Table exports with a long line in PDFs

related to: https://github.com/plotly/orca/issues/147 and https://github.com/plotly/streambed/issues/11618

The PDF exports display line in the following environments:

• Windows 10 / Chrome viewer
• Windows 10 / Adobe-reader
• MacOS10.13 / Chrome70

Example :

import plotly.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go

import pandas as pd
import colorlover as cl

colors = cl.scales['5']['seq']['Blues']
data = {'Year' : [2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014],
        'Color' : colors}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)


trace0 = go.Table(
  header = dict(
    values = ["Color", "<b>YEAR</b>"],
    line = dict(color = 'white'),
    fill = dict(color = 'white'),
    align = ['center'],
    font = dict(color = 'black', size = 12)
  ),
  cells = dict(
    values = [df.Color, df.Year],
    line = dict(color = [df.Color]),
    fill = dict(color = [df.Color]),
    align = 'center',
    font = dict(color = 'black', size = 11)
    ))

data = [trace0]

py.iplot(data, filename = "row variable color")

Please note that this behavior is happening only when saving via Python API call and exporting via the plot’s view page at plot.ly. I don’t see the line when saving/exporting via Chart studio.

Do you see a line here?

@jonmmease No I don’t see any line.

this version is not relevant if you’re exporting to a PDF through chart studio.

Apologies for the confusion and it makes more sense now as when I tried with plotly.py’s plotly.io.write_image I don’t see any line so this has something to do with the Chart Studio itself. Thank you for clarifying this.

@etpinard Thank you for the update I will follow-up with issue’s status at https://github.com/plotly/streambed/issues/11618

I had the same problem and there is not much information provided. I don’t know the exact reason why the erroneous line is there in these graphs but I have a workaround for this. Try setting the background color of the graph and you’ll notice that the line is aligned with the background so I adjusted the margins and put the right margin to zero and the problem was resolved.

layout(margin = list(r = 0, pad = 0))
