v4.14.0 - Faceted and Animated Images and Heatmaps, Inside Tick Labels, Better Axis Type Detection

See the full announcement at https://community.plotly.com/t/announcing-plotly-py-4-14-faceted-and-animated-images-and-heatmaps-inside-tick-labels-better-axis-type-detection/48079

v4.13.0 - Magical Error Messages and Documentation, plus Speedups and Faceted Maps

See the fully release announcement at https://community.plotly.com/t/announcing-plotly-py-4-13-magical-error-messages-and-documentation-plus-speedups-and-faceted-maps/47497

Added

• px.choropleth, px.scatter_geo and px.line_geo now support faceting as well as fitbounds and basemap_visible 2923
• px.scatter_geo and px.line_geo now support geojson/featureidkey input 2923
• px.scatter_geo now supports symbol 2923
• go.Figure now has a set_subplots method to set subplots on an already
  existing figure. 2866
• Added Turbo colorscale and fancier swatch display functions
  2882
• A utility function image_array_to_data_uri has been added in
  plotly.utils, in order to transform NumPy arrays to data b64 URIs (which
  can be passed to the source parameter of go.Image, or to layout images).
  2879
• the selector argument to updater/selector functions now accepts ints and strs
  2894

Updated

• the JSON serialization of plotly figures has been accelerated thanks to a
  different handling of Infinity and NaN values. For example, a figure with a
  1000x1000 Heatmap should now serialize 2x faster. 2880
• Coding mistakes with "magic underscores" now return significantly more ergonomic error
  messages 2843
• Error messages related to impossible subplot geometries are now much more helpful
  2897

Fixed

• px.scatter_geo support for text is fixed 2923
• the x and y parameters of px.imshow are now used also in the case where
  an Image trace is used (for RGB data or with binary_string=True). However,
  only numerical values are accepted (while the Heatmap trace allows date or
  string values for x and y). 2761

v4.12.0 - Horizontal and Vertical Lines and Rectangles

See the full release announcement at https://community.plotly.com/t/announcing-plotly-py-4-12-horizontal-and-vertical-lines-and-rectangles/46783

Added

• For add_trace, add_shape, add_annotation and add_layout_image, the row and/or col argument now also accept the string "all". row="all" adds the object to all the subplot rows and col="all" adds the object to all the subplot columns. (#2840)
• Shapes that reference the plot axes in one dimension and the data in another dimension can be added with the new add_hline, add_vline, add_hrect, add_vrect functions, which also support the row="all" and col="all" arguments. (#2840)
• The add_trace, add_shape, add_annotation, add_layout_image, add_hline, add_vline, add_hrect, add_vrect functions accept an argument exclude_empty_subplots which if True, only adds the object to subplots already containing traces or layout objects. This is useful in conjunction with the row="all" and col="all" arguments. (#2840)
• For all go.Figure functions accepting a selector argument (e.g., select_traces), this argument can now also be a function which is passed each relevant graph object (in the case of select_traces, it is passed every trace in the figure). For graph objects where this function returns true, the graph object is included in the selection. (#2844)

Updated

• Updated Plotly.js to version 1.57.1. See the plotly.js CHANGELOG for more information. These changes are reflected in the auto-generated plotly.graph_objects module.

v4.11.0 - Period positioning on date axes

Updated

• Updated Plotly.js to version 1.56.0. See the plotly.js CHANGELOG for more information. These changes are reflected in the auto-generated plotly.graph_objects module.

v4.10.0 - date-axis improvements, a Faster px.imshow() and Full Figures for Development

See the full announcement at https://community.plotly.com/t/announcing-plotly-py-4-10-date-axis-improvements-a-faster-px-imshow-and-full-figures-for-development/44685

Updated

• Updated Plotly.js to version 1.55.2. See the plotly.js CHANGELOG for more information. These changes are reflected in the auto-generated plotly.graph_objects module.
• px.imshow has a new binary_string boolean argument, which passes the
  image data as a b64 binary string when True. Using binary strings allow for
  faster image rendering and smaller figure size. Additional optional arguments
  binary_backend, binary_format and binary_compression_level control
  how to generate the b64 string (#2691
• px.imshow has a new constrast_rescaling argument in order to choose how
  to set data values corresponding to the bounds of the color range
  (#2691

Added

• Added image export support using Kaleido. The image export backend can be configured using the new engine argument to plotly.io.to_image and plotly.io.write_image. The engine argument may be set to "kaleido", "orca", or "auto". The default is engine="auto", in which case the Kaleido backend is enabled if the kaleido package from PyPI is installed, otherwise Orca is used. (#2613).
• plotly.express.timeline() added as an official alternative to plotly.figure_factories.create_gantt() (#2626)
• create_hexbin_mapbox() added to Figure Factories, with thanks to @RenaudLN for the impressive contribution!

• add_traces() now accepts bare int-like values for rows/cols as well as lists thereof (#2546), with thanks to @MCBoarder289 for the contribution!

Fixed

• row/col now accept int-like values, not strictly int values (#2451), with thanks to @MCBoarder289 for the contribution!
• Fixed special cases with px.sunburst and px.treemap with path input (#2524)
• Fixed bug in hover_data argument of px functions, when the column name is changed with labels and hover_data is a dictionary setting up a specific format for the hover data (#2544).
