Converting old plotly code to newer version.I don't know/understand how to do it

I have this piece of a old plotly code for which I get a error saying that plotly has been migrated to chart studios, I just started a networks analysis project and for the visualization of the said/given data I already have it was done in an older version of plotly.Please help I saw plotly documentation and I don't understand the workings of it.

Answer 1

Two core recommendations

1. use dictionaries instead of objects (i.e. no need for Margin, Data, etc)
2. use standard import import plotly.graph_objects as go improves clarity of scope of an object

I defined variables upfront that your code uses. dot is no longer a valid marker symbol replaced with square

import plotly.graph_objects as go

# define some input data...
t = np.linspace(0, 10, 50)
Xe, Ye, Ze = np.cos(t), np.sin(t), t
Xn = Xe * 2
Yn = Ye * 2
Zn = Ze * 2
eigen = t
labels = ["a"]

trace1 = go.Scatter3d(
    x=Xe,
    y=Ye,
    z=Ze,
    mode="lines",
    line=dict(color="rgb(125,125,125)", width=1),
    hoverinfo="none",
)

trace2 = go.Scatter3d(
    x=Xn,
    y=Yn,
    z=Zn,
    mode="markers",
    name="actors",
    marker=dict(
        symbol="square",
        color=eigen,
        size=6,
        colorbar=dict(title="Colorbar"),
        colorscale="Viridis",
        line=dict(color="rgb(158,18,130)", width=0.5),
    ),
    text=labels,
    hoverinfo="text",
)

axis = dict(
    showbackground=False,
    showline=False,
    zeroline=False,
    showgrid=False,
    showticklabels=False,
    title="",
)

layout = go.Layout(
    title="3D Visualization of the Facebook nodes",
    width=1000,
    height=1000,
    showlegend=False,
    scene=dict(
        xaxis=axis,
        yaxis=axis,
        zaxis=axis,
    ),
    margin={"t": 100},  # go.Margin(t=100),
    hovermode="closest",
    annotations=[
        dict(
            showarrow=False,
            text=
            "Data source: <a href='http://bost.ocks.org/mike/miserables/miserables.json'>[1] miserables.json</a>",
            xref="paper",
            yref="paper",
            x=0,
            y=0.1,
            xanchor="left",
            yanchor="bottom",
            font=dict(size=14),
        )
    ],
)

fig = go.Figure(data=[trace1, trace2], layout=layout)
