Yeah we need to update that page: there is a replacement called the Store component that uses local storage or non-DOM memory now. https://dash.plotly.com/dash-core-components/store

For my project ( https://github.com/nicolaskruchten/pivottable ) I adopted a simple Q&A approach: What does it do? Why is it good? How do I use it? ... folks seem to like it :)

Very, very cool! I love the code-generation bit, and I've been wanting to add something like it to https://github.com/plotly/jupyterlab-chart-editor for a long time! Is this functionality based on something open-s

Here’s an interactive version of a similar map, plus some crossfilter selections, built with Dash and Dask and Datashader: https://dash-gallery.plotly.host/dash-world-cell-towers/

Well, Verdana at least doesn’t, and that’s when I first noticed it :)

My understanding is that the term “lining” refers to numbers with the same height, (which is also common and appreciated in data tables!) and that “tabular” refers to numbers with the same width, so not quite the same thing: https:/&#

Ahh, very satisfying to learn the name of this property. It’s especially important in data tables when coupled with tabular numbers (essentially mono spaced numbers) so you can e.g. bold a cell without having the thousands or decimal separa

I agree that some libraries do this but in general Plotly does not: we mostly visualize the data given, and lots of users wish we would onboard more transformation/aggregation/processing :)

The model won't tell you how likely these scenarios are, but one advantage of this class of model over black-box ML function-fitting is that you can do scenario planning. You can do models runs like "what happens if the price of o

I broadly agree with the article, but one point where it falls short is that it doesn't mention that the 4 stages of the model can be (and sometimes even are!) iterated in various ways to account for the way real people actually behave

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Plotly... I'd be curious to hear more if you're willing to share! Were you working in Python or Javascript or within our GUI?

by nicolaskruchten 6y ago
This pattern of a having code in one language generate a static JSON 'spec' for a figure for rendering in Javascript is very widespread actually... We have Plotly wrappers in Python, R, and Julia and the community has made many ot

I've always like this article's thoughtful approach to what we should value when districting: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/could-gerrym...

Yes, here's the official word on this, under "Can I use Plotly for Python offline, without being connected to the internet?" https://plotly.com/python/is-plotly-free/

Altair and Vega-Lite are awesome! I'll shamelessly plug Plotly Express ( https://plotly.express/ ) here as something that works in a similar way, i.e. generates JSON figure descriptions rendered in Javascript, with an ev

ReadMe has been updated with link to the Linux AppImage, now that I'm back at my desk.

ReadMe updated to include Linux link!

by nicolaskruchten 7y ago
The missing link to the Linux AppImage was an oversight... fixed now that I'm back at my desk :) And yes, the desktop-app build toolchain is a pain to maintain.

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it :) I wish I had more time to work on the Jupyter version but Plotly Express and the JupyterLab Chart Editor keep me pretty busy at Plotly these days!

I'm so glad you like it! Have you checked out the upgraded React version? https://react-pivottable.js.org/ There's even a Dash wrapper now: https://community.plotly.com/t/show-and-tell-dash-pi

There’s no feature specifically for this but you can sometimes use an SSH tunnel and connect to localhost and have it work out. YMMV :)

Plotly.py is indeed developed primarily by employees of Plotly the company, but it's a 100% free/open-source, MIT licensed library that works totally offline and doesn't depend on any external service or require any kind of r

I can't speak for other libraries, but Plotly is extremely customizable: you can change pretty much color, font, dimension etc. There are thousands of attributes which can be tweaked, from the length of the tick markers to the exact po

Very much so! Plotly.py version 4 is "offline-only" just like matplotlib and other libraries: https://medium.com/plotly/plotly-py-4-0-is-here-offline-only...
