The example was using the 'world' dataset which was removed in geopandas 1.0. Updated to use the geodatasets package for v1.0+ with a fallback to the old approach for older versions.

This keeps the example working across all geopandas versions.

Fixes #4778

Documentation PR

  • I have seen the [doc/README.md](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/main/doc/README.md) file.
  • This change runs in the current version of Plotly on PyPI and targets the doc-prod branch OR it targets the main branch.
  • If this PR modifies the first example in a page or adds a new one, it is a px example if at all possible.
  • Every new/modified example has a descriptive title and motivating sentence or paragraph.
  • Every new/modified example is independently runnable.
  • Every new/modified example is optimized for short line count and focuses on the Plotly/visualization-related aspects of the example rather than the computation required to produce the data being visualized.
  • Meaningful/relatable datasets are used for all new examples instead of randomly-generated data where possible.
  • The random seed is set if using randomly-generated data.
  • New/modified remote datasets are loaded from https://plotly.github.io/datasets and added to https://github.com/plotly/datasets.
  • Large computations are avoided in the new/modified examples in favour of loading remote datasets that represent the output of such computations.
  • Imports are plotly.graph_objects as go, plotly.express as px, and/or plotly.io as pio.
  • Data frames are always called df.
  • fig = <something> is called high up in each new/modified example (either px.<something> or make_subplots or go.Figure).
  • Liberal use is made of fig.add_* and fig.update_* rather than go.Figure(data=..., layout=...).
  • Specific adders and updaters like fig.add_shape and fig.update_xaxes are used instead of big fig.update_layout calls.
  • fig.show() is at the end of each example.
  • plotly.plot() and plotly.iplot() are not used in any example.
  • Named colors are used instead of hex codes wherever possible.
  • Code blocks are marked with &#96;&#96;&#96;python.
