Show / Hide Updatemenus

📊 Plotly Python
1

Hello,
I want to create a dynamic chart with Plotly in Python -> change the style option via buttons in the graph itself. Therefore, plotly offers the buttons or drowdownmenus. My current problem now is, that I would like to hide some of these buttons depending on which one is active.
My example is a plot where I can change my graph from lines into markers (first button set) and as special option for the lines I offer dotted, dashed and solid line (second button set).
Obviously, offering the second button set when “Markers” is active doesn’t make sense. So I would like to hide the second set. But until now I didn’t find a solution.
I am using the offline version of plotly.

I would appreciate any suggestions, thank you.

My mini example:

import plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go

x_ = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10]
y_ = [1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.5, 1.4, 1.4, 1.35, 1.3]

trace_ = go.Scatter(
    x = x_,
    y = y_,
    mode = "lines",
    line = dict(
        dash = "dot"
    )
)

layout_ = go.Layout(
    autosize = True
)

updatemenus_ = list([
	dict(
		buttons = list([
			dict(
				args=['mode', 'lines'],
				label='Lines',
				method='restyle'
			),
			dict(
				args=['mode', 'markers'],
				label='Markers',
				method='restyle'
			)
        ]),
        direction = 'left',
		pad = {'r': 10, 't': 10},
		showactive = True,
		type = 'buttons',
		x = 0.1,
		xanchor = 'right',
		y = 1.1,
		yanchor = 'top'
    ),
    dict(
		buttons = list([
			dict(
                args=['line', {'dash': 'dot'}],
				label='Dotted Line',
				method='restyle'
			),
			dict(
                args=['line', {'dash': 'dash'}],
				label='Dashed Line',
				method='restyle'
			),
			dict(
                args=['line', {'dash': 'solid'}],
				label='Solid Line',
				method='restyle'
			)
        ]),
        direction = 'right',
		pad = {'r': 10, 't': 10},
		showactive = True,
		type = 'buttons',
		x = 0.5,
		xanchor = 'right',
		y = 1.1,
		yanchor = 'top'
    ),
])

layout_['updatemenus'] = updatemenus_

fig = dict(data=[trace_], layout=layout_)

py.offline.plot(fig, filename='MiniExample.html')
