A Plotly figure is an object containing the traces, layout, and configuration that define a Plotly visualization.
How Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit covers it
- How deep it goes
- Explains incremental construction through traces and layout, without detailing Plotly internals.
- Examples
- Uses daily sales data to create a lines-and-markers time-series chart with metric-based titles and axis labels.
- What it assumes
- Assumes a prepared dataframe and metric definition while demonstrating figure construction from an empty object.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch with Plotly Graph Objects and display it through Streamlit.
- How it connects
- Connects Plotly Graph Objects, scatterplots, time-series data, and Streamlit.
