Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[3.3.0] - 2018-09-28

Updated

  • Updated Plotly.js to version 1.41.3. Select highlights included below, see the plotly.js CHANGELOG for more information.
  • Do not create or check permissions on the ~/.plotly configuration directory until a configuration write operation is performed (#1195). This change avoids some concurrency problems associated with running many instances of plotly.py simultaneously (#1068).

Added

  • Enable selection by clicking on points via new layout attribute clickmode and flag 'select' (#2944)
  • Added stacked area charts via new attributes stackgroup and stackgaps in scatter traces (#2960)
  • Added barpolar trace type - which replace and augment area traces (#2954)
  • Added polar.hole layout parameter to punch hole at the middle of polar subplot offsetting the start of the radial range (#2977, #2996)
  • Figures may now be easily converted to and from JSON using the new to_json, from_json, read_json, and write_json functions in the plotly.io package (#1188)
  • Figures and graph objects now support deepcopy and pickle operations (#1191)
  • The location of the "~/.plotly" settings directory may now be customized using the PLOTLY_DIR environment variable (#1195)
  • Added optional scaleratio argument to the create_quiver figure factory. When specified, the axes are restricted to this ratio and the quiver arrows are computed to have consistent lengths across angles. (#1197)

Fixed

  • Replace use of pkg_resources.resource_string with pkgutil.get_data to improve compatibility with cx_Freeze (#1201)
  • An exception is no longer raised when an optional dependency raises an exception on import. The exception is logged and plotly.py continues as if the dependency were not installed (#1192)
  • Fixed invalid dendrogram axis labels when the points being clustered contain duplicate values (#1186)
  • Added missing LICENSE.txt file to PyPI source distribution (#765)

JupyterLab Versions

For use with JupyterLab, the following versions of the following packages must be installed:

[3.2.1] - 2018-09-14

This is a patch release that fixes a few bugs and reintroduces a few version 2 features that were not supported in version 3.

The bundled version of plotly.js remains at 1.40.1

JupyterLab Versions

For use with JupyterLab, the following versions of the following packages must be installed:

Added

  • An optional skip_invalid argument has been added to the Figure and FigureWidget constructors. By default, skip_invalid is False and invalid figure properties will result in an exception (this is identical to the previous behavior). When skip_invalid is set to True, invalid properties will instead be silently ignored. This argument replaces the _raise argument that was available in version 2, and makes it possible to import figure definitions from different plotly versions, where incompatible properties are ignored rather than causing an exception.
  • A to_ordered_dict method has been added to the Figure and FigureWidget classes. This method returns a representation of the figure as a nested structure of OrdererdDict and list instances where the keys in each OrderedDict are sorted alphabetically. This method replaces the get_ordered method that was available in version 2, and makes it possible to traverse the nested structure of a figure in a deterministic order.

Fixed

[3.2.0] - 2018-09-05

This release introduces the long-anticipated ability to programmatically export figures as high quality static images in both raster and vector formats.

JupyterLab Versions (Python 3.5+)

For use with JupyterLab, the following versions of the following packages must be installed:

Added

  • plotly.js version 1.40.1, which introduces the following features:
  • Support for offline static image export with the to_image and write_image functions in the new plotly.io package (#1120).
    • Note: Image export requires the plotly orca command line utility and the psutil Python package.
  • New documentation sections covering Static Image Export and Orca Management
  • Support for displaying FigureWidget instances in static contexts (e.g. nbviewer) just like the built-in ipywidgets (#1117)
  • Full integration of the Cividis colorscale (#883)
  • conda packaging
    • From here forward, new versions of plotly.py will be published to the plotly anaconda channel on the same day they are published to PyPI. (72ad0e4)
    • The README now includes conda installation instructions alongside the pip instructions.
    • In addition to the existing installation approaches, orca is now also available as a conda package from the plotly anaconda channel.

