## Quickstart

`pip install plotly==4.11.0`

Inside [Jupyter notebook](https://jupyter.org/install) (installable with `pip install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets>=7.2"`):

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(y=[2, 1, 4, 3]))
fig.add_trace(go.Bar(y=[1, 4, 3, 2]))
fig.update_layout(title = 'Hello Figure')
fig.show()
```

See the [Python documentation](https://plot.ly/python/) for more examples.

## Overview

[plotly.py](https://plot.ly/python) is an interactive, open-source, and browser-based graphing library for Python :sparkles:

Built on top of [plotly.js](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js), `plotly.py` is a high-level, declarative charting library. plotly.js ships with over 30 chart types, including scientific charts, 3D graphs, statistical charts, SVG maps, financial charts, and more.

`plotly.py` is [MIT Licensed](packages/python/chart-studio/LICENSE.txt). Plotly graphs can be viewed in Jupyter notebooks, standalone HTML files, or hosted online using [Chart Studio Cloud](https://chart-studio.plot.ly/feed/).

## Installation

plotly.py may be installed using pip...

```
pip install plotly==4.11.0
```

or conda.

```
conda install -c plotly plotly=4.11.0
```

### Jupyter Notebook Support

For use in the Jupyter Notebook, install the `notebook` and `ipywidgets`
packages using pip...

```
pip install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets==7.5"
```

or conda.

```
conda install "notebook>=5.3" "ipywidgets=7.5"
```

### JupyterLab Support (Python 3.5+)

For use in JupyterLab, install the `jupyterlab` and `ipywidgets`
packages using pip...

```
pip install jupyterlab "ipywidgets==7.5"
```

or conda.

```
conda install jupyterlab "ipywidgets=7.5"
```

Then run the following commands to install the required JupyterLab extensions (note that this will require [`node`](https://nodejs.org/) to be installed):

```
# Basic JupyterLab renderer support
jupyter labextension install jupyterlab-plotly@4.11.0

# OPTIONAL: Jupyter widgets extension for FigureWidget support
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager plotlywidget@4.11.0
```

Please check out our [Troubleshooting guide](https://plotly.com/python/troubleshooting/) if you run into any problems with JupyterLab.

### Static Image Export

plotly.py supports [static image export](https://plotly.com/python/static-image-export/),
using the either the [`kaleido`](https://github.com/plotly/Kaleido)
package (recommended, supported as of `plotly` version 4.9) or the [orca](https://github.com/plotly/orca)
command line utility (legacy as of `plotly` version 4.9).

#### Kaleido

The [`kaleido`](https://github.com/plotly/Kaleido) package has no dependencies and can be installed
using pip...

```
$ pip install -U kaleido
```

or conda.

```
$ conda install -c plotly python-kaleido
```

#### Orca

While Kaleido is now the recommended image export approach because it is easier to install
and more widely compatible, [static image export](https://plotly.com/python/static-image-export/)
can also be supported
by the legacy [orca](https://github.com/plotly/orca) command line utility and the
 [`psutil`](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil) Python package.

These dependencies can both be installed using conda:

```
conda install -c plotly plotly-orca==1.3.1 psutil
```

Or, `psutil` can be installed using pip...

```
pip install psutil
```

and orca can be installed according to the instructions in the [orca README](https://github.com/plotly/orca).


### Extended Geo Support

Some plotly.py features rely on fairly large geographic shape files. The county
choropleth figure factory is one such example. These shape files are distributed as a
separate `plotly-geo` package. This package can be installed using pip...

```
pip install plotly-geo==1.0.0
```

or conda

```
conda install -c plotly plotly-geo=1.0.0
```

### Chart Studio support

The `chart-studio` package can be used to upload plotly figures to Plotly's Chart
Studio Cloud or On-Prem service. This package can be installed using pip...

```
pip install chart-studio==1.0.0
```

or conda

```
conda install -c plotly chart-studio=1.0.0
```
