Plotly animation not working with Scattermapbox. The following code is heavily based on https://chart-studio.plotly.com/~empet/14825/scattermapbox-animation-forum-question/#/. The Play button does activate the slider but the graph is stuck on the 1st frame. Anyone ran into the same issue and was able to solve it?
fig = go.Figure(data = go.Scattermapbox(
lat=[__route_gps.loc[0, 'latitude']],
lon=[__route_gps.loc[0, 'longitude']],
mode='markers',
marker=dict(size=10, color='red')
))
fig.update_layout(mapbox=dict(accesstoken=mapbox_access_token,
bearing=0,
center=dict(lat=__route_gps['latitude'].mean(),
lon=__route_gps['longitude'].mean()),
pitch=0,
zoom=8.5,
style='carto-positron'))
frames=[dict(data=[dict(type='scattermapbox',
lat=__route_gps.iloc[:k+1]['latitude'].values,
lon=__route_gps.iloc[:k+1]['longitude'].values)],
traces= [0],
name='frame{}'.format(k)
) for k in range(1, len(__route_gps))]
fig.update(frames=frames)
sliders = [dict(steps= [dict(method= 'animate',
args= [[ f'frame{k}'],
dict(mode= 'immediate',
frame= dict(duration=100, redraw= True ),
transition=dict( duration= 0))
],
label='{:d}'.format(k)
) for k in range(len(__route_gps))],
transition= dict(duration= 0 ),
x=0,#slider starting position
y=0,
currentvalue=dict(font=dict(size=12),
prefix='Point: ',
visible=True,
xanchor= 'center'),
len=1.0)
]
fig.update_layout(updatemenus=[dict(type='buttons', showactive=False,
y=0, yanchor='top',
x=1.05, xanchor='right',
pad=dict(t=0, r=10),
buttons=[dict(label='Play',
method='animate',
args=[None,
dict(frame=dict(duration=100,
redraw=True),
transition=dict(duration=0),
fromcurrent=True,
mode='immediate'
)
]
)
]
)
],
sliders=sliders)
fig.show();
If I replace Scattermapbox with simple Scatter plot it does work. But it is useless to show GPS data without a map.