Updated

  • Show traces at the top of the Gantt chart's colorbar (#1110)
  • Significantly improved validation performance for numeric pandas Series objects (#1149)
  • Specialize auto-generated docstrings for Python syntax
  • More robust and specific logic for retrying requests to the plot.ly cloud service (#1146)
  • Support basic authentication when using the streaming API behind a proxy server (#1133)

Fixed

  • Validators for dash properties (e.g. scatter.line.dash) incorrectly rejected dash length lists (#1136)
  • Annotated heatmap error when custom colorscale was specified (#1151)
  • Incorrect deprecation warning for deprecated plotly.graph_objs.Annotations class (#1138)
  • Harmless JavaScript console error when opening an html file produced by plotly.offline.plot (#1152)

[3.1.1] - 2018-08-10

This release is a minor bug-fix update to version 3.1.0

JupyterLab Versions

For use with JupyterLab, the following versions of the following packages must be installed:

Updated

  • Updated plotly.js to version 1.39.4.

Fixed

[3.1.0] - 2018-07-20

JupyterLab Versions

For use with JupyterLab, the following versions of the following packages must be installed. See README.md for instructions.

Updated

Added

  • Added 3D streamtube traces plotly/plotly.js#2658
  • Added support for on-graph text in scattergl traces
  • Added gridshape attribute to polar subplots with values 'circular' (the default) and 'linear' (to draw polygon grids) plotly/plotly.js#2739

[3.0.2] - 2018-07-17

This is a minor bug-fix release to 3.0.0

JupyterLab plotlywidget version: 0.1.1

Plotly.js version: 1.38.3

Fixed

  • Several errors related to numbered subplot labels (e.g. xaxis2, polar3, etc.) GH1057
  • Error where the v property was ignored in cone traces GH1060
  • Assorted performance improvements when constructing graph objects GH1061

[3.0.1] - 2018-07-17 [YANKED]

Note: This release's installation was broken. It has been removed from PyPI

[3.0.0] - 2018-07-05

This is a major version with many exciting updates. See the Introducing plotly.py 3.0.0 post for more information.

JupyterLab plotlywidget version: 0.1.1

Plotly.js version: 1.38.3

Added

  • Full Jupyter ipywidgets integration with the new graph_objs.FigureWidget class
  • FigureWidget figures can be updated interactively using property assignment syntax
  • The full trace and layout API is generated from the plotly schema to provide a great experience for interactive use in the notebook
  • Support for setting array properties as numpy arrays. When numpy arrays are used, ipywidgets binary serialization protocol is used to avoid converting these to JSON strings.
  • Context manager API for animation. Run help(go.Figure().batch_animate) for the full doc string.
  • Perform automatic retries when communicating with plot.ly services. This introduces a new required dependency on the retrying library.
  • Improved data validation covering the full API with clear, informative error messages. This means that incorrect properties and/or values now always raise a ValueError with a description of the error, the invalid property, and the available properties on the level that it was placed in the graph object. Eg. go.Scatter(foo=123) raises a validation error. See https://plot.ly/python/reference/ for a reference to all valid properties and values in the Python API.
  • Error message for plotly.figure_factory.create_choropleth is now helpful to Anaconda users who do not have the correct modules installed for the County Choropleth figure factory.

import IPython.display
from IPython.display import display, HTML
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot
init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

figure_or_data = {'data': [{'x': [1, 2], 'y': [0, 1]}],
                  'layout': {'xaxis': {'range': [0, 3], 'autorange': False},
                             'yaxis': {'range': [0, 20], 'autorange': False},
                  'title': 'First Title'},
                  'frames': [{'data': [{'x': [1, 2], 'y': [5, 7]}]},
                             {'data': [{'x': [-1, 3], 'y': [3, 9]}]},
                             {'data': [{'x': [2, 2.6], 'y': [7, 5]}]},
                             {'data': [{'x': [1.5, 3], 'y': [7.5, 4]}]},
                             {'data': [{'x': [1, 2], 'y': [0, 1]}],
                              'layout': {'title': 'End Title'}}]}
iplot(figure_or_data)

More examples can be found at https://plot.ly/python/animations/.

