Save fig as html using jupyterlab/FigureWidget?

Missing something majorly simple, but how do we accomplish py.plot(fig, filename=‘name.html’) (i.e. saving a plot or mapbox plot as an html) with FigureWidget/in jupyterlab?

Additionally, are there additional components for saving a scattermapbox as an html or png? When I click on the screenshot icon in my scattermapbox, I only get an output of the added title and legend on a white box.

Hi @melmel,

FigureWidget is essentially a Figure subclass so you can use the same plot/iplot methods on a FigureWidget as well. (Note that any Python callbacks that are registered on the FigureWidget won’t be active in the static HTML version because there’s no Python kernel available there.)

Hmm, I’m not sure what might be going on with your scattermapbox plot. Clicking the save image modebar button should work without additional configuration. Does this simple example give you the same problem https://plot.ly/python/scattermapbox/#basic-example?

If you want to try saving the image programmatically using orca (https://plot.ly/python/static-image-export/) then you need to configure orca with your mapbox access token (https://plot.ly/python/orca-management/#other-configuration-settings).

Hope that helps!

Thanks, @jmmease ! I can reproduce the map in the mapbox example if I only call iplot(fig) , but get an error when I try to call py.iplot(fig, filename='Montreal Mapbox'. It seems like the filename part might be the issue?

Here’s the error and the list of packages that I have in my venv (maybe I’m missing something to work with mapbox?):

Hmm, you shouldn’t need anything extra installed for mapbox plots. Does py.iplot work for you for other non-mapbox trace types?

No–keep getting the same error, associated with connection errors (with plotly, even in offline mode?).

The png screenshots work with non-mapbox plots, and I can open both types of plots in Chart Studio and save as both png and html files from there.

Hi @melmel,

What are you importing for these examples? If you’re saving to HTML using plotly.offline.plot (rather than plotly.plotly.plot) then there shouldn’t be any external connections involved.

Here’s a minimal example of saving a figure to HTML in offline mode.

import plotly.graph_objs as go
from plotly.offline import plot

plot(go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter(y=[1, 3, 2])]), filename='fig.html')

Does this work for you?

Ah yes this works! I had from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, plot, iplot at one point in troubleshooting, but kept switching things around.

Thanks for your help!
