Setting Background color to transparent in Plotly plots
PythonPlotlyTransparencyPlotly PythonPython Problem Overview
My python code creates a plotly Bar plot but the background is white in color i want to change it into transparent color is that doable
My Code:
import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.graph_objs import *
py.sign_in('username', 'api_key')
data = Data([
Bar(
x=['Sivaranjani S', 'Vijayalakshmi C', 'Rajeshwari S', 'Shanthi Priscilla', 'Pandiyaraj G', 'Kamatchi S', 'MohanaPriya', 'Madhumitha G', 'Franklin Alphones Raj J', 'Akfaris Almaas', 'Biswajit Champati', 'Priya R', 'Rekha Rajasekaran', 'Sarath Kumar B', 'Jegan L', 'Karthick A', 'Mahalakshmi S', 'Ragunathan V', 'Anu S', 'Ramkumar KS', 'Uthra R'],
y=[1640, 1394, 1390, 1313, 2166, 1521, 1078, 1543, 780, 1202, 1505, 2028, 2032, 1769, 1238, 1491, 1477, 1329, 2038, 1339, 1458],
text=['Scuti', 'Scuti', 'Cygni', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scorpii', 'Pollux', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scorpii', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Cygni', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Pollux'])])
plot_url = py.plot(data)
The graph looks like this
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
For a fully transparent plot, make sure to specify both the paper bgcolor and the plot's:
import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.graph_objs import *
py.sign_in('', '')
data = Data([
Bar(
x=['Sivaranjani S', 'Vijayalakshmi C', 'Rajeshwari S', 'Shanthi Priscilla', 'Pandiyaraj G', 'Kamatchi S', 'MohanaPriya', 'Madhumitha G', 'Franklin Alphones Raj J', 'Akfaris Almaas', 'Biswajit Champati', 'Priya R', 'Rekha Rajasekaran', 'Sarath Kumar B', 'Jegan L', 'Karthick A', 'Mahalakshmi S', 'Ragunathan V', 'Anu S', 'Ramkumar KS', 'Uthra R'],
y=[1640, 1394, 1390, 1313, 2166, 1521, 1078, 1543, 780, 1202, 1505, 2028, 2032, 1769, 1238, 1491, 1477, 1329, 2038, 1339, 1458],
text=['Scuti', 'Scuti', 'Cygni', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scorpii', 'Pollux', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scorpii', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Cygni', 'Scorpii', 'Scuti', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Scuti', 'Pollux', 'Pollux']
)
])
layout = Layout(
paper_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)',
plot_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)'
)
fig = Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
plot_url = py.plot(fig, filename='transparent-background')
Solution 2 - Python
You can use the a Layout to change its colours with the parameters bgcolour
and opacity
set to yours desires. You could do something like:
data = Data([Bar(... The same you already have...)])
layout = Layout(
title='Your Title',
(xaxis, yaxis, WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SET)
paper_bgcolor='rgb(233,233,233)', # set the background colour
)
fig = Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
py.plot(fig)
