Plotly in Tkinter

Plotly is a powerful data visualization library that allows you to create interactive plots and charts. Tkinter, on the other hand, is a Python GUI toolkit that allows you to create graphical user interfaces. Combining Plotly with Tkinter gives you the ability to embed interactive plots in your Tkinter applications.

Example:

Here is an example of using Plotly in Tkinter:

    
        import tkinter as tk
        import plotly.graph_objects as go
        from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
        
        def create_plot():
            fig = make_subplots(rows=1, cols=2)
            
            fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[4, 5, 6], mode='lines', name='line plot'), row=1, col=1)
            fig.add_trace(go.Bar(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[7, 8, 9], name='bar plot'), row=1, col=2)
            
            fig.update_layout(title='Plotly in Tkinter')
            
            fig.show()
        
        root = tk.Tk()
        root.title('Plotly in Tkinter Example')
        
        plot_button = tk.Button(root, text='Create Plot', command=create_plot)
        plot_button.pack()
        
        root.mainloop()

In the above example, we first import the necessary libraries – tkinter, plotly.graph_objects, and plotly.subplots. We then define a function called ‘create_plot’ that will be triggered when the ‘Create Plot’ button is clicked. Inside this function, we create a subplots object using the make_subplots function from Plotly. We add two traces (a line plot and a bar plot) to the subplots object using the add_trace method. We update the layout of the subplots object with a title using the update_layout method. Finally, we display the plot using the show method.

We then create a Tkinter window using the tk.Tk() constructor and set the title of the window. We create a button widget using the tk.Button constructor and assign the ‘create_plot’ function to the ‘command’ parameter of the button. We pack the button widget to display it in the window. Finally, we enter the main event loop using the root.mainloop() method to start the Tkinter application.
