Consider removing column name and = sign in legend

Hi again @nicolaskruchten,

Something that puzzled me about the color arg in the plot is that it includes the name of the column followed by an equal sign. Would you consider removing it and just let the value of the column in place? Here are a few reasons to support that point :

• It is not displayed in plotly by default
• It’s redundant information when we see date= orcountry= it easy to infer by the value of the field
• It takes some extra place, that is valuable, especially in the vertical orientation.

Also, for personal taste, I think equal sign does not play well outside equations and prefer : instead.

Happy to discuss with you about it. Maybe there is an option that can disable it, that I am not aware of.

If you just want to show the values in legend, you can use this:

fig = px.scatter(data_grouped_month, x="resolved_tf", y="alert_role",
                 size='incident_count',color='alert_role', hover_data=['alert_role']).for_each_trace(lambda t: t.update(name=t.name.split("=")[1]))

like if you have something like:

alert_role=cpu
alert_role=clone
alert_role=memory
alert_role=io wait time
alert_role= databse

Like:

so the below snippet will remove the “alert_role” and will show only values like cpu, clone,memory etc: .for_each_trace(lambda t: t.update(name=t.name.split("=")[1]))

The output will be:

cpu
clone
memory
io wait time
database

With the newest release, you can now easily change this after the fact with something like:

.for_each_trace(lambda t: t.update(name=t.name.replace("=",": ")))

For example:
