How can I change the point size in px.strip plot ? https://plotly.com/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.express.strip.html

Hi @yogi_dhiman, same approach as in the scatter plot :slight_smile: fig.update_traces({'marker':{'size': your_desired_size}}) Full example: import plotly.express as px df = px.data.tips() fig = px.strip(df, x='total_bill', y='day') fig.update_traces({'marker':{'size': 50, 'color': 'pink'}}) creates: [newplot(22)]

[image] AIMPED: fig.update_traces({'marker':{'size': 50, 'color': 'pink'}}) what if want to give size based on some variable will following work fig.update_traces({‘marker’:{‘size’: df[‘size’], ‘color’: df['color]}})

Hi, you can change the marker size and color for each trace: [image] Scatter color not match with its legend 📊 Plotly Python Hi, you can do so using the selector argument of figure.update_traces() fig.update_traces({'opacity': 0.5}, selector={'name': 'won'}) fig.update_traces({'opacity': 1.0}, selector={'name': 'lost'}) You could even change the size or marker color the same way: fig.update_traces({'opacity': 0.5}, selector={'name': 'won'}) fig.update_traces({'opacity': 1.0, 'marker':{'color':'blue','size':10}}, selector={'name': 'lost'}) [newplot (25)] mrep traces

Hi @yogi_dhiman, I admit, I got a bit carried away by your question and came up with a scatter strip plot :joy: What gets lost in this process, is the separation of the data points for a given y-coordinate (in this case the weekday) which is created by px.strip import plotly.express as px import plotly.graph_objects as go # create data df = px.data.tips() # calculate relative tip df['rel_tip'] = df.tip / df.total_bill *100 df.rel_tip = df.rel_tip.apply(round,0) # set the marker size # all relative tips above 25% --> 30 # all relative tips above 20% to 25% --> 20 # rest --> 10 size=[] for tip, gender in zip(df.rel_tip, df.sex): if tip>25: size.append(30) elif 20<tip<=25: size.append(20) else: size.append(10) # set marker color, female=gold, male=crimson color=[['crimson', 'gold'][gender == 'Female'] for gender in df.sex] # create plotly.graph_objects Figure() and add trace figure = go.Figure() figure.add_scatter( x=df.total_bill, y=df.day, mode='markers', marker={'size': size, 'color': color} ) figure.update_layout(template='plotly_dark') figure.show() creates: [newplot (26)]

AIMPED i am looking for the point size based on variable value in strip plot itself ( your assumption was correct ) Can we do it ?

Hey @yogi_dhiman, I did not figure out how to do it. Actually I do not think it’s possible. The marker + color argument does not accept iterables. You can see this by switching the chart type: import plotly.express as px import numpy as np # data df = px.data.tips() # figure px_fig = px.strip(df, x='total_bill', y='day') #px_fig = px.scatter(df, x='total_bill', y='day') # update marker size marker_size = np.random.randint(1, 30, df.shape[0]) px_fig.update_traces({'marker':{'size':marker_size}})

This is a big limitation of the strip plot, in my opinion. As I have too many points to be displayed, I am clustering them, it would be great to have an indication of the size of each cluster. Colour is not an option in this case, as I have already coloured the markers by using a different property.
