Save image offline error: unable to communicate with the local orca server process

plotly.js
1

hi all, I m using Plotly successfully and save image via the subprocess call orca method which works

from subprocess import call
import json
import plotly

fig = {“data”: [{“y”: [1,2,1]}]}
call([‘orca’, ‘graph’, json.dumps(fig, cls=plotly.utils.PlotlyJSONEncoder)])

but when I use the function: fig.write_image(“images/fig1.png”)

I always get this error :

ValueError:
For some reason plotly.py was unable to communicate with the
local orca server process, even though the server process seems to be running.

Please review the process and connection information below:

orca status

state: running
executable: //anaconda3/bin/orca
version: 1.2.1
port: 51768
pid: 11500
command: ['//anaconda3/bin/orca', 'serve', '-p', '51768', '--plotly', '//anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/plotly/package_data/plotly.min.js', '--graph-only', '--mathjax', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js']

any idea ? thanks !

Hi,
so, on the issue with the “large” size chart. i have posted a similar problem on the forum but never got an answer unfortunately. I guess it’s better to use Matplotlib ?
