Step-by-step: How to plot a map with slider to represent time evolution of murder rate in the US using Plotly
This post in based on this other one I posted a few days ago, where I'm exploring a new data set about murder rates in the US. I decided to write a plot detailing how to plot a map of said murder rates in the US, but also adding a slider to explore the different years included in the data set.
