Plotly: How to set line color?

Question

How can I set the color of a line in plotly?

import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots


fig = make_subplots(rows=         


        

Answer 1

@nicolaskruchten is of course right, but I'd like to throw in two other options:

line_color="#0000ff"

and

 fig['data'][0]['line']['color']="#00ff00"

I particularly appreciate the flexibility of the latter option since it easily lets you set a new color for a desired line after you've built a figure using for example fig.append_trace(go.Scatter()) or fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter)). Below is an example using all three options.

Code 1:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import numpy as np

t = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = np.cos(t)
y2= np.sin(t)
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter(x=t, y=y,mode='lines+markers', line_color='#ffe476'))
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=t, y=y2,mode='lines+markers', line=dict(color="#0000ff")))
fig.show()

Now you can change the colors directly if you insert the snippet below in a new cell and run it.

Code 2:

fig['data'][0]['line']['color']="#00ff00"
fig.show()
