Is it possible to disable the zoom/pan window on a plotly.py candlestick chart?

Question

I am creating a candlestick plot using plotly.py. I would like to have a horizontal split and place the candlestick data in the top split and some data curves in the bottom bottom split. I do not need panning and zooming and that lower section of the candlestick chart with the zoom/pan controls is getting in my way.

Answer 1

To disable zoom and panning you need to set: layout.xaxis.fixedrange = true and layout.yaxis.fixedrange = true.

To hide the controls you need to set displayModeBar = false.

In Python this would for example look like this:

dcc.Graph(
    id='my-id',
    config={'displayModeBar': False},
   'layout': go.Layout(
       xaxis={'title': 'x-axis','fixedrange':True},
       yaxis={'title': 'y-axis','fixedrange':True})
)

This hides the controls at the top, not what is being asked. – Nealey

this is useful for heatmaps – Danicadanice

Answer 2

I disabled it with layout.xaxis.rangeslider.visible = false

Well done! This is really useful specially if you want to save as image – Gurias

Answer 3

It is possible to disable individual buttons from the bar.

See the Plotly Python documentation on the configuration object: https://plotly.com/python/configuration-options/#removing-modebar-buttons

example code:
fig.show(config={ 'modeBarButtonsToRemove': ['zoom', 'pan'] })

Worked for me. I just added this line fig.update_xaxes(rangeslider_visible=False) – Heelpost

Answer 5

If you save the file using the control save method, I think that it disables the zoom/pan function. Around October, I had a similar issue, and when I simply saved the chart, the zoom/pan function went away. Let me know if that works.

Thanks. But that kind of defies the functionality of the chart as it becomes an image and is not interactive anymore. – Navarrete
