So I want to show a limited set of buttons in the modebar of a plotly plot rendered in Dash (for example, show all options excluding the lasso and pan options). I found this [solution](https://plot.ly/python/configuration-options/#remove-modebar-buttons) however according to [this page](https://plot.ly/python/renderers/#displaying-figures-using-dash) the show method does not work when the plot is in a Dash page. Is there some way to remove modebar buttons when the plot is in a Dash application?

Lol as soon as I posted it, I figured it out. Passed `config = {'modeBarButtonsToRemove':[List, of, Buttons, to, Remove]}` to dcc.Graph :

```
graph = dcc.Graph(
                id = "plot_metric",
                style = {"height" : "40rem"},
                figure = figure,
                config = {'modeBarButtonsToRemove': ['toggleSpikelines', "pan2d", "select2d", "lasso2d"]}
            )
```
