I have a dashboard which has several 2D plots updating on a one second interval. The 3D plots and geoscatters that I have will update the graph only when the page is refreshed? Is there a way to refresh these graphs so that they appear to be live updating?

note: I’m aware animations are a thing, this is not what I’m looking for. I want my graphs to update in real time as I collect data from outside the dashboard.

this is possible and this should work - what are you doing now? can you share a reproducible example? are you trying to update these graphs with the dcc.Interval component but they aren’t getting updated?
