Conversion from px.timeline to go.Bars

[Wabiloo]

Hi,

I want to convert a px.timeline figure to the core one (with go.Bars). Primarily to be able to have more control on subplots (such as not sharing the same y categories).

Question: as I have rather a lot of data to display, is it more efficient to have single go.Bars trace (with individual x, y, base, Colors, hovertemplate, etc per data point, or multiple go.Bars (if so, grouped by what dimension?), or even one go.Bar trace per data point?

What would be the recommendation?

Currently this seems to be grouping the events by type. I’m not sure if there is a better way to do this or not. I am fairly new to plotly’s library. I’ve…

Hi @AIMPED, thanks for the link.
Unfortunately it doesn’t really answer my question, which was specifically about a recommendation about the number of traces (of type go.Bar) to add to a timeline graph.

Here is an example of what I’m making. This is a simple one with only a few visual bars, but I have some with hundreds.

I’ve not tested all cases, but I could have done this with a single trace, 6 traces, or 1 trace per visual element, or anything in between. What I’m trying to determine is how I should choose what warrants an individual trace vs several
