Hi
I am implementing lasso/box selection in a scatterplot. I am using a callback function that returns me the indices of data selected by the user. The code works fine and returns me the correct indices when I applied a continuous or no label to the points. However, when I color the points using a discrete label I get incorrect indices or empty array.
Sample code to run is given below.
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.graph_objs import *
from IPython.display import display
df = px.data.iris()
selected = []
def filter_(trace, points, state):
global selected
print(points)
selected = points.point_inds
layout = Layout(
paper_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)',
plot_bgcolor='rgba(0,0,0,0)',
width=1000,
height=600,
)
fig = px.scatter(
df,
x='sepal_length',
y='sepal_width',
color="species",
)
fig.layout=layout
fig.update_xaxes(visible=False)
fig.update_yaxes(visible=False)
fig = go.FigureWidget(fig.data, fig.layout)
fig.layout.dragmode = 'lasso'
fig.data[0].on_selection(filter_)
display(fig)
dh = display(display_id=True)
On making a lasso/box selection this is the output thrown. As you can see point_inds is empty.
Points(point_inds=[],
xs=[],
ys=[],
trace_name='setosa',
trace_index=0)
If you comment color="species" , the code works fine.
In the above code, I also applied on_selection on all objects of fig.data but still did not work.
for f in fig.data:
f.on_selection(filter_)
