PlotlyAnimate

Wolfram Kernel

Execution environment

wljs-plotly

Package

PlotlyAnimate[p_PlotlyInstance, data_Association, transition_Association, opts___]

animates efficiently any Plotly graph with a new data with a specified transition.

Options

"Window"

By default, the "Window" option is set to "Inherited". This setting dynamically uses the currently active window associated with the PlotlyInstance.

When set to "Inherited", even if a new window is opened using the same instance, it will be detected automatically. This is possible because all PlotlyInstance objects perform a handshake after mounting on the page.

To override this behavior, you can provide a specific WindowObj as an option.

Example

An example

p = Plotly[<|
  "y" -> Table[Sin[2Pi x / 100.0], {x,100}],
  "mode"-> "markers",
  "type"-> "scatter"
|>]

freq = 0.5;
task = SetInterval[
 PlotlyAnimate[p, 
  <|
    "data" -> {
      <|"y" -> Table[Sin[freq Pi x / 100.0], {x,100}]|>
    },
    "trace" -> {0},
    "layout" -> <||>
  |>,
  <|
    "transition" -> <|
      "duration"->30,
      "easing"->"linear"
    |>,
    
    "frame" -> <|
      "duration"->30
    |>
  |>
 ];

 freq += 0.3;
, 30];

SetTimeout[TaskRemove[task], 2000];
