Hi,
I’m plotting scattergeo plots on a US map (51 traces for 51 states plus DC and 4 traces for 4 different years). I have updatemenus with 2 buttons that switch between a regular scattergeo with legend (51 traces) and another scattergeo with a slider at the bottom (4 traces). I initially set the 4 traces (years) visible = False because I wanted the 51 traces to appear first but when I click button to switch to scattergeo with slider and set first 51 traces visible = False and final 4 traces visible = [True, False, False, False] none of my traces are visible on the map.
No sure why this is happening. When I set cities_year visible = True the traces appear but I don’t want that because then I have the all my scatterpoints being plotted twice in the same position.
Here is my plotly code:
cities = []
for state in data['state'].value_counts().index:
data_sub = data.loc[data['state'] == state]
city = dict(
type = 'scattergeo',
visible = True,
locationmode = 'USA-states',
lon = data_sub['lon'],
lat = data_sub['lat'],
text = text,
mode = 'markers',
marker = dict(
size = 8,
color = "rgb(255, 102, 102)",
opacity = 0.4,
line = dict(
width=0.5,
color='rgb(255, 102, 102)'
)
),
name = state
)
cities.append(city)
cities_year = []
for year in sorted(data.date.dt.year.value_counts().index):
data_sub = data.loc[data['date'].dt.year == year]
city = dict(
type = 'scattergeo',
visible = False,
locationmode = 'USA-states',
lon = data_sub['lon'],
lat = data_sub['lat'],
text = text,
mode = 'markers',
marker = dict(
size = 8,
color = "rgb(255, 102, 102)",
opacity = 0.4,
line = dict(
width=0.5,
color='rgb(255, 102, 102)'
)
),
name = str(year)
)
cities_year.append(city)
