Aesthetics Plotly - Title in the offline mode

Question

I have a basic question, tried many variations and couldn´t get it right. I am trying to put a title in a plotly barchart printes offline in a jupyter notebook. I am using python.

Without the title I can get the graph ok:

from plotly.offline import iplot, init_notebook_mode
init_notebook_mode()
import plotly.graph_objs as go

trace_2 = go.Bar(x=['Jan','Feb','Mar'],
              y = [1,2,3],
               text = [1,2,3],
               textposition = 'auto',
                   marker=dict(
                    color='rgb(158,202,225)'),)
data_2 = [trace_2]               


fig_2 = go.Figure(data=data_2)


iplot(fig_2)

When I try to put the title in, as in the tutorial, I get a lot of unexpected errors. How can I put the title "Count of the month" on top of the Graph?

tks

You need to use the title property of layout object, which you then pass to fig object, please refer the below example. Also please checkout the official docs for `plotly layout title.

from plotly.offline import iplot, init_notebook_mode
init_notebook_mode()
import plotly.graph_objs as go

trace_2 = go.Bar(x=['Jan','Feb','Mar'],
              y = [1,2,3],
               text = [1,2,3],
               textposition = 'auto',
                   marker=dict(
                    color='rgb(158,202,225)'),)
data_2 = [trace_2]               
layout = {'title': 'Count of the month'}

fig_2 = go.Figure(data=data_2, layout = layout )


iplot(fig_2)
