pip install plotly "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets>=7.2"
Inside Jupyter notebook:
import plotly.graph_objs as go fig = go.FigureWidget() # Display an empty figure fig
# Add a scatter chart fig.add_scatter(y=[2, 1, 4, 3]) # Add a bar chart fig.add_bar(y=[1, 4, 3, 2]) # Add a title fig.layout.title = 'Hello FigureWidget'

or conda.
conda install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets>=7.2"
For use in JupyterLab, install the jupyterlab and ipywidgets
packages using pip...
pip install jupyterlab==0.34 "ipywidgets>=7.2"
or conda.
conda install jupyterlab=0.34 "ipywidgets>=7.2"
Then run the following commands to install the required JupyterLab extensions:
# Avoid "JavaScript heap out of memory" errors during extension installation
# (OS X/Linux)
export NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
# (Windows)
set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
# Jupyter widgets extension
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/[email protected] --no-build
# FigureWidget support
jupyter labextension install [email protected] --no-build
# offline iplot support
jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/[email protected] --no-build
# Build extensions (must be done to activate extensions since --no-build is used above)
jupyter lab build
# Unset NODE_OPTIONS environment variable
# (OS X/Linux)
unset NODE_OPTIONS
# (Windows)
set NODE_OPTIONS=
plotly.py supports static image export using the to_image and write_image
functions in the plotly.io package. This functionality requires the
installation of the plotly orca command line utility and the
psutil Python package.
These dependencies can both be installed using conda:
conda install -c plotly plotly-orca psutil
Or, psutil can be installed using pip...
pip install psutil
and orca can be installed according to the instructions in the orca README.
