Hi, I am having an issue with formatting my legend items with plotly subplots. I have 9 timeseries subplots with each containing three traces. Most of these traces are unique and need to be displayed in the legend, however others are duplicated throughout the subplots and so I would like to only represent them in the legend once.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way for this to work using online examples - most of them rely on using the legendgroup = “xxx” or selectively entering showlegend=False into the appropriate traces, however it seems that using fig = make_subplots (rows = x, cols = y) instead of fig. go Figure() causes both to not be recognised (e.g. “add_trace() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘legendgroup’” ).
I was wondering whether anyone knew of a way to get around this when using subplots? Currently I am defining traces individually i.e.
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries1, etc etc)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries2, etc etc)
and the following isn’t recognised by plotly:
- This example causes an “unexpected keyboard argument error”
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries1, showlegend=False)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries2)
- This example again causes an “unexpected keyboard argument error”
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries1, legendgroup=“a”)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter( x=date, y=timeseries2, legendgroup=“b”)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
