Multiple hover_name for 3D plot in Python Plotly

Question

I would like to add more hover text using multiple columns for my 3D plot model.

For example: df :

    sepal_length    sepal_width petal_length    petal_width species species_id
0   5.1             3.5         1.4             0.2         setosa  1
1   4.9             3.0         1.4             0.2         setosa  1
2   4.7             3.2         1.3             0.2         setosa  1
3   4.6             3.1         1.5             0.2         setosa  1
4   5.0             3.6         1.4             0.2         setosa  1
5   5.4             3.9         1.7             0.4         setosa  1

Code:

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter_3d(df, x='sepal_length', y='sepal_width', z='petal_width',
                    color='petal_length', symbol='species', hover_name="species")
fig.show()

produced plot

In the plot, the hover_name="species" shows only species in the hover_name . How can I include species_id in hover_name as well?

Answer 1

Simply add additional information in hover_data argument below:

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter_3d(df, x='sepal_length', y='sepal_width', z='petal_width',
                    color='petal_length', symbol='species', hover_name="species", hover_data=["species", "species_id"])
fig.show()
