• Line charts (from dataframe)
• Scatter charts (from dictionary)
• Pie charts (from lists, numpy arrays, Pandas series)
• Histograms (from lists, numpy arrays, Pandas series)
• Dot charts (from dataframe)
• Box charts (from lists, numpy arrays, Pandas series)
• Sunburst charts (from lists, numpy arrays, Pandas series)
• Scatter charts subplots (from dictionary)
• Pie chats subplots (from dictionary)

Installation

pip install plotly_chart_generator

Usage

from plotly_chart_generator.display_chart import display_chart
from plotly_chart_generator.bar_chart import bar_chart 
from plotly_chart_generator.chart_styles import chart_styles

# create data
index = ['Product A', 'Product B', 'Product C']
values = {'Products': [37.5, 40.2, 27.8]}
data = pd.DataFrame(data=values, index=index).transpose()


# layout
layout = chart_styles(
    width=500, 
    height=600,
    title='Product sales (millions)', 
    title_size=16, 
    xaxis_ticksize=14)

# set colors
idmax = data.idxmax(axis=1)[0]
max_val_idx = data.columns.get_loc(idmax)
colors = ['lightslategray',] * len(data.values[0])
colors[max_val_idx] = 'crimson'

# traces
traces = bar_chart(
    df=data,
    bar_width=0.4, 
    textpos='inside', 
    linewidth=1, 
    marker_color=colors)


display_chart(traces=traces, layout=layout)
