import plotly.express as px
 
df = pd.DataFrame({

    "score": [50, 55, 65, 70, 75, 78, 85, 52, 69, 77],
    "group": ["A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "B", "B", "B"],
})
 
fig = px.scatter(df, x="hours", y="score", color="group", title="Hours vs score")
fig.show()

fig = px.scatter(df, x="hours", y="score", color="group", title="Hours vs score")
fig.show()

Add trend line

Trend line
import plotly.express as px
 
fig = px.scatter(df, x="hours", y="score", color="group", trendline="ols", title="Trend line")
fig.show()

import plotly.express as px
 
fig = px.scatter(df, x="hours", y="score", color="group", trendline="ols", title="Trend line")
fig.show()

Tips

  • Use hover_data=[...]hover_data=[...] to show more context.
  • Trend lines can be sensitive to outliers.