  • animations now work in online mode: use plotly.plotly.create_animations and plotly.plotly.icreate_animations which animate a figure with the frames argument. Here is a simple example:
import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.grid_objs import Grid, Column

column_1 = Column([0.5], 'x')
column_2 = Column([0.5], 'y')
column_3 = Column([1.5], 'x2')
column_4 = Column([1.5], 'y2')

grid = Grid([column_1, column_2, column_3, column_4])
py.grid_ops.upload(grid, 'ping_pong_grid', auto_open=False)

# create figure
figure = {
    'data': [
        {
            'xsrc': grid.get_column_reference('x'),
            'ysrc': grid.get_column_reference('y'),
            'mode': 'markers',
        }
    ],
    'layout': {'title': 'Ping Pong Animation',
               'xaxis': {'range': [0, 2], 'autorange': False},
               'yaxis': {'range': [0, 2], 'autorange': False},
               'updatemenus': [{
                   'buttons': [
                       {'args': [None],
                        'label': u'Play',
                        'method': u'animate'}
               ],
               'pad': {'r': 10, 't': 87},
               'showactive': False,
               'type': 'buttons'
                }]},
    'frames': [
        {
            'data': [
                {
                    'xsrc': grid.get_column_reference('x2'),
                    'ysrc': grid.get_column_reference('y2'),
                    'mode': 'markers',
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            'data': [
                {
                    'xsrc': grid.get_column_reference('x'),
                    'ysrc': grid.get_column_reference('y'),
                    'mode': 'markers',
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

py.create_animations(figure, 'ping_pong')

Fixed

  • Trisurf now uses correct Plotly Colorscales when called
  • Fixed a bug in the format of unique-identifiers in columns of grids that are uploaded to plotly via plotly.plotly.upload. See plotly#599 for details. In particular, creating plots that are based off of plotly grids is no longer broken. Here is an example:
import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.grid_objs import Grid, Column

c1 = Column([6, 6, 6, 5], 'column 1')
c2 = Column(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], 'column 2')
g = Grid([c1, c2])

# Upload the grid
py.grid_ops.upload(g, 'my-grid', auto_open=False)

# Make a graph that with data that is referenced from that grid
trace = Scatter(xsrc=g[0], ysrc=g[1])
url = py.plot([trace], filename='my-plot')

Then, whenever you update the data in 'my-grid', the associated plot will update too. See https://plot.ly/python/data-api for more details on usage and examples.

[1.12.9] - 2016-08-22

Fixed

  • the colorbar in .create_trisurf now displays properly in offline mode.

  • Updated plotly.min.js so the offline mode is using plotly.js v1.13.0
    • Fix Plotly.toImage and Plotly.downloadImage bug specific to Chrome 51 on OSX
    • Beta version of the scattermapbox trace type - which allows users to create mapbox-gl maps using the plotly.js API. Note that scattermapbox is only available through custom bundling in this release.
    • See the plotly.js CHANGELOG for additional additions and updates.

Added

  • The FigureFactory can now create gantt charts with .create_gantt. Check it out with:
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_gantt)
  • Ability to download images in offline mode. By providing an extra keyword image to the existing plot calls, you can now download the images of the plots you make in offline mode.

Fixed

  • Fixed check for the height parameter passed to _plot_html, and now sets the correct link text for plots generated in offline mode.

[1.12.1] - 2016-06-19

Added

  • The FigureFactory can now create violin plots with .create_violin. Check it out with:
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_violin)

[1.12.0] - 2016-06-06

Added

  • Added ability to enable/disable SSL certificate verification for streaming. Disabling SSL certification verification requires Python v2.7.9 / v3.4.3 (or above). This feature can be toggled via the plotly_ssl_verification configuration setting.

[1.11.0] - 2016-05-27

Updated

  • Changed the default option for create_distplot in the figure factory from probability to probability density and also added the histnorm parameter to allow the user to choose between the two options. Note: This is a backwards incompatible change.

  • Updated plotly.min.js so the offline mode is using plotly.js v1.12.0

    • Light position is now configurable in surface traces
    • surface and mesh3d lighting attributes are now accompanied with comprehensive descriptions

  • Allowed create_scatterplotmatrix and create_trisurf to use divergent and categorical colormaps. The parameter palette has been replaced by colormap and use_palette has been removed. In create_scatterplotmatrix, users can now:

    • Input a list of different color types (hex, tuple, rgb) to colormap to map colors divergently
    • Use the same list to categorically group the items in the index column
    • Pass a singlton color type to colormap to color all the data with one color
    • Input a dictionary to colormap to map index values to a specific color
    • 'cat' and 'seq' are valid options for colormap_type, which specify the type of colormap being used

  • In create_trisurf, the parameter dist_func has been replaced by color_func. Users can now:

