dcc.Graph: possible to add text boxes?

Dash Python
1

For the dcc.Graph, I have seen the tutorial with the following modebar options:

"modeBarButtonsToAdd": [
                        "drawline",
                        "drawopenpath",
                        "drawclosedpath",
                        "drawcircle",
                        "drawrect",
                        "eraseshape"]

Is there an option for adding a box where the user can write text?

Hi,

As far as I know there is nothing built in. But you could could built something like that with a button and a modal with dcc.Input for the user input and then create an annotation.

Hi you can use anything you like and use CSS positioning to align with the mode bar

Hello @matt.sd.watson,

It looks like annotations with shapes allows you to add a label, which is similar to a text box.

Check out midway through, after the dash updates.

I think you can allow for drawing a shape and then also allow for editing the annotations.
