Unable to save plot to pdf

📊 Plotly Python

Hi all

anyone else unable to save to pdf with the latest version and settings of plotly?

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(1)

N = 100
x = np.random.rand(N)
y = np.random.rand(N)
colors = np.random.rand(N)
sz = np.random.rand(N) * 30

fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=x,
    y=y,
    mode="markers",
    marker=go.scatter.Marker(
        size=sz,
        color=colors,
        opacity=0.6,
        colorscale="Viridis"
    )
))

fig.show()
fig.write_image("images/fig1.pdf")

This does create the plot, but keeps running without saving the plot, any clues why?

hi @monitorcasalab

I copied your code and successfully saved the graph to pdf. I used dash==2.8.1 and I did pip install -U kaleido.

Can you try that and let me know if it works?

When I was looking at the Kaleido github, there were comments that the issue is mainly on windows machines, but otherwise works. Out of curiosity, are you on windows?
