Plotly allows you to create interactive, publication-quality figures in Python. You can customize the width and height of your figures through multiple approaches: using update_layout, Plotly Express parameters, default templates, or configuration options when exporting. This guide covers each method with code examples.
Understanding Plotly Traces in Python
In Plotly, a trace represents a single dataset or graphical element within a chart. Each trace is an object that defines how data is displayed—such as lines, bars, markers, or other shapes. You can use multiple traces to layer and customize complex plots.
Understanding fill in Tkinter
In Tkinter, the fill option is commonly used with the pack() geometry manager. It controls how a widget expands to fill the space allocated to it. This helps you build responsive and adaptive layouts by controlling expansion in horizontal, vertical, or both directions.
Creating Round Buttons in Tkinter
Tkinter doesn’t natively support round buttons, but with a few creative techniques you can still design buttons with a circular shape. This is useful when building more modern or custom-styled interfaces.
Resolving TypeError: ufunc isnan not supported for the input types
I will explain how to resolve the error TypeError: ufunc ‘isnan’ not supported for the input types. That may occur when you try to plot a seaborn heatmap with pandas data. This error happens when some of the values in your data are not numeric, and seaborn tries to coerce them into numbers, but fails. Continue reading
Profiling Python Code for Performance Optimization
Performance profiling is essential for optimizing Python applications. It helps identify bottlenecks and areas that consume the most resources. I will show you several tools and techniques for profiling Python code to enhance its performance.
Saving Plotly Plots to Local Files
Plotly is renowned for its interactive web-based plots, but you often need to save these plots as static image files (PNG, JPEG, SVG) or as interactive HTML files for sharing or embedding. See how to save your Plotly figures to local files.
How to Set Same Scale for X and Y Axis in Plotly
When creating plots, especially scatter plots or scientific visualizations, it’s often crucial to ensure that the x and y axes have the same scale. This means that a unit of distance on the x-axis represents the same magnitude as a unit of distance on the y-axis. In Plotly, this is achieved by setting the aspect Continue reading
Setting Background Color to Transparent in Plotly Plots
Plotly is a versatile charting library that allows for extensive customization. One common requirement is to make the background of a plot transparent, which is particularly useful when embedding plots on websites with custom backgrounds or when layering plots. See how to set both the plot area and the overall figure background to transparent in Continue reading
How to remove space between subplots in Plotly
Plotly’s subplot functionality is incredibly useful for displaying multiple related plots in a single figure. By default, make_subplots adds a certain amount of spacing between these plots for readability. However, there are many cases where you might want to reduce or completely remove this space to create a more compact or visually continuous layout. See Continue reading
Tkinter Grid Layout: Understanding Sticky
The Tkinter grid layout manager is a powerful tool for arranging widgets in a table-like structure of rows and columns. One of its most important options is sticky, which controls how a widget is aligned and stretched within its grid cell. Understanding sticky is crucial for creating responsive and well-aligned Tkinter GUIs.
Adding Vertical Lines in Plotly
Vertical lines (vlines) are a great way to highlight specific x-values on a Plotly chart—whether it’s a threshold, a special event, or a point of interest. Learn how to use Plotly to create vertical lines in both Plotly Express and Graph Objects.
Tkinter OptionMenu Widget
The Tkinter OptionMenu widget provides a dropdown list from which the user can select a single item. It’s a convenient way to offer a predefined set of choices without taking up too much space in your graphical user interface (GUI). See how to create and use the OptionMenu widget.
How to create a full-screen Tkinter window in Python
Tkinter allows developers to build GUI applications in Python with ease. If you want your window to cover the entire screen, for example in kiosk applications or immersive displays, Tkinter makes it simple to go full screen. Check how to enable and manage full-screen mode in a Tkinter window.
Using Tkinter Frame with the grid geometry manager in Python GUI development
In Tkinter, the Frame widget is a powerful container used to group and organize other widgets within your application. When combined with the grid geometry manager, it provides a clean and structured way to lay out components in rows and columns. This guide explains how to create Frames and use the grid layout to build Continue reading
