Creating a range slider and selector
In plotly, the range slider is a custom range-type input control. It allows selecting a value or a range of values between a specified minimum and maximum range. And the range selector is a tool for selecting ranges to display within the chart. It provides buttons to select pre-configured ranges in the chart. It also provides input boxes where the minimum and maximum dates can be manually input.
Example:
Python3
import plotly.graph_objects as px import plotly.express as go import numpy as np df = go.data.tips() x = df['total_bill'] y = df['day'] plot = px.Figure(data=[px.Scatter( x=x, y=y, mode='lines',) ]) plot.update_layout( xaxis=dict( rangeselector=dict( buttons=list([ dict(count=1, step="day", stepmode="backward"), ]) ), rangeslider=dict( visible=True ), ) ) plot.show() |
Output:
