I've got 10+ subplots which I want to disable the grid lines for showgrid=False. I need to do that for both x and y axes.
This answer seems to be close, but I can't extend it to do what I want.
In the answer above they show how to set the range for all subplots:
myRange=[0,6]
for ax in fig['layout']:
if ax[:5]=='xaxis':
fig['layout'][ax]['range']=myRange
But when I try that with showgrid I get an error TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment
I tried:
for ax in fig['layout']:
fig['layout'][ax]['showgrid'] = False
Using just update_layout only changes the first subplot:
fig.update_layout(
xaxis=dict(showgrid=False),
yaxis=dict(showgrid=False)
)
Your own suggestion works, but the following is more flexible for an arbitrary number of subplots:
fig.for_each_xaxis(lambda x: x.update(showgrid=False))
fig.for_each_yaxis(lambda x: x.update(showgrid=False))

import plotly.graph_objects as go
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
fig = make_subplots(rows=2, cols=2, start_cell="bottom-left")
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[4, 5, 6]),
row=1, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[20, 30, 40], y=[50, 60, 70]),
row=1, col=2)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[300, 400, 500], y=[600, 700, 800]),
row=2, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[4000, 5000, 6000], y=[7000, 8000, 9000]),
row=2, col=2)
fig.for_each_xaxis(lambda x: x.update(showgrid=False))
fig.for_each_yaxis(lambda x: x.update(showgrid=False))
fig.show()
I found the answer in the Plotly forums. Use fig['layout']['xaxis7'].update(showgrid=False) (1 indexed). Example:
for i in range(10):
fig['layout'][f'xaxis{i+1}'].update(showgrid=False)
fig['layout'][f'yaxis{i+1}'].update(showgrid=False)
