Deleting Shapes and not traces by name

danapol · July 15, 2024, 6:34pm

I am looking to translate this line of code to something usable for shapes instead of traces.

figure.data = [trace for trace in figure.data if not trace.name.startswith(‘Patch’)]

Something like this, but these lines of code didn’t work

// Doesn’t work
other_shapes = [shape for shape in figure.layout.shapes if not shape[‘name’].startswith(‘Patch’)]

figure.update_layout(shapes=other_shapes)
//

Thank you

Hey @danapol welcome to the forums.

Some while ago I did just that. Take a look at this:

github.com

AIMPED/plotly_dash/blob/master/plotlyDash_delete_shapes_by_name.py

from dash import Dash, dcc, html, Input, Output, State
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc
from dash.exceptions import PreventUpdate
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np

# prepare trace data
data = go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 10],
    y=[1, 10],
    mode='markers',
    marker={
        'size': 8,
        'symbol': 'circle-open',
    },
)

# create figure
fig = go.Figure(data=data)