    • Input a list of different color types (hex, tuple, rgb) to colormap to map colors divergently
    • Input a list|array of hex and rgb colors to color_func to assign each simplex to a color

Added

  • Added the option to load plotly.js from a CDN by setting the parameter connected=True in the init_notebook_mode() function call
  • The FigureFactory can now create trisurf plots with .create_trisurf. Check it out with:
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_trisurf)

[1.10.0] - 2016-05-19

Fixed

  • Version 1.9.13 fixed an issue in offline mode where if you ran init_notebook_mode more than once the function would skip importing (because it saw that it had already imported the library) but then accidentally clear plotly.js from the DOM. This meant that if you ran init_notebook_mode more than once, your graphs would not appear when you refreshed the page. Version 1.9.13 solved this issue by injecting plotly.js with every iplot call. While this works, it also injects the library excessively, causing notebooks to have multiple versions of plotly.js inline in the DOM, potentially making notebooks with many iplot calls very large. Version 1.10.0 brings back the requirement to call init_notebook_mode before making an iplot call. It makes init_notebook_mode idempotent: you can call it multiple times without worrying about losing your plots on refresh.

[1.9.13] - 2016-05-19

Fixed

  • Fixed issue in offline mode related to the inability to reload plotly.js on page refresh and extra init_notebook_mode calls.

[1.9.12] - 2016-05-16

Added

  • SSL support for streaming.

[1.9.11] - 2016-05-02

Added

  • The FigureFactory can now create scatter plot matrices with .create_scatterplotmatrix. Check it out with:
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_scatterplotmatrix)

[1.9.10] - 2016-04-27

Updated

  • Updated plotly.min.js so the offline mode is using plotly.js v1.10.0
    • Added beta versions of two new 2D WebGL trace types: heatmapgl, contourgl
    • Added fills for scatterternary traces
    • Added configurable shapes layer positioning with the shape attribute: layer

[1.9.9] - 2016-04-15

Fixed

  • Fixed require is not defined issue when plotting offline outside of Ipython Notebooks.

[1.9.8] - 2016-04-14

Fixed

  • Error no longer results from a "Run All" cells when working in a Jupyter Notebook.

Updated

  • Updated plotly.min.js so offline is using plotly.js v1.9.0
    • Added Ternary plots with support for scatter traces (trace type scatterternary, currently only available in offline mode)
    • For comprehensive update list see the plotly.js CHANGELOG

[1.9.7] - 2016-04-04

Fixed

  • Offline mode will no longer delete the Jupyter Notebook's require, requirejs, and define variables.

Updated

  • Updated plotly.min.js so offline is using plotly.js v1.8.0
    • Added range selector functionality for cartesian plots
    • Added range slider functionality for scatter traces
    • Added custom surface color functionality
    • Added ability to subplot multiple graph types (SVG cartesian, 3D, maps, pie charts)
    • For comprehensive update list see the plotly.js CHANGELOG

[1.9.6] - 2016-02-18

Updated

  • Updated plotly.min.js so offline is using plotly.js v1.5.2

[1.9.5] - 2016-01-17

Added

  • Offline matplotlib to Plotly figure conversion. Use offline.plot_mpl to convert and plot a matplotlib figure as a Plotly figure independently of IPython/Jupyter notebooks or use offline.iplot_mpl to convert and plot inside of IPython/Jupyter notebooks. Additionally, use offline.enable_mpl_offline to convert and plot all matplotlib figures as plotly figures inside an IPython/Jupyter notebook. See examples below:

An example independent of IPython/Jupyter notebooks:

from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode, plot_mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

init_notebook_mode()

fig = plt.figure()
x = [10, 15, 20]
y = [100, 150, 200]
plt.plot(x, y, "o")

plot_mpl(fig)

An example inside of an IPython/Jupyter notebook:

from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode, iplot_mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

init_notebook_mode()

fig = plt.figure()
x = [10, 15, 20]
y = [100, 150, 200]
plt.plot(x, y, "o")

iplot_mpl(fig)

An example of enabling all matplotlib figures to be converted to Plotly figures inside of an IPython/Jupyter notebook:

from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode, enable_mpl_offline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

init_notebook_mode()
enable_mpl_offline()

fig = plt.figure()
x = [10, 15, 20, 25, 30]
y = [100, 250, 200, 150, 300]
plt.plot(x, y, "o")
fig

[1.9.4] - 2016-01-11

Added

  • Offline plotting now works outside of the IPython/Jupyter notebook. Here's an example:
from plotly.offline import plot
from plotly.graph_objs import Scatter

plot([Scatter(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[3, 1, 6])])

This command works entirely locally. It writes to a local HTML file with the necessary plotly.js code to render the graph. Your browser will open the file after you make the call.

