Changed behaviour in dash 2.18.2 using numpy 1.26.4 when reading figure into callback on linux

No problem, please run this dash example below and press “Print Data”.

Output with plotly 5.24.1 installed:
X values: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Y values: [2, 1.5, 3.5, 2, 5]

Output with plotly 6.0.0 installed:
X values: {‘dtype’: ‘f8’, ‘bdata’: ‘AAAAAAAA8D8AAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAhAAAAAAAAAEEAAAAAAAAAUQA==’, ‘_inputArray’: {‘0’: 1, ‘1’: 2, ‘2’: 3, ‘3’: 4, ‘4’: 5, ‘bdata’: ‘AAAAAAAA8D8AAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAhAAAAAAAAAEEAAAAAAAAAUQA==’, ‘dtype’: ‘f8’, ‘shape’: ‘5’}}
Y values: {‘dtype’: ‘f8’, ‘bdata’: ‘AAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAD4PwAAAAAAAAxAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAUQA==’, ‘_inputArray’: {‘0’: 2, ‘1’: 1.5, ‘2’: 3.5, ‘3’: 2, ‘4’: 5, ‘bdata’: ‘AAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAD4PwAAAAAAAAxAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAUQA==’, ‘dtype’: ‘f8’, ‘shape’: ‘5’}}

Dash example:

from dash import dcc, html, Input, Output, State
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import numpy as np

# Initialize the Dash app
app = dash.Dash(__name__)

# Create some sample data using numpy
x_data = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0])
y_data = np.array([2.0, 1.5, 3.5, 2.0, 5.0])

# Define the layout of the app
app.layout = html.Div([
    dcc.Graph(id='scatter-plot'),
    html.Button('Generate Plot', id='generate-button', n_clicks=0),
    html.Button('Print Data', id='print-button', n_clicks=0)
])

# Callback to generate the ScatterGL plot
@app.callback(
    Output('scatter-plot', 'figure'),
    Input('generate-button', 'n_clicks')

def update_figure(n_clicks):
    # Create a ScatterGL trace
    trace = go.Scattergl(
        x=x_data,
        y=y_data,
        mode='markers',
        marker=dict(size=10, color='blue')
    )
    
    # Create the figure
    fig = go.Figure(data=[trace])
    fig.update_layout(title='ScatterGL Plot', xaxis_title='X Axis', yaxis_title='Y Axis')
    
    return fig

# Callback to print the x and y data from the figure
@app.callback(
    Output('print-button', 'children'),
    Input('print-button', 'n_clicks'),
    State('scatter-plot', 'figure')
)
def print_data(n_clicks, figure):
    if n_clicks > 0 and figure is not None:
        # Extract the x and y data from the figure
        x_values = figure['data'][0]['x']
        y_values = figure['data'][0]['y']
        
        # Print the x and y values
        print("X values:", x_values)
        print("Y values:", y_values)
    
    return "Print Data"

# Run the app
