Geopandas 图被拉伸

Question

I'm trying to plot a state of Germany with geopandas. Unfortunately the plot is a bit streched.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import geopandas as gpd

shapes = gpd.read_file('shapes.shp')
shapes.plot(figsize=(20,20), color='white', edgecolor='black')

If I execute the code above, I'll receive the following plot. But if you compare the shape of the plot to the real shape of the state as displayed below, then this plot is a bit streched.

I tried to adjust the axes and the figsize, but I didn't work.

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

As gboffi mentioned the projection is not right. So i changed it to EPSG:3857.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import geopandas as gpd

shapes = gpd.read_file('shapes.shp').to_crs(epsg=3857)
fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(15,15))
shapes.plot(ax=axs, color='white', edgecolor='black')
