When using matplotlib, error bars come in as bizarre looking scatter plots right now. This should be fixed in future releases.

@theengineear any thoughts on this?

when I create a legend

lg = ax.legend(loc = 'center left', bbox_to_anchor = (0, 0.8), fontsize=16)
lg.draw_frame(False)

I experience the following issue when importing plotly on Python 3 (3.3.0 on Windows, 3.4.0 on Linux). I haven't checked whether the error occurs on Python 2

plotly/graph_objs/graph_objs.py (in 4ed359e and maybe before) at lines 42ff cause a type error in the json module's loads function:

INFO = json.loads(resource_string('plotly',
                                  'graph_reference/graph_objs_meta.json')
                  object_pairs_hook=collections.OrderedDict)

Here is a list of matplotlylib imperfections I noticed while helping Randal Olson convert one of his matplotlib figure to plotly.

For more, refer to this notebook.

So, running

import plotly.plotly as py
py.plot_mpl(mpl_fig)

• Config file
• Style config
• Graph meta docs (https://github.com/plotly/graph_reference/blob/master/graph_objs_meta.json) (Assigned to @chriddyp)
• Figure(subplots=subplots) --> tools.get_subplots(rows=2, ...)
• Auto-generate 'see help(Obj)' lines in doc from MetaDict
• Default non-specified types to 'type': 'scatter' for Data instantiation.
• Figure out if/how to validate values for each key... where to store this info, etc.
• Add check and formatting for 'default' options with keys for doctrings in DictMeta

ylabel('R$_{xx,ac}$')
worked in matplotlib, didn't work in plotly

is there any infrastructure to save and re-use layouts? couple things that would be nice

• change my default layout

• pass layout as argument to mpl_to_plotly, iplot_mpl, plot_mpl

• have style files (like matplotlib.style)

  from plotly import style
  with style.context('ieeetrans'):
  py.iplot(....)

Hi,

I'm using this code to create a double axis plot:

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA

x = arange(0,10)
y1 = rand(10)
y2 = rand(10)

fig = figure(figsize=(6,5))

ax1 = host_subplot(111, axes_class=AA.Axes)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
plt.subplots_adjust(right=1)

ax1.plot(x, y1,'.-')
ax2.plot(x, y2,'r.-')

xlabel('x')

ax1.set_ylabel('y1', color='b')
ax2.set_ylabel('y2', color='r')

title('Double axis plot')
fig.tight_layout()

Hi - there are some broken links in the following files

It looks like the repositories have moved - not sure what the correct ones should be.

Sorry, the examples I was going to show were giving errors, but I think it's because of calls to ax.imshow() and contourf() in matplotlib rather than just the colorbars per-se.

In my case I want that axis, axis lines, ticks and tick texts are disabled also after conversion from matplotlib to plotly i.e in graphs visible in plotly web pages.

Although it is very easy way to modify graphs from plotly GUI it unfortunately requires manual work that I try to avoid. I was just wandering is there any way to make it already when creating graphs in python&matplotlib. I tried to use e.g.

ax13.set_axis_off() -> this did not make any change in plotly. It worked well in matplotlib where it disabled axis, spines and tick texts.

ax13.spines["bottom"].set_color('none')
ax13.spines["top"].set_color('none')
ax13.spines["left"].set_color('none')
ax13.spines["right"].set_color('none')

ax13.tick_params.set_visible(False)
ax13.tick_params(colors='none')

... instead of mere dictionaries?

Currently, in plotly.py

py.Stream.write(data) assumes that data is of the 'scatter' type:

https://github.com/plotly/python-api/blob/master/plotly/plotly/plotly.py#L435

So, to stream a heatmap trace object for example, we must add 'type':'heatmap' in the data dictionary argument. Example (the last cell of):

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/etpinard/plotly-misc-nbs/blob/etienne/mtl_do/stream-test.ipynb

Why not have py.Stream.write(obj) where obj is a trace object (e.g. Scatter, Bar, Heatmap) and infer which 'type' value is associated with each of them?

Return stream status codes and API status codes.

i noticed that if i embed a slightly different URL then it makes for very convenient in-notebook plot editing. this is a really sweet and seamless way to combine plotly's ease of use GUI editing with the notebook.

thoughts?

I just noticed while making a few modifications to section 0 of the Python API User Guide that

fig['data'].update(some_dict)

does not work as it once did e.g. In [31] in this old NB.

I made a more specific NB explaining this issue here.

In brief, the content of section 0 of the User Guide is inconsistent with the latest version of our Python API Library.

is there a way to delete a plotly plot using the python api?

would be nice to have something equivalent to mpl's axis('equal') command to force a square aspect ratio.

I'm running an ipython notebook that sets the default matplotlib background plot color as gray. The look fine; however, when I do:

py.iplot_mpl(fig)

The background color returns to white. Furthermore, if I explicitly pass a background color:

py.iplot_mpl(fig, plot_bgcolor='rgb(128,0,0)')

It is still white. Is py.iplot_mpl not passing the background color attribute through?

As I am using this API to create my plots, I am posting the issue in this repository.

