Hi,

I have a candlestick chart. I want to get the date(x axis value) of a candle when it’s clicked.
How could I write such kind of callback?

Hi @ChrisYan and welcome to the Dash Community :slight_smile:

Check this out Part 4. Interactive Graphing and Crossfiltering | Dash for Python Documentation | Plotly

You can use the clickData property of the figure in your callback which gets triggered when clicking a datapoint on your plot. It returns an dict with x and y values along with other data.
