Supported plots

The plots type supported by tikzplotly are presented in this page.

Scatter plots

The code has been constructed to export (almost all) the figures of the page Line Charts in Python of Plotly documentation.

Scatter plot Example 

import plotly.express as px
import tikzplotly

df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent=='Oceania'")
fig = px.line(df, x="year", y="lifeExp", color='country')

tikzplotly.save("line.tex", fig)
Scatter plot Example

Heat maps

The code has been constructed to export (almost all) the figures of the page Heatmaps in Python of Plotly documentation.

Heatmap Example 
import plotly.express as px
import tikzplotly
fig = px.imshow([[1, 20, 30],
                [20, 1, 60],
                [30, 60, 1]])
tikzplotly.save("heatmap.tex", fig)

Heatmap Example

Note

  • If possible, TikzPlotly try to save the heatmap as a png of the smallest size possible, namely 1 pixel for each value of the heatmap. But in some case, such export does not work. In this case, the image is saved in the original size of the Plotly figure.

Histograms

The examples of the page Histograms in Python of Plotly documentation are supported.

Histogram Example 
df = px.data.tips()
fig = px.histogram(df, x="total_bill")
tikzplotly.save("histogram.tex", fig)

Histogram Example

Note

  • There may be issues when many histograms are plotted on the same figure...

Bar plots

Some examples of the page Bar Charts in Python of Plotly documentation are supported (not stacked and aggregated bars).

Bar plot 

wide_df = px.data.medals_wide()
fig = px.bar(
    wide_df,
    x="nation",
    y=["gold", "silver", "bronze"],
    color_discrete_map = {"gold": "gold", "silver": "silver", "bronze": "#cd7f32"}
)
fig.update_traces(marker_line_width=2, marker_line_color="black")
tikzplotly.save("bar.tex", fig)
Bar plot Example

Polar and radar plots

The examples from the pages Polar Charts in Python and Radar Charts in Python are supported.

Polar plot 

df = px.data.wind()
fig = px.line_polar(df, r="frequency", theta="direction", color="strength", line_close=True,
                    color_discrete_sequence=px.colors.sequential.Plasma_r,
                    template="plotly_dark",)
tikzploylt.save("polar.tex", fig)
Polar plot Example

Radar plot 

df = pd.DataFrame(dict(
    r=[1, 5, 2, 2, 3],
    theta=['processing cost','mechanical properties','chemical stability',
        'thermal stability', 'device integration']))
fig = px.line_polar(df, r='r', theta='theta', line_close=True)
tikzploylt.save("radar.tex", fig)
Radar plot Example

3D scatter plots

Examples from 3D Scatter Plots in Python can be exported with tikzplotly.

3D scatter plot 

df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter_3d(df, x='sepal_length', y='sepal_width', z='petal_width', color='species')
tikzploylt.save("scatter3d.tex", fig)
