Carpet Plot - Plotly Py

Set X and Y Coordinates

To set the x and y coordinates use x and y attributes. If x coordinate values are omitted a cheater plot will be created. The plot below has a y array specified but requires a and b parameter values before an axis may be plotted.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    y = [2, 3.5, 4, 3, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10]
))

fig.show()

Add Parameter Values

To save parameter values use the a and b attributes.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    a = [4, 4, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6],
    b = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3],
    y = [2, 3.5, 4, 3, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10]
))

fig.show()

Add A and B axis

Use aaxis or baxis list to make changes to the axes. For a more detailed list of attributes refer to R reference.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    a = [4, 4, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6],
    b = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3],
    y = [2, 3.5, 4, 3, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10],
    aaxis = dict(
        tickprefix = 'a = ',
        ticksuffix = 'm',
        smoothing = 1,
        minorgridcount = 9,
    ),
    baxis = dict(
        tickprefix = 'b = ',
        ticksuffix = 'pa',
        smoothing = 1,
        minorgridcount = 9,
    )
))

fig.show()

Alternate input format

The data arrays x, y may either be specified as one-dimensional arrays of data or as arrays of arrays. If one-dimensional, then x, y, a, and b should all be the same length. If x and y are arrays of arrays, then the length of a should match the inner dimension and the length of b the outer dimension. The plot below represents the same plot as those above.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    a = [4, 4.5, 5, 6],
    b = [1, 2, 3],
    y = [[2, 3, 5.5, 8],
         [3.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5],
         [4, 5, 7.5, 10]]
))

fig.show()

Cheater plot layout

The layout of cheater plots is not unique and depends upon the cheaterslope and axis cheatertype parameters. If x is not specified, each row of the x array is constructed based on the formula a + cheaterslope * b, where a and b are either the value or the integer index of a and b respectively, depending on the corresponding axis cheatertype. Although the layout of the axis below is different than the plots above, it represents the same data as the axes above.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    a = [4, 4.5, 5, 6],
    b = [1, 2, 3],
    y = [[2, 3, 5.5, 8],
         [3.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5],
         [4, 5, 7.5, 10]],
    cheaterslope = -5,
    aaxis = dict(cheatertype = 'index'),
    baxis = dict(cheatertype = 'value')
))

fig.show()

Style A and B axis

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(go.Carpet(
    a = [4, 4, 4, 4.5, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6],
    b = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3],
    y = [2, 3.5, 4, 3, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10],
    aaxis = dict(
        tickprefix = 'a = ',
        ticksuffix = 'm',
        smoothing = 1,
        minorgridcount = 9,
        minorgridwidth = 0.6,
        minorgridcolor = 'white',
        gridcolor = 'white',
        color = 'white'
    ),
    baxis = dict(
        ticksuffix = 'Pa',
        smoothing = 1,
        minorgridcount = 9,
        minorgridwidth = 0.6,
        gridcolor = 'white',
        minorgridcolor = 'white',
        color = 'white'
    )
))

fig.update_layout(
    plot_bgcolor = 'black',
    paper_bgcolor = 'black',
    xaxis = dict(
        showgrid = False,
        showticklabels = False
    ),
    yaxis = dict(
        showgrid = False,
        showticklabels = False
    )
)

fig.show()
