Python Figure Reference: layout.yaxis

• yaxis
  Code: fig.update_yaxes(. )
  Type: dict containing one or more of the keys listed below.
  • anchor
    Code: fig.update_yaxes(anchor=)
    Type: enumerated , one of ( "free" | "/^x([2-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)?( domain)?$/" | "/^y([2-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)?( domain)?$/" ) If set to an opposite-letter axis id (e.g. `x2`, `y`), this axis is bound to the corresponding opposite-letter axis. If set to "free", this axis' position is determined by `position`.
  • automargin
    Code: fig.update_yaxes(automargin=)
    Type: flaglist string. Any combination of "height" , "width" , "left" , "right" , "top" , "bottom" joined with a "+" OR True or False .
    Examples: "height" , "width" , "height+width" , "height+width+left" , "True" Determines whether long tick labels automatically grow the figure margins.
  • autorange
    Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorange=)
    Type: enumerated , one of ( True | False | "reversed" | "min reversed" | "max reversed" | "min" | "max" )
    Default: True Determines whether or not the range of this axis is computed in relation to the input data. See `rangemode` for more info. If `range` is provided and it has a value for both the lower and upper bound, `autorange` is set to "False". Using "min" applies autorange only to set the minimum. Using "max" applies autorange only to set the maximum. Using "min reversed" applies autorange only to set the minimum on a reversed axis. Using "max reversed" applies autorange only to set the maximum on a reversed axis. Using "reversed" applies autorange on both ends and reverses the axis direction.
  • autorangeoptions
    Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions=dict(. ))
    Type: dict containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • clipmax
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions_clipmax=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Clip autorange maximum if it goes beyond this value. Has no effect when `autorangeoptions.maxallowed` is provided.
    • clipmin
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions_clipmin=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Clip autorange minimum if it goes beyond this value. Has no effect when `autorangeoptions.minallowed` is provided.
    • include
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions_include=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Ensure this value is included in autorange.
    • maxallowed
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions_maxallowed=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Use this value exactly as autorange maximum.
    • minallowed
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(autorangeoptions_minallowed=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Use this value exactly as autorange minimum.
    • dtick
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_dtick=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Sets the step in-between ticks on this axis. Use with `tick0`. Must be a positive number, or special strings available to "log" and "date" axes. If the axis `type` is "log", then ticks are set every 10^(n"dtick) where n is the tick number. For example, to set a tick mark at 1, 10, 100, 1000, . set dtick to 1. To set tick marks at 1, 100, 10000, . set dtick to 2. To set tick marks at 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, . set dtick to log_10(5), or 0.69897000433. "log" has several special values; "L", where `f` is a positive number, gives ticks linearly spaced in value (but not position). For example `tick0` = 0.1, `dtick` = "L0.5" will put ticks at 0.1, 0.6, 1.1, 1.6 etc. To show powers of 10 plus small digits between, use "D1" (all digits) or "D2" (only 2 and 5). `tick0` is ignored for "D1" and "D2". If the axis `type` is "date", then you must convert the time to milliseconds. For example, to set the interval between ticks to one day, set `dtick` to 86400000.0. "date" also has special values "M" gives ticks spaced by a number of months. `n` must be a positive integer. To set ticks on the 15th of every third month, set `tick0` to "2000-01-15" and `dtick` to "M3". To set ticks every 4 years, set `dtick` to "M48"
    • gridcolor
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_gridcolor=)
      Type: color
      Default: "#eee" Sets the color of the grid lines.
    • griddash
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_griddash=)
      Type: string
      Default: "solid" Sets the dash style of lines. Set to a dash type string ("solid", "dot", "dash", "longdash", "dashdot", or "longdashdot") or a dash length list in px (eg "5px,10px,2px,2px").
    • gridwidth
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_gridwidth=)
      Type: number greater than or equal to 0 Sets the width (in px) of the grid lines.
    • nticks
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_nticks=)
      Type: integer greater than or equal to 0
      Default: 5 Specifies the maximum number of ticks for the particular axis. The actual number of ticks will be chosen automatically to be less than or equal to `nticks`. Has an effect only if `tickmode` is set to "auto".
    • showgrid
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_showgrid=)
      Type: boolean Determines whether or not grid lines are drawn. If "True", the grid lines are drawn at every tick mark.
    • tick0
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_tick0=)
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string Sets the placement of the first tick on this axis. Use with `dtick`. If the axis `type` is "log", then you must take the log of your starting tick (e.g. to set the starting tick to 100, set the `tick0` to 2) except when `dtick`="L" (see `dtick` for more info). If the axis `type` is "date", it should be a date string, like date data. If the axis `type` is "category", it should be a number, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.
    • tickcolor
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_tickcolor=)
      Type: color
      Default: "#444" Sets the tick color.
    • ticklen
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_ticklen=)
      Type: number greater than or equal to 0 Sets the tick length (in px).
    • tickmode
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_tickmode=)
      Type: enumerated , one of ( "auto" | "linear" | "array" ) Sets the tick mode for this axis. If "auto", the number of ticks is set via `nticks`. If "linear", the placement of the ticks is determined by a starting position `tick0` and a tick step `dtick` ("linear" is the default value if `tick0` and `dtick` are provided). If "array", the placement of the ticks is set via `tickvals` and the tick text is `ticktext`. ("array" is the default value if `tickvals` is provided).
    • ticks
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_ticks=)
      Type: enumerated , one of ( "outside" | "inside" | "" ) Determines whether ticks are drawn or not. If "", this axis' ticks are not drawn. If "outside" ("inside"), this axis' are drawn outside (inside) the axis lines.
    • tickvals
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_tickvals=)
      Type: list, numpy array, or Pandas series of numbers, strings, or datetimes. Sets the values at which ticks on this axis appear. Only has an effect if `tickmode` is set to "array". Used with `ticktext`.
    • tickwidth
      Code: fig.update_yaxes(minor_tickwidth=)
      Type: number greater than or equal to 0 Sets the tick width (in px).

    • name
      Parent: layout.yaxis.rangebreaks[]
      Type: string When used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: False` or `enabled: False` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.
    • pattern
      Parent: layout.yaxis.rangebreaks[]
      Type: enumerated , one of ( "day of week" | "hour" | "" ) Determines a pattern on the time line that generates breaks. If "day of week" - days of the week in English e.g. 'Sunday' or `sun` (matching is case-insensitive and considers only the first three characters), as well as Sunday-based integers between 0 and 6. If "hour" - hour (24-hour clock) as decimal numbers between 0 and 24. for more info. Examples: - < pattern: 'day of week', bounds: [6, 1] >or simply < bounds: ['sat', 'mon'] >breaks from Saturday to Monday (i.e. skips the weekends). - < pattern: 'hour', bounds: [17, 8] >breaks from 5pm to 8am (i.e. skips non-work hours).
    • templateitemname
      Parent: layout.yaxis.rangebreaks[]
      Type: string Used to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: False` or `enabled: False` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: True`.
