如何在python的绘图框中设置框的宽度？

Question

I currently have the following;

y = time_h
time_box = Box(
    y=y,
    name='Time (hours)',
    boxmean=True,
    marker=Marker(color='green'),
    boxpoints='all',
    jitter=0.5,
    pointpos=-2.0
)
layout = Layout(
    title='Time Box',
)
fig = Figure(data=Data([time_box]), layout=layout)
plotly.image.save_as(fig, os.path.join(output_images, 'time_box.png'))

This renders the following graph:

The box is too wide and I haven't been able to find anything in the docs.

Answer 1

You can also mess around with the boxgap (and boxgroupgap for when there are multiple boxes at different x locations, like here: https://plot.ly/python/box-plots/#Grouped-Box-Plot ) property inside Layout . More details here: Plotly Python Reference - Box Gap

Make sure that you have version 1.3.1 or higher. $ pip install plotly --upgrade

import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.graph_objs import *

data = Data([
    Box(
        y=[0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21],
        boxpoints='all',
        jitter=0.3,
        pointpos=-1.8
    )
])

layout = Layout(
    boxgap=0.5
)

fig = Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
plot_url = py.plot(fig, filename='box-plot-with-gap')

Some more examples:

boxgap=0 and boxgroupgap=0 :

boxgap=0.25 and boxgroupgap=0 :

boxgap=0 and boxgroupgap=0.25 :

boxgap=0.25 and boxgroupgap=0.25 :

It's also helpful to play around with these parameters in the Workspace, where you can modify every parameter of the graphs:

Answer 2

Try this

layout = Layout(
    title='Time Box',
    width=500,
    height=500
)

This should create a 500x500 graph
