.py file doesn't match code from linked blog post about blog HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @DavidLloydNGP,

thank you for bringing up the issue! I'm sure other readers were also wondering about the discrepancies between the blog and the .py file.

The app.py file should now work as intended and display the same results as shown in the screenshot of the blog.
I also made an update to import statements deprecated since dash v2.0. These changes, along with a different configuration of the Layout, are not (yet) included in the blog. Hopefully, I can find some time to make a larger update to the blog.

Thank you & have a great day!
Alex

I will have a look in the next days.

It was just named incorrectly. I changed the name. Hope this helps you @DavidLloydNGP. If not, let me know.

And for completeness, this is the folder for the blog post's example:

Thanks for the quick reply.

Perhaps if I gave a concrete example my point would have been clearer.

On the blog post, the 'Layout' function has the following parameters:
'layout':
go.Layout( colorway=["#5E0DAC", '#FF4F00', '#375CB1', '#FF7400', '#FFF400', '#FF0056'], template='plotly_dark', paper_bgcolor='rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', plot_bgcolor='rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', margin={'t': 50}, height=250, hovermode='x', autosize=True, title={'text': 'Daily Change', 'font': {'color': 'white'}, 'x': 0.5}, xaxis={'showticklabels': False, 'range': [df_sub.index.min(), df_sub.index.max()]}, )

On github, the same function has different parameter values:
go.Layout( colorway=["#5E0DAC", '#FF4F00', '#375CB1', '#FF7400', '#FFF400', '#FF0056'], template='plotly_dark', paper_bgcolor='rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', plot_bgcolor='rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)', margin={'b': 15}, hovermode='x', autosize=True, title={'text': 'Stock Prices', 'font': {'color': 'white'}, 'x': 0.5}, xaxis={'range': [df_sub.index.min(), df_sub.index.max()]}, )

Apologies if this seems needlessly pedantic. I am just starting out with Dash, and my dashboard doesn't look like the one in your blogpost, so I am keen to learn why. I think there may be other differences as well, which lead me to believe that the github file may be an older version of the code quoted in the blogpost.

Edit: it looks like the blog post has two plots: 'timeseries' and 'change' whereas the github code only has 'timeseries', hence the difference.

Ah ok. I will get in touch with the author and let him know :)

Thank you. Apologies for the long-winded description of a relatively simple problem.

No problem, the long description made it perfectly clear what you meant!
And thanks for the feedback and spotting it!
