Plotly notebook mode with google colaboratory
simply pass "colab"
as the value for the parameter renderer
in fig.show(renderer="colab")
example :
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(
data=[go.Bar(y=[2, 1, 3])],
layout_title_text="A Figure Displayed with the 'colab' Renderer"
)
fig.show(renderer="colab")
plotly
version 4.x
As of version 4, plotly
renderers know about Colab, so the following is sufficient to display a figure in both Colab and Jupyter (and other notebooks like Kaggle, Azure, nteract):
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure( go.Scatter(x=[1,2,3], y=[1,3,2] ) )
fig.show()
plotly
version 3.x
Here's an example showing the use of Plotly in Colab. (Plotly requires custom initialization.)

You need to define this function:
def configure_plotly_browser_state():
import IPython
display(IPython.core.display.HTML('''
<script src="/static/components/requirejs/require.js"></script>
<script>
requirejs.config({
paths: {
base: '/static/base',
plotly: 'https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js?noext',
},
});
</script>
'''))
And call it in each offline plotting cell:
configure_plotly_browser_state()
