I'm plotting using plotly and plotly express a line graph, which is updated using fig.update_figure. However every updated parameter in update_figure results in the plot being plotted as a graphical output, so I end up having four intermediate plots and final one. How can I suppress outputs from fig.update_figue? I thought the overwrite parameter would help but obviously not. Here's how the outputs look like
Here is the actual code:
import plotly
fig_Fahmy = plotly.express.line(
data_melt3,
x="Heat data",
y="Flow data",
color="variable",
height=800,
width=1300,
title="Fahmy plot of heat flow ~ cumulative heat",
labels={
"Flow data": "Heat flow, W",
"Heat data": "Cumulative heat, J",
"variable": ""
}
)
fig_Fahmy.update_traces(line=dict(width=2))
fig_Fahmy.update_xaxes(
linewidth=1,
linecolor='black',
mirror=True,
ticks='inside',
showline=True,
gridcolor="white",
zerolinecolor="darkgray",
title_font=dict(size=20),
tickfont=dict(size=15),
ticklen=10,
tickwidth=2
)
fig_Fahmy.update_yaxes(
linewidth=1,
linecolor='black',
mirror=True,
ticks='inside',
showline=True,
gridcolor="white",
zerolinecolor="darkgray",
title_font=dict(size=20),
tickfont=dict(size=15),
ticklen=10,
tickwidth=2
)
fig_Fahmy.update_layout(
overwrite=True,
plot_bgcolor="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)",
legend=dict(itemsizing='constant'),
legend_font=dict(size=15),
title_font=dict(size=25)
)
fig_Fahmy.show() if outputs == True else None
It's probably something obvious but I'm kinda new in this.
To supress multiple outputs just overwrite your figure variable and keep the fig_Fahmy.show()
statement at the end of your script.
For example your first update line:
fig_Fahmy = fig_Fahmy.update_traces(line=dict(width=2))
