Dear all,
I am trying to use live update with plotly Dash (0.18.3) in Python (3.x), but I don’t need to update the plot so often (once or twice a day is what I need).
I did the following so far:
import dash
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import dash.dependencies as ddp
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
def plot_figure(data):
layout = dict(
title="Figure w/ plotly",
)
fig = dict(data=data, layout=layout)
return fig
def serve_layout():
return html.Div(children=[
html.Div([
html.H1("Plotly test with Live update",
style={"font-family": "Helvetica",
"border-bottom": "1px #000000 solid"}),
], className='banner'),
html.Div([dcc.Graph(id='plot')],),
dcc.Interval(id='live-update', interval=interval),
],)
second = 1000
minute = 60
hour = 60
day = 24
interval = 1/2*day*hour*minute*second
app = dash.Dash()
app.layout = serve_layout
@app.callback(
ddp.Output('plot', 'figure'),
[],
[],
[ddp.Event('live-update', 'interval')])
def gen_plot():
ind = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
df = pd.DataFrame({'one' : pd.Series([4., 3., 2., 1.], index=ind),
'two' : pd.Series([1., 2., 3., 4.], index=ind)})
trace = [go.Scatter(x=df.index, y=df['one'])]
fig = plot_figure(trace)
return fig
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)
The problem is at first nothing appears, it updates only after interval
, so after half a day. I added the serve_layout
function following Dash documentation to have an update when the page is loaded, but it seems to have no effect.
How could I have a first update when the page is first accessed and then updates at every interval
?
Thank you for your answers!