Until quite recently my plot did fit to whatever size the iframe was, but now the plot stands out. Here an example http://theansweris27.com/lap-times-for-the-2014-f1-monaco-grand-prix/

Regards.

trying to run plotly on a barebones, pip-less python distribution (the Arduino Yun) and ran into an ImportError for pkg_resources in graph_objs. Should it be an official setup.py dependency?

from #46

The is_bar() function in mpltools appears to be checking whether a patch is a bar by checking the minimum y value to see if it's zero. I typically create stacked bars in matplotlib by changing the named parameter, "bottom" to be non-zero. However, the is_bar() check wipes out all patches for which the minimum y value is not zero. I'd be happy to submit some sample code that breaks when rendering using the iplot_mpl() function from plotly if necessary.

It seems to be impossible to have both Latex-formatted text and regular text appear in a title.

See the first plot in this notebook for an example of the problem:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/ketch/8554686

i just discovered plotly and my first thought was to have a matplotlib->plotly converter. this would allow people which have infrastructure in matplotlib use plotly with minimal effort.

for example, a project i work on (www.scikit-rf.org) has some canned plotting methods. it would be nice to re-use all of the existing functionality, but create a plotly plot instead of a matplotlib plot.

the simplest thing i could think of is to start with a line-plot and pull all the data (xy-data, labels, formating, etc) using matplotlib api, and then create the plotly plot.

i am thinking about this in respect to ipython notebooks.

any thoughts on this?

Hello.

When I try this code I get an error in rendering Cell number 11:

TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

I guess it's because I'm running Python 3.4. Since Python 3 there is necessary to treat bytes and unicodes differently.

Not sure how this happened.

If it helps, here's my code:

fig = figure(figsize=(6,6))
for m in arange(0,len(data_IV_vs_T_vs_backgate)): 
    data = data_IV_vs_T_vs_backgate[m]
    [Rmatup, Vmatup, Imatup, Rmatdown, Vmatdown, Imatdown, T, B] = data
    ax = subplot(1,len(data_IV_vs_T_vs_backgate)+1,m+1)
    colormap = cm.jet
    colormap.set_gamma(1)
    color_cycle = [colormap(i) for i in np.linspace(0, 0.9, len(Rmatup))]
    ax.set_color_cycle(color_cycle)
    for (t,I,R) in zip(T, Imatup, Rmatup):
        label = 'T = ' + str(round(t*1e3)) + ' mK'
        plot(I,R,label=label)
    xlabel('$I_{dc} (A)$')
    ylabel('$R_{xx,ac} (\Omega)$')
    title(measnames[m])
width = 1000    # plot width in px
height = 500 # plot height in px
py.iplot_mpl(fig,filename='/superconductivity_XVII_LSM4_triton2/Rxxac_vs_Idc_vs_T_vs_Vbg', width=width, height=height)

The iplot function produces an HTML representation of a plotly plot for usage in the IPython notebook. IPython also supports converting notebooks to LaTeX/PDF documents through IPython.nbconvert. To get this to work, iplot would have to also display a static image format of the plot. It would be as simply as a call to display(Image(raw_image_data)) to include that in the notebook.

We (IPython dev team) is super excited about plotly and are more than willing to answer questions, etc. about the IPython integration.

Hi,

I'm integrating plotly into a personal package we have called pyuvvis. Plotly is great by the way. I noticed that if I import plotly, then import the plotly portion of my package, everything works fine. EG:

 import plotly
 from pyuvvis.plotting.plotlywrapper import figure

from pyuvvis.plotting.plotlywrapper import figure

would be sweet to have a function like this
http://mpld3.github.io/modules/API.html#mpld3.enable_notebook
which implicitly converts all mpl-plots to plotly.

perhaps the plotly-plots could be named based on the plot's title, if one exists, and other options (like private/public-ness) where arguments to enable_notebook()

I'm trying to make executable / standalone programs using Python. I've used Qt designer to design the GUI, and then used PyQT (pyuic4) to convert the .UI files into .PY files which I can edit and build my Python scripts / program within.

Finally, once the program is built, I use PyInstaller to compile them into standalone executable files on Windows. Unfortunately, any graphs plotted using the Plot.ly module fail to work, but matplotlib graphs still do work. Any ideas?

Here's an example which you can see works as .PY file, but if you compile using PyInstaller will not:

Over here you can see the exact program I'm developing in Python where my problem is occurring:

Any ideas?

Hi,
Nice library!

I am going to 'like' you on facebook, however the facebook link is wrong and I can't access the plot.ly page on facebook neither.

Hello,

I'd like to ask if there are plans to integrate plotly with pandas, similiar to ggplot style. Or is it impossible without changing "philisophy" of input?

Thank you

I found a recent bug which was hard for me to trace. When I use the world_readable=False keyword in iplot_mpl(), I get a timeout. Not going to post the plot call because it uses custom libraries. Do you guys also get this timeout in general when doing

iplot_mpl(fig, world_readable=False)

When I try to install plotly using pip in Windows 7 I get some sort of encoding error.

I am using Anaconda with Python 3 as my main Python distribution. I had no problem installing plotly in Fedora with the same Anaconda configuration.

See

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/etpinard/plotly-misc-nbs/blob/etienne/matplotlylib/annotations-test.ipynb#2.-Long-annotations-and-margins

mpl modifies the figure's margins when one long annotation is placed on a figure, plotly does not.

How should we handle this?

Strip style is misbehaving in Python3 because this now equates to True:

hasattr('this', '__iter__')

I'm running a Python script on an Amazon EC2 Linux Instance which uses the Python 2.6.9 interpreter. I installed plotly on the server, but when I try to import it I get the following error:
