The color of Scattergl points are missing when using animation
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(
data=[go.Scattergl(x=[0, 1], y=[0, 1])],
layout=go.Layout(
xaxis=dict(range=[0, 5], autorange=False),
yaxis=dict(range=[0, 5], autorange=False),
title="Start Title",
updatemenus=[dict(
type="buttons",
buttons=[dict(label="Play",
method="animate",
args=[None])])]
),
frames=[go.Frame(data=[go.Scattergl(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2])]),
go.Frame(data=[go.Scattergl(x=[1, 4], y=[1, 4])]),
go.Frame(data=[go.Scattergl(x=[3, 4], y=[3, 4])],
layout=go.Layout(title_text="End Title"))]
)
fig.update_layout(showlegend=False)
fig.show()
the visualization is shown as below: (https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/assets/55653936/29679f73-06e7-43dd-80ae-1c7d7636f29d)
When I execute the above code, only the first frame line segment has normal color, and the other frame line segments have no color.
Hi everyone. I can confirm that apparently it is not possible to animate Scattergl plots. After changing my plots to Scatter, everything works as expected. The need for using Scattergl plots is related to a "background plot (with many elements)" I need to use behind the points that change over the time. By the way, I am declaring the background plots in every Frame in the data parameter. If there is another approach for this, I will appreciate it a lot. Thanks!
