dcc.Graph: How to force figure's layout to refresh after the class of its container was updated (bootstrap + sidebar + responsive)

Hello,

I believe my issue is very similar to the one raised here : How to force dcc.Graph to resize?

That is, a button is used to show/hide a sidebar (right side of the page, if you run the below code). When this sidebar is displayed, it is 3 col wide, and the main content of my page is 9 col wide. When the sidebar is not displayed, the main content is 12 col wide. (The code uses more classes than col-3, col-9 and col-12 though, because of the 5 possible screen sizes xs/sm/md/lg/xl)

Problem is : in the main content, I have a figure whose layout is not refreshed when I click on this button. As a result, it keeps the “12 col width”, despite the container in which this figure is, is properly resized (see the div with the text “some content some content…”)

If I manually resize the window (browser), making it just 1px larger, the figure is immediately refreshed and perfectly fits the container. So, how could I force the figure to adjust immediately, when I click on the button?

I tried the workaround proposed in the above post, but either I do not implement it correctly, or it doesnt work.

Does anyone have a solution?

My code is:

I tried this How to force dcc.Graph to resize?
this Plotly resize bug using html.Details / hidden Div and width=100%
checked this Is it possible to update just `layout`, not whole `figure` of Graph in callback?
found this https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/2769
But im still struggling with this layout which doesnt want to update the width of the figure correctly

I still have this issue and I dont know how to fix it. Everythime I change a className on the fly, Div are resized, but graph in these Div keeps the width of the previous class’ width :confused:

I just read about clientsideFunction đź“Ł Dash 0.41.0 released

Does it fix this issue? How to use it?

Solution here : Dynamic layout does not propagate resized graph dimensions until window is resized
