In this article, we will learn How to hide legend with Plotly Express and Plotly. A legend is an area describing the elements of the graph. In the plotly legend is used to Place a legend on the axes.
Example 1:
In this example, we are positioning legends inside a plot with the help of method fig.update_layout(), by passing the position as x=0.3 and y=0.1.
Python3
# importing packages import plotly.graph_objects as go # using medals_wide dataset fig = go.Figure() # plotting the scatter chart fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], )) # plotting the scatter chart fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[5, 4, 3, 2, 1], )) # position legends inside a plot fig.update_layout( legend=dict( x=0.3, # value must be between 0 to 1. y=.1, # value must be between 0 to 1. traceorder="normal", font=dict( family="sans-serif", size=12, color="black" ), ) ) fig.show() |
Output:
Example 2:
In this example, we are positioning legends inside a plot with the help of method fig.update_layout(), by passing the position as x=0.6 and y=1.
Python3
# importing packages import plotly.graph_objects as go # using medals_wide dataset fig = go.Figure() # plotting the scatter chart fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], )) # plotting the scatter chart fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[5, 4, 3, 2, 1], visible='legendonly')) # position legends inside a plot fig.update_layout( legend=dict( x=0.6, # value must be between 0 to 1. y=1, # value must be between 0 to 1. traceorder="normal", font=dict( family="sans-serif", size=12, color="black" ), ) ) fig.show() |
Output:
Example 3:
In this example, we are positioning legends inside a plot with the help of method fig.update_layout(), by passing the position as x=0.9 and y=1.
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as go fig = go.Figure() fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], mode='markers', marker={'size': 10} )) # plotting the scatter chart fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], y=[5, 4, 3, 2, 1], mode='markers', marker={'size': 100} )) # position legends inside a plot fig.update_layout( legend=dict( x=.9, # value must be between 0 to 1. y=1, # value must be between 0 to 1. traceorder="normal", font=dict( family="sans-serif", size=12, color="black" ), ) ) fig.update_layout(legend={'itemsizing': 'constant'}) fig.show() |
