[Stacked area chart] Prevent hovering on empty data

📊 Plotly Python
1

Hi,
I’m displaying a stacked area chart, but missing values mess up with the hover behavior:

  • when any value is either missing or null/zero, you can only see the hover of the last added marker, thus a nulll/zero/empty one
  • when values are missing, the hovertemplate cannot be interpolated, thus is displayed as is

This leads to the amazingly beautiful caption below:

Any thoughts on how to fix/work around this ?

Only way to bypass this behavior imo is to “fill” your dataframe, i.e. replace absent values by zeroes in your dataframe (e.g. in your example having a value corresponding to 0 for orange label in your dataframe).

AFAIK there is no conditionnal hovering yet so the only way to get rid of the weird un-interpolated hovertemplate is to prevent having absence of values in your dataframe.

Hello, I am also struggling with the same kind of issue. Could you please let me know if you find any solution…? other than filling the nulls with any value in the data frame.
Thank you.

I have found no other solutions yet. However I know there is WIP on Plotly OSS about hovering on multiple points with the same coordinates. This might be linked with this issue in the future.
