Is it possible to do a "pair plot" in plolty?


In plotly for python, is there anyway to do a plot with multiple variables on the x-axis against a single variable on the y-axis? The scatter_matrix function uses every variable combination, but I am looking for just a single variable on the y-axis. In seaborn, the graph below is easy to produce with pairplot, but can it be done in plotly?

Solution

  • Yes, you can use subplot with row = 1 and columns = whatever you want, like that:

    import plotly.express as px
    from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
    
    df = px.data.iris()
    
    fig = make_subplots(rows=1, cols=3)
    
    fig.add_trace(
        go.Scatter(x=df["sepal_width"], y=df["petal_length"], mode="markers",name="Scatter 1"),
        row=1, col=1
    )
    
    fig.add_trace(
        go.Scatter(x=df["sepal_length"], y=df["petal_length"], mode="markers",name="Scatter 2"),
        row=1, col=2
    )
    
    fig.add_trace(
        go.Scatter(x=df["petal_width"], y=df["petal_length"], mode="markers", name="Scatter 3",),
        row=1, col=3
    )
    
    
    fig.show()
