Hi everyone! I have a dcc.Graph in my Dash app with legend shown to the right. Legend captions are rather long, about 50 characters long. When the browser is in full-width mode everything looks great, but in half-screen-width mode the plot itself looks very narrow and legend takes up a lot of space.…

You could use the component I created dash_breakpoints to render the graph with a different layout on different screen sizes :slight_smile:

Maybe set oriental = h when updating layout could help. You can see this link: Legends in Python

I’ve looked into this some, it’s kinda a pain. You could add an event listener to the resize of the window and alter the layout of the figure. Note: the charts are automatically responsive as long as you take off the width and height arguments. I have it to where when the charts are on a mobile de…

Does it do this via callbacks? Or just JS? If callbacks, does this update the layouts or the figures?

The component provides you with an (invisible) element that is triggered whenever the window width/height cross pre-defined breakpoint thresholds. You can then use this to run a callback (server- or client-side).

Ah. Ok. Wasn’t really getting that from the documentation about the functionality. That’s pretty cool, especially since it is within the scope of what dash can see.

Yeah I need to improve the doc haha, just put that together over a Saturday for a personal project and haven’t come back to it since

Thank you for your reply! It might be my last resort, if no other solution comes up. I would really like to have my legend to the right in full-width mode, if possible.