The call signature is very similar to plotly.offline.iplot and plotly.plotly.plot and plotly.plotly.iplot, so you can basically use these commands interchangeably.

If you want to publish your graphs to the web, use plotly.plotly.plot, as in:

import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.graph_objs import Scatter

py.plot([Scatter(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[5, 1, 6])])

This will upload the graph to your online plotly account.

[1.9.3] - 2015-12-08

Added

  • Check for no_proxy when determining if the streaming request should pass through a proxy in the chunked_requests submodule. Example: no_proxy='my_stream_url' and http_proxy=my.proxy.ip:1234, then my_stream_url will not get proxied. Previously it would.

[1.9.2] - 2015-11-30

Bug Fix: Previously, the "Export to plot.ly" link on offline charts would export your figures to the public plotly cloud, even if your config_file (set with plotly.tools.set_config_file to the file ~/.plotly/.config) set plotly_domain to a plotly enterprise URL like https://plotly.acme.com.

This is now fixed. Your graphs will be exported to your plotly_domain if it is set.

[1.9.1] - 2015-11-26

Added

  • The FigureFactory can now create annotated heatmaps with .create_annotated_heatmap. Check it out with:
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_annotated_heatmap)
  • The FigureFactory can now create tables with .create_table.
import plotly.tools as tls
help(tls.FigureFactory.create_table)

[1.9.0] - 2015-11-15

  • Previously, using plotly offline required a paid license. No more: plotly.js is now shipped inside this package to allow unlimited free use of plotly inside the ipython notebook environment. The plotly.js library that is included in this package is free, open source, and maintained independently on GitHub at https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js.
  • The plotly.js bundle that is required for offline use is no longer downloaded and installed independently from this package: plotly.offline.download_plotlyjs is deprecated.
  • New versions of plotly.js will be tested and incorporated into this package as new versioned pip releases; plotly.js is not automatically kept in sync with this package.

[1.8.12] - 2015-11-02

  • Big data warning mentions plotly.graph_objs.Scattergl as possible solution.

[1.8.9] - 2015-10-11

[1.8.8] - 2015-10-05

  • Sometimes creating a graph with a private share-key doesn't work - the graph is private, but not accessible with the share key. Now we check to see if it didn't work, and re-try a few times until it does.

[1.8.7] - 2015-10-01

Added

  • The FigureFactory can now create dendrogram plots with .create_dendrogram.

[1.8.6] - 2015-09-28

Fixed

  • Saving "world_readable" to your config file via plotly.tools.set_config actually works.

Added

  • You can also save auto_open and sharing to the config file so that you can forget these keyword argument in py.iplot and py.plot.

[1.8.5] - 2015-09-29

Fixed

  • Fixed validation errors (validate=False workaround no longer required)

Added

  • Auto-sync API request on import to get the latest schema from Plotly
  • .-access for nested attributes in plotly graph objects
  • General .help() method for plotly graph objects
  • Specific attribute .help(<attribute>) also included

Removed

  • No more is streamable, streaming validation.

[1.8.3] - 2015-08-14

Fixed

  • Fixed typos in plot and iplot documentations

[1.8.2] - 2015-08-11

Added

  • CHANGELOG
  • sharing keyword argument for plotly.plotly.plot and plotly.plotly.iplot with options 'public' | 'private' | 'secret' to control the privacy of the charts. Depreciates world_readable

Changed

  • If the response from plot or iplot contains an error message, raise an exception

Removed

  • height and width are no longer accepted in iplot. Just stick them into your figure's layout instead, it'll be more consistent when you view it outside of the IPython notebook environment. So, instead of this:

    py.iplot([{'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [3, 1, 5]}], height=800)

    do this:

    py.iplot({
  'data': [{'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [3, 1, 5]}],
  'layout': {'height': 800}
})

Fixed

  • The height of the graph in iplot respects the figure's height in layout
