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.
# 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.
# 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.
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() |
