I’m working on creating a line graph via plotly. I am running into two problems. Plotly is defaulting to show every 7th value on the x axis and it is showing a year value for my first x axis value (as seen in the screenshot). Here is the code running. If either could be fixed, that would be great!
from connect_to_db import get_df import plotly.express as px import os df = get_df() fig = px.bar(df, x='Date', y='Total', color='CUSTOMER_TYPE', color_discrete_sequence=["#E15759","#8CD17D"], width=800, height=400) fig.update_layout({'plot_bgcolor': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', 'paper_bgcolor': 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', }) fig.update_layout( legend=dict( orientation="h", yanchor="bottom", y=1.02, xanchor="right", x=.4)) fig.update_layout({ 'legend_title_text': '' }, xaxis_title="", yaxis_title="Tested Count" ) fig.update_xaxes(showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='#FBFBFB', mirror=False) fig.update_yaxes(showgrid=True, gridwidth=1, gridcolor="#FBFBFB",showline=True, linewidth=2, linecolor='#FBFBFB', mirror=False) fig.show()
Thanks all!

Answer
In order to make the year disappear you’ll just have to make another specification for xaxis_tickformat
, like xaxis_tickformat = '%b'
to get:
Or you can go for xaxis_tickformat = '%B'
and get:
In both cases the year is removed, as per your request.
Complete code:
import plotly.graph_objects as go import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/finance-charts-apple.csv') fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter( x = df['Date'], y = df['AAPL.High'], )) fig.update_layout( title = 'Time Series with Custom Date-Time Format', #xaxis_tickformat = '%d %B (%a)<br>%Y' xaxis_tickformat = '%d %B <br>%Y' #xaxis_tickformat = '%B' ) fig.show()
