Now let's load the dependencies/packages that we need in order to get a simple stream going.

In [2]:

import plotly.plotly as py  
import plotly.tools as tls   
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import numpy as np  

Overview¶

In this example we're going to be streaming to two different types of traces on the same plotting surface via subplots.

Getting Set Up¶

Let's get at least two streaming tokens for this task.

In [3]:

stream_tokens = tls.get_credentials_file()['stream_ids']
token_1 = stream_tokens[-1]   # I'm getting my stream tokens from the end to ensure I'm not reusing tokens
token_2 = stream_tokens[-2]   
print token_1
print token_2

0xhh453c6m
4lm5a0gsr8

Now let's create some stream id objects for each token.

In [4]:

stream_id1 = dict(token=token_1, maxpoints=60)
stream_id2 = dict(token=token_2, maxpoints=60)

The set up of this plot will contain one pie chart on the left and a bar chart on the right that will display the same information. This is possible because they are both charts that display "counts" for categroical variables.

We will have three categories, which are brilliantly named 'one', 'two', and 'three'. Later we'll randomly generate count data and stream it to our plot.

In [10]:

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

trace1 = go.Bar(
    x=['one', 'two', 'three'],
    y=[4, 3, 2],
    xaxis='x2',
    yaxis='y2',
    marker=dict(color="maroon"),
    name='Random Numbers',
    stream=stream_id2,
    showlegend=False
)
trace2 = go.Pie(
    labels=['one','two','three'],
    values=[20,50,100],
    domain=dict(x=[0, 0.45]),
    text=['one', 'two', 'three'],
    stream=stream_id1,
    sort=False,
    
)
data = [trace1, trace2]
layout = go.Layout(
    xaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0.5, 0.95],
        anchor='y2'
    ),
    yaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0, 1],
        anchor='x2'
    )
)
fig = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
py.iplot(fig, filename='simple-inset-stream')

Out[10]:

Now let's set up some stream link objects and start streaming some data to our plot

In [7]:

s_1 = py.Stream(stream_id=token_1)
s_2 = py.Stream(stream_id=token_2)

Start Streaming¶

In [ ]:

s_1.open()
s_2.open()

import time
import datetime
import numpy as np

while True:
    nums = np.random.random_integers(0,10, size=(3))
    s_1.write(dict(labels=['one', 'two', 'three'], values=nums, type='pie'))
    s_2.write(dict(x=['one', 'two', 'three'], y=nums, type='bar', marker=dict(color=["blue", "orange", "green"])))
    time.sleep(0.8)
s_1.close()
s_2.close()

You can see this stream live below:
