Plotly histogram starts with negative value, even though none in data

Question

Hi all! When plotting the distribution of data with Plotly, I've noticed that the histogram bins start at a negative value (here -0.25) even though my dataset has no negative value (see below the mins, avg_time_per_user here starts at 0).

I've tried playing around with the number of bins which makes no difference. The only thing that makes the histogram correctly start at 0 is removing nbins=n entirely, which is not ideal as I want to be able to control it.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I have found a solution while Googling some more: using a dict to define the bins. This worked like a charm in having the correct first bin delimitation.

fig.update_traces(xbins=dict( 
        start=0.0,
        end=5.0,
        size=0.5))
