Write_image in Plotly 6.3 does not work

đź“Š Plotly Python

Hello, I posted this here but haven’t gotten any feedback. Quite simply, write_image does not work in plotly 6.3 regardless of kaleido version. The following minimum reproducible example does not work with 1.1.0, 1.0.0, 0.2.1, or 0.1.1. I tried orca unsuccessfully as well.

import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter(y=[1, 3, 2])])
fig.write_image("figure.png")

Please let me know if I’m doing something dumb and if there is any way to save to an image in Plotly 6.3!

Most likely when you installed Plotly 6.3 you didn’t update kaleido.
pip install --upgrade kaleido
fixes your issue.

Empet, thanks for your reply. As I mentioned I tried with several versions, including the latest. See the link to my other post for the resulting error.

@iiwolf After installing Plotly 6.3, I experienced the same issue, with lines of code as yours. As far as I remember, the error shown was related to plotly.io. I upgraded kaleido and with the initial code:
```

import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(x=[1,2,3], y=[1, 3, 2], 
                mode=“lines”),
                go.Layout(width=400, height=350))                                                          
fig.write_image(“figure.png”)

the image was saved:

Interesting - what system are you on? Seems like it might be isolated to windows as others are mentioning the same issue: write_image does not work Plotly 6.3+, Windows 10 (seemingly regardless of kaleido version) · Issue #402 · plotly/Kaleido · GitHub
