
+        "shape": "star",
+        "node_hover": "Joensuu",
+    },
+    {
+        "node": "Kuopio",
+        "lat": 62.8924,
+        "lon": 27.6770,
+        "size": 10,
+        "color": "orange",
+        "shape": "square",
+        "node_hover": "Kuopio",
+    },
+]
+
+connections = [
+    {
+        "node1": "Helsinki",
+        "node2": "Joensuu",
+        "color": "blue",
+        "width": 3,
+        "arrow": True,
+        "curve": True,
+        "edge_hover": "Helsinki to Joensuu",
+    },
+    {
+        "node1": "Helsinki",
+        "node2": "Kuopio",
+        "color": "orange",
+        "width": 2,
+        "arrow": True,
+        "curve": True,
+        "edge_hover": "Helsinki to Kuopio",
+    },
+]
+
+netMap(
+    cities,
+    connections,
+    title="Finnish Destination Network",
+    writeHTML="finland_destination_network.html",
+    browserView=True,
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Output files
+
+By default, `visnet()` writes network HTML files to:
+
+```text
+netOutPut/
+```
+
+and `netMap()` writes map HTML files to:
+
+```text
+mapOutPut/
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```python
+visnet(G, writeHTML="my_network.html")
+```
+
+creates:
+
+```text
+netOutPut/my_network.html
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```python
+netMap(cities, connections, writeHTML="my_map.html")
+```
+
+creates:
+
+```text
+mapOutPut/my_map.html
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tile provider note for maps
+
+`netMap()` uses web map tiles through Leaflet. Depending on your configuration, map tiles may come from providers such as CARTO, OpenStreetMap, Esri, or other services.
+
+For public or high-traffic use, avoid relying directly on OpenStreetMap volunteer tile servers. Use a proper tile provider or your own tile server if needed.
+
+Example with CARTO tiles:
+
+```python
+netMap(
+    cities,
+    connections,
+    title="Map with CARTO tiles",
+    tile_url="https://{s}.basemaps.cartocdn.com/light_all/{z}/{x}/{y}{r}.png",
+    tile_attribution='&copy; <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors &copy; <a href="https://carto.com/attributions">CARTO</a>',
+    browserView=True,
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Geocoding note
+
+If you use `latLong()` or provide map nodes without latitude and longitude, geocoding may be performed through Nominatim using `geopy`.
+
+Please respect Nominatim usage policies and avoid sending large volumes of requests.
+
+For larger datasets, it is recommended to prepare latitude and longitude values in advance.
+
+Example:
+
+```python
+from visnetmap import latLong
+
+lat, lon, address = latLong("Joensuu, Finland")
+
+print(lat, lon, address)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Helper: convert images to Base64
+
+For image nodes in `visnet()`, local images can be converted to Base64 strings.
+
+```python
+from visnetmap import base64_from_loc, visnet
+
+image_data = base64_from_loc("logo.png")
+
+nodes = [
+    {
+        "id": "logo",
+        "label": "Logo node",
+        "shape": "image",
+        "image": image_data,
+        "size": 30,
+    }
+]
+
+visnet(nodes=nodes, edges=[], network_title="Image Node Demo", browserView=True)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common problems
+
+### NetworkX edge weight error
+
+If an edge weight is written as a string:
+
+```python
+("B", "C", "2")
+```
+
+change it to a number:
+
+```python
+("B", "C", 2)
+```
+
+Edge widths and weights should be numeric.
+
+---
+
+### Map tiles show `403 Access blocked`
+
+This usually means the selected map tile provider blocked the request.
+
+Possible solutions:
+
+- use a different tile provider,
+- avoid heavy automated tile loading,
+- use a valid tile service for public applications,
+- use CARTO or another provider instead of direct OpenStreetMap volunteer tiles.
+
+---
+
+### Generated HTML does not show correctly offline
+
+The generated HTML may load JavaScript and CSS from external CDNs, such as:
+
+- vis-network
+- Leaflet
+- Leaflet.markercluster
+- map tile providers
+
+An internet connection may be required when opening the HTML file.
