Can’t get a simple example table to show as separate offline plot. Get a javascript error:

import pandas as pd  
import plotly.plotly as py  
import plotly.graph\_objs as go  
from plotly.offline import download\_plotlyjs, init\_notebook\_mode, plot, iplot  
init\_notebook\_mode(connected=False)

trace = go.Table(  
header=dict(values=[‘A Scores’, ‘B Scores’]),  
cells=dict(values=[[100, 90, 76,76],  
[80, 90,45,48],  
]))

layout = dict(width=500, height=300)  
data = [trace]  
fig = dict(data=data, layout=layout)

iplot(fig, filename = ‘basic\_table.html’) #shows ok in jupyter notebook

plot(fig, filename = ‘basic\_table.html’) #doesn’t show in separate browser windows with javascript error

Ok I have work around for this now.

1. in the header the values are apparently expected to be list of lists. This is probably for multi-rows.
2. width property must be defined on the level of cells { line }, otherwise the cells wont render because of an error looking for “width” property

trace = go.Table(  
columnwidth = [250,250],  
header=dict(values=[[‘A Scores’], [‘B Scores’]],  
height = 50,  
line = dict(color=‘rgb(50,50,50)’, width= 1),  
align = [‘left’]\*5,  
font = dict(color=[‘rgb(45,45,45)’]\*5, size=14),  
fill = dict( color = ‘#d562be’ )  
),

```
cells=dict(values=[[100, 90, 76,76],
                   [80, 90,45,48],],
           height = 45,
              line = dict(color='rgb(50,50,50)', width= 1), 
          )
)

```

layout = dict(width=500, height=500)  
data = [trace]  
fig = dict(data=data, layout=layout)

iplot(fig, filename = ‘basic\_table.html’)  
plot(fig, filename = ‘basic\_table.html’)
