Hello. I am trying to use two types of markers at a scatterplot matrix. Like for example, using contour line for the boxes on the lower left hand side of the matrix, and scatter plot for that on the upper hand side of the matrix as shown below.
Is there a way to do this with Plotly?
Yes, you can create such a matrix of Plotly plots, as follows:
fig= plotly.tools.make_subplots(rows=3,
cols=3,
horizontal_spacing=0.02, #choose appropriately the h and v gaps
vertical_spacing=0.02,
)
For each type of Plotly plot (Scatter, Histogram, Contour ) define a function that returns the corresponding Plotly object.
For example such a function returns a contour plot:
def make_contour(x, y, z, colorscale):
return Contour( x=x,
y=y,
z=z,
colorscale=colorscale, #set reversescale=True if needed
contours=Contours(showlines=True),
line=dict(width=0.5, color='rgb(15,15,15)'),
name='',
showscale=False
)
A Plotly graph object returned by one of these three functions is then assigned to the corresponding cell in the matrix of subplots:
fig.append_trace(make_contour(x_data, y_data, z_data, 'Viridis'), 2, 1) # (2,1) is the row 2, column 1 cell
Finally you can update the layout according to your preferences:
fig['layout'].update(
showlegend=False,
hovermode='closest',
autosize=False,
width=800,
height=800,
title='your title'
)
