I have created an animated graph but the transitions are very choppy and oscillate wildly. Is there a particular transition setting or tweak that I can make to rectify this? When I manually slide the slider it’s much smoother and looks much better but is still not perfect. So it seems that I first n…

The following solution worked for me: fig.layout.updatemenus[0].buttons[0].args[1]["frame"]["duration"] = 250 # buttons fig.layout.updatemenus[0].buttons[0].args[1]["transition"]["duration"] = 0 fig.layout.updatemenus[0].buttons[1].args[1]["frame"]["duration"] = 250 fig.layout.updatemenus[0].button…

@jack this was the issue that was blocking convex hull from being used. Fyi: @nicolaskruchten happy to hear your thoughts

It would help to see a much simpler example with like 2 frames and 3 points or something :slight_smile:

What I suspect is happening is that the “matching” polygons in adjacent frames have differing numbers of vertices and/or the “matching” vertices aren’t in the same order, and so the transition engine we have tries to transition between two polygons that aren’t particularly similar to each other, geo…

So if I understand correctly, we have pre-generated frames of voronoi grouping (let’s call them A, B, and C). Then with Plotly you want to generate an animation such that we have A → A’ → B → B’ → C, where A’ and B’ are inferred by Plotly, and it struggles to infer A’ and B’ due to the matching prob…

I think we’re saying the same thing, yes. It’s also a poorly-specified problem if the polygons don’t have the same number of vertices across frames, which is not at all unlikely when the polygons come out of a voronoi algo like this. You may have more luck representing each of the line segments bet…

Sankeys do support some animated transitions (as do Treemaps and Sunbursts) but there is no helper to create them like with plotly.express.

@nicolaskruchten Thanks for fast response. Let me know if you have a quick example of go.Sankey animation. I am very close to crack this through and it will look awesome. I am following this tutorial [Plotly animation with GO object](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63328589/animated-plot-with-…

@nicolaskruchten so if I try to animate sankey here, it becomes a deadend?

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get to answering your question… It would be easier for me if you provided a complete code listing showing a minimal example of what you’re trying to do.

@nicolaskruchten does Plotly Animation only support scatter and bar? Any chance to support Sankey diagram by chance?
