In this article, we are going to see how to hide legend entries in a plotly figure using Python.
The Fig below shows the plot without hiding the legend entries:
Method 1: Setting showlegend property by the name of the trace
Here we are going to set showlegend property to remove the legend entries in a plotly figure.
Python3
import pandas as pd import plotly.offline as py import plotly.graph_objs as go import cufflinks as cf cf.go_offline() df = pd.DataFrame(data=[[2, 3, 4], [8, 27, 64]], columns=['A', 'B', 'C']) # get figure property fig = df.iplot(kind='scatter', asFigure=True) # set showlegend property by name of trace for trace in fig['data']: if(trace['name'] != 'B'): trace['showlegend'] = False # generate webpage py.plot(fig) |
Output:
Method 2: Using the update function, remove all the entries
Here we are going to use the update function to remove all the entries
Python3
import pandas as pd import plotly.offline as py import plotly.graph_objs as go import cufflinks as cf cf.go_offline() df = pd.DataFrame(data=[[2, 3, 4], [8, 27, 64]], columns=['A', 'B', 'C']) # get figure property fig = df.iplot(kind='scatter', asFigure=True) # set layout_showlegend=False fig.update(layout_showlegend=False) # generate webpage py.plot(fig) |
Output:
