How can I reverse the direction of a colorscale in plotly? I am trying to use the color scale Viridis for a marker plot
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.plotly as py
import numpy as np
trace1 = go.Scatter(
y = np.random.randn(500),
mode='markers',
marker=dict(
size=16,
color = np.random.randn(500), #set color equal to a variable
colorscale='Viridis',
showscale=True
)
)
data = [trace1]
py.iplot(data, filename='scatter-plot-with-colorscale')
but I want it to be darker for higher values and lighter for lower values. Is there any way to do this without defining my own custom colorscale or changing my color parameter array?
Just add reversescale = True
to your plot definition and the colorscale is reversed.
import plotly
plotly.offline.init_notebook_mode()
trace = plotly.graph_objs.Heatmap(z=[[1, 20, 30],
[20, 1, 60],
[30, 60, 1]],
reversescale=True)
plotly.offline.iplot([trace])
For anyone else looking for this like me: contrary to Sheldores comment to the OP, for me adding '_r' to the colorscale name as described here worked perfectly fine. However, I think this was probably changed in plotly since then. Compare the two following figures:
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.plotly as py
import numpy as np
y_data = np.random.randn(500)
color_data = np.random.randn(500)
fig1 = go.Figure(go.Scatter(
y = y_data,
mode='markers',
marker=dict(
size=16,
color = color_data, #set color equal to a variable
colorscale='Viridis',
showscale=True
)
))
fig2 = go.Figure(go.Scatter(
y = y_data,
mode='markers',
marker=dict(
size=16,
color = color_data, #set color equal to a variable
colorscale='Viridis_r',
showscale=True
)
))
fig1.show()
fig2.show()
My plotly version is 4.11.0
