I am new to streamlit
, and I am trying to display a pydeck
layer with columns. I want the column height to be the rain (mm)
column I am providing in a dataframe, but whenever I use get_evelation="rain (mm)"
, I get the following error:
Error: Function calls not allowed in JSON expressions

The function I am using to render my map is the following:
def make_map2(data, lat, lon, zoom):
column_layer = pdk.Layer(
"ColumnLayer",
data=data,
get_position=["lon", "lat"],
get_elevation="rain (mm)",
elevation_scale=20,
radius=2000,
get_fill_color=[180, 0, 200, 140],
pickable=True,
auto_highlight=True,
extruded=True
)
tooltip={'html': 'Location: {location}</br> Date: {date} </br> Rainfall (mm): {rain_mm}</br> Type: {type}'}
r = pdk.Deck(column_layer,
initial_view_state={
"latitude": lat,
"longitude": lon,
"zoom": zoom,
"pitch": 60
},
tooltip=tooltip,
map_provider="mapbox",
map_style='mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v9',
)
map2 = st.write(r)
return map2
The input data have this structure:

This could be as simple as a misspelled argument:
get_evelation="rain (mm)"
should beget_elevation="rain (mm)"
Edit: Irrespective of the misspelled argument name, this error occurs in how pydeck parses string literals. pydeck assumes that
rain (mm)
is a function call, and throws an error. Naming theget_elevation
column without the spaces or parenthesis allows the example to work:See also: https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit/issues/3992
