The Plotly class allows you to display a Plotly chart in the chatbot UI. This class takes a Plotly figure. The advantage of the Plotly element over the Pyplot element is that it’s interactive (the user can zoom on the chart for example).

​

Example

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import chainlit as cl


@cl.on_chat_start
async def start():
    fig = go.Figure(
        data=[go.Bar(y=[2, 1, 3])],
        layout_title_text="An example figure",
    )
    elements = [cl.Plotly(name="chart", figure=fig, display="inline")]

    await cl.Message(content="This message has a chart", elements=elements).send()
