Scattermapbox; Hide markers using dropdown button

📊 Plotly Python
1

Hi there,

I’m looking for a way to hide markers on a map based on the ‘Capacity’ value in my pandas Dataframe.
I used an example i found on towardsdatascience to create my markers for each of my 6 categories like so:

def value_select(keyword):

    var = df.loc[df['Type'] == project, keyword]

    return var

for project in project_categories:
    project_data = dict(
            type = 'scattermapbox',
            lat = value_select('latitude'),
            lon = value_select('longitude'),
            name = project,
            mode = 'markers',
            text =  'removed for privacy'
            hoverinfo = 'text',
            marker = dict(size=size,
                    sizemode='area',
                    sizeref=2*max(size)/10, 
                    sizemin=8,
                    opacity = 0.8
                    ),
        )

    data.append(project_data)

I can hide the different marker groups just like in the example I found online:

updatemenus= list([
 dict(
 buttons=list([
        dict(label = 'All',
             method = 'update',
             args = [{'visible': [True, True, True, True, True,]}]
             ),
        dict(label = '',
             method = 'update',
             args = [{'visible': [True, False, False, False, False]}]
             ),
        dict(label = '',
            method = 'update',
            args = [{'visible': [False, True, False, False, False]}]
            ),
        dict(label = '',
             method = 'update',
             args = [{'visible': [False, False, True, False, False]}]
             ),
        dict(label = '',
            method = 'update',
            args = [{'visible': [False, False, False, True, False]}]
            ),
        dict(label = '',
            method = 'update',
            args = [{'visible': [False, False, False,False, True]}]
            ),
        ]),
            direction = 'up',
            x = 0.01,
            xanchor = 'left',
            y = 0.01,
            yanchor = 'bottom',
            bgcolor = '#000000',
            bordercolor = '#FFFFFF',
            font = dict(size=11)
        ),
)]

I have tried using transforms (just got the error of invalid property) and basically anything I could think of, but to no avail. My goal is to use an updatemenus dropdown with around 4-5 options to hide all markers regardless of category if their ‘Capacity’ value is <1, <2, >15 etc.

Any pointers towards the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I’m using the latest plotly release with python 3.6 and using offline.plot to generate html files
