Hide legend entries in a plotly figure in Python

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:
