Plotly histogram text parameter not working

I have a plotly histogram where I am trying to add the count on the every bar, text_auto=True should work, but it keeps giving a error that TypeError: histogram() got an unexpected keyword argument 'text_auto'. I checked in the official docs and it is present in the function.

That's my sample data:

    index                                           content
1   api-path-removed-without-deprecation             4236
2   request-parameter-removed                        2024
3   request-property-removed                         622
4   api-removed-without-deprecation                  524
5   new-required-request-parameter                   502
6   new-required-request-property                    422
8   response-success-status-removed                  367
9   request-parameter-became-required                351
10  response-body-type-changed                       229
11  response-property-type-changed                   224
12  response-property-enum-value-added               224
13  response-media-type-removed                      212
14  request-parameter-type-changed                   207

This is my code for the graph:

import plotly.express as px
fig = px.histogram(top_content_dropped, x="content", y="index", color_discrete_sequence=['#2E86C1'])

fig.update_xaxes(showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='black', mirror=True)
fig.update_yaxes(categoryorder='total ascending',showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='black', mirror=True)

fig.update_layout(template='ggplot2',width=1500, height=800)

fig.show()

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong and how could I add the text?

Solution

  • This might be a version issue. text_auto=True works fine on my end in:

    fig = px.histogram(top_content_dropped, x="content", y="index", color_discrete_sequence=['#2E86C1'], text_auto=True)

    I'm on Plotly version 5.10.0

top_content_dropped = df

fig = px.histogram(top_content_dropped, x="content", y="index", color_discrete_sequence=['#2E86C1'], text_auto=True)

fig.update_xaxes(showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='black', mirror=True)

fig.update_layout(template='ggplot2',width=1500, height=800)
