Figurewidget - Plotly Py

The Plotly FigureWidget allows you to add Plotly charts as interactive widgets in Jupyter and other compatible notebooks. To use the FigureWidget, you'll need to install anywidget:

bash

pip install anywidget

Create a Simple FigureWidget

Create an empty FigureWidget and then view it.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

f = go.FigureWidget()
f

Add traces or update the layout and then watch the output above update in real time.

python

f.add_scatter(y=[2, 1, 4, 3]);

python

f.add_bar(y=[1, 4, 3, 2]);

python

f.layout.title = 'Hello FigureWidget'

Update the Data and the Layout

python

# update scatter data
scatter = f.data[0]
scatter.y = [3, 1, 4, 3]

python

# update bar data
bar = f.data[1]
bar.y = [5, 3, 2, 8]

python

f.layout.title.text = 'This is a new title'

Construct a FigureWidget from a Figure graph object

A standard Figure object can be passed to the FigureWidget constructor.

python

import plotly.graph_objects as go

trace = go.Heatmap(z=[[1, 20, 30, 50, 1], [20, 1, 60, 80, 30], [30, 60, 1, -10, 20]],
                   x=['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday'],
                   y=['Morning', 'Afternoon', 'Evening'])
data=[trace]
layout = go.Layout(title=dict(text='Activity Heatmap'))

figure = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)

f2 = go.FigureWidget(figure)
f2
