+
+#### Simple Count Hexbin
+
+This page details the use of a [figure factory](/python/figure-factories/). For more examples with Choropleth maps, see [this page](/python/choropleth-maps/).
+
+In order to use mapbox styles that require a mapbox token, set the token with `plotly.express`. You can also use styles that do not require a mapbox token. See more information on [this page](/python/mapbox-layers/).
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())
+df = px.data.carshare()
+
+fig = ff.create_hexbin_mapbox(
+    data_frame=df, lat="centroid_lat", lon="centroid_lon",
+    nx_hexagon=10, opacity=0.9, labels={"color": "Point Count"},
+)
+fig.update_layout(margin=dict(b=0, t=0, l=0, r=0))
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Count Hexbin with Minimum Count and Opacity
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())
+df = px.data.carshare()
+
+fig = ff.create_hexbin_mapbox(
+    data_frame=df, lat="centroid_lat", lon="centroid_lon",
+    nx_hexagon=10, opacity=0.5, labels={"color": "Point Count"},
+    min_count=1,
+)
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Display the Underlying Data
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())
+df = px.data.carshare()
+
+fig = ff.create_hexbin_mapbox(
+    data_frame=df, lat="centroid_lat", lon="centroid_lon",
+    nx_hexagon=10, opacity=0.5, labels={"color": "Point Count"},
+    min_count=1, color_continuous_scale="Viridis",
+    show_original_data=True,
+    original_data_marker=dict(size=4, opacity=0.6, color="deeppink")
+)
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Compute the Mean Value per Hexbin
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+import numpy as np
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())
+df = px.data.carshare()
+
+fig = ff.create_hexbin_mapbox(
+    data_frame=df, lat="centroid_lat", lon="centroid_lon",
+    nx_hexagon=10, opacity=0.9, labels={"color": "Average Peak Hour"},
+    color="peak_hour", agg_func=np.mean, color_continuous_scale="Icefire", range_color=[0,23]
+)
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Compute the Sum Value per Hexbin
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+import numpy as np
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())

+)
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Hexbin with Animation
+
+```python
+import plotly.figure_factory as ff
+import plotly.express as px
+import numpy as np
+
+px.set_mapbox_access_token(open(".mapbox_token").read())
+np.random.seed(0)
+
+N = 500
+n_frames = 12
+lat = np.concatenate([
+    np.random.randn(N) * 0.5 + np.cos(i / n_frames * 2 * np.pi) + 10
+    for i in range(n_frames)
+])
+lon = np.concatenate([
+    np.random.randn(N) * 0.5 + np.sin(i / n_frames * 2 * np.pi)
+    for i in range(n_frames)
+])
+frame = np.concatenate([
+    np.ones(N, int) * i for i in range(n_frames)
+])
