PlotlyWidget.update_annotations

PlotlyWidget.update_annotations(patch=None, selector=None, row=None, col=None, secondary_y=None, **kwargs)

Perform a property update operation on all annotations that satisfy the specified selection criteria

Parameters
  • patch (dict or None (default None)) – Dictionary of property updates to be applied to all annotations that satisfy the selection criteria.

  • selector (dict, function, int, str or None (default None)) – Dict to use as selection criteria. Traces will be selected if they contain properties corresponding to all of the dictionary’s keys, with values that exactly match the supplied values. If None (the default), all annotations are selected. If a function, it must be a function accepting a single argument and returning a boolean. The function will be called on each annotation and those for which the function returned True will be in the selection. If an int N, the Nth annotation matching row and col will be selected (N can be negative). If a string S, the selector is equivalent to dict(type=S).

  • row (int or None (default None)) – Subplot row and column index of annotations to select. To select annotations by row and column, the Figure must have been created using plotly.subplots.make_subplots. To select only those annotation that are in paper coordinates, set row and col to the string ‘paper’. If None (the default), all annotations are selected.

  • col (int or None (default None)) – Subplot row and column index of annotations to select. To select annotations by row and column, the Figure must have been created using plotly.subplots.make_subplots. To select only those annotation that are in paper coordinates, set row and col to the string ‘paper’. If None (the default), all annotations are selected.

  • secondary_y (boolean or None (default None)) –

    • If True, only select annotations associated with the secondary y-axis of the subplot.

    • If False, only select annotations associated with the primary y-axis of the subplot.

    • If None (the default), do not filter annotations based on secondary y-axis.

    To select annotations by secondary y-axis, the Figure must have been created using plotly.subplots.make_subplots. See the docstring for the specs argument to make_subplots for more info on creating subplots with secondary y-axes.

  • **kwargs – Additional property updates to apply to each selected annotation. If a property is specified in both patch and in **kwargs then the one in **kwargs takes precedence.
