How to update range_color in Plotly Express?

I am using plotly express and I want to display some data:
import plotly.express as px
dfx = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(dfx,
x='total_bill', y='tip',
color='size',
template='plotly_dark',
range_color=[2,4])
My goal is to update the range color after it has been defined.
I tried something like this:
fig.update_layout(range_color=[3,6])
ValueError: Invalid property specified for object of type plotly.graph_objs.Layout: 'range'
but without success.
Are you aware of what I need to write in order to update the range color values?

To change the range of the color bar, you would change the maximum and minimum values of the color axis. This is different from the description of the graph settings, which can be found in fig.layout.
import plotly.express as px
dfx = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(dfx,
x='total_bill', y='tip',
color='size',
template='plotly_dark',
range_color=[2,4])
fig.update_layout(coloraxis=dict(cmax=6, cmin=3))
fig.show()

I think you need to use range_color in the px.scatter function
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter(df,
x="sepal_width",
y="sepal_length",
color="sepal_length",
color_continuous_scale=["red",
"green", "blue"])
fig.show()
Here is a link to the documentation plotly
You can also look here at fig.update_coloraxes
update coloraxes
Also just found this in the documentation for update_layout
fig.update_layout(colorscale=dict(...))
update colorscale

Python Plotly Express Scatter Plot

I want to create an interactive scatter plot; so I am using the plotly.graph_objects module.
My data has two columns of about 100 points.
When I make a line plot, I have no problem.
But when I try to make a scatter plot, Jupyter seems to hang (message at the bottom says - Local Host not responding)
It takes a while for Jupyter to respond and I still have no plot.
The code I am using is:
import plotly.express as px
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
var_list = ['cloxth1 ()','cloxth2 ()']
for item in var_list:
stripped_item = item.replace(' ()','')
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
x=np.linspace(0,len(df),len(df)),
y=df[item],
mode='markers',
marker={'size':1},
name = item
))
fig.update_layout(title = 'CLOXTH',
xaxis_title = 'data samples',
yaxis_title = 'mV')
fig.show()
Is there anything wrong with the way I am using go.Scatter?
I tried using px.scatter instead. It seems to work, as in I get a scatter plot. But in the plotly.express case I am unable to have a proper legend for 'cloxth1' and 'cloxth2'; also, both data sets are plotted with the same color.
How can I get around this?
A few rows from the data:

Plotly graph_objects add df column to hovertemplate

I am trying to generally recreate this graph and struggling with adding a column to the hovertemplate of a plotly Scatter. Here is a working example:
import pandas as pd
import chart_studio.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objects as go
dfs = pd.read_html('https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality', header=0)
df = dfs[0]
percent = df['Case-Fatality'] # This is my closest guess, but isn't working
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter(x=df['Confirmed'],
y = df['Deaths'],
mode='markers',
hovertext=df['Country'],
hoverlabel=dict(namelength=0),
hovertemplate = '%{hovertext}<br>Confirmed: %{x}<br>Fatalities: %{y}<br>%{percent}',
))
fig.show()
I'd like to get the column Cast-Fatality to show under {percent}
I've also tried putting in the Scatter() call a line for text = [df['Case-Fatality']], and switching {percent} to {text} as shown in this example, but this doesn't pull from the dataframe as hoped.
I've tried replotting it as a px, following this example but it throws the error dictionary changed size during iteration and I think using go may be simpler than px but I'm new to plotly.
Thanks in advance for any insight for how to add a column to the hover.

As the question asks for a solution with graph_objects, here are two that work-
Method (i)
Adding %{text} where you want the variable value to be and passing another variable called text that is a list of values needed in the go.Scatter() call. Like this-
percent = df['Case-Fatality']
hovertemplate = '%{hovertext}<br>Confirmed: %{x}<br>Fatalities: %{y}<br>%{text}',text = percent
Here is the complete code-
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go
dfs = pd.read_html('https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality', header=0)
df = dfs[0]
percent = df['Case-Fatality'] # This is my closest guess, but isn't working
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter(x=df['Confirmed'],
y = df['Deaths'],
mode='markers',
hovertext=df['Country'],
hoverlabel=dict(namelength=0),
hovertemplate = '%{hovertext}<br>Confirmed: %{x}<br>Fatalities: %{y}<br>%{text}',
text = percent))
fig.show()
Method (ii)
This solution requires you to see the hoverlabel as when you pass x unified to hovermode. All you need to do then is pass an invisible trace with the same x-axis and the desired y-axis values. Passing mode='none' makes it invisible. Here is the complete code-
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go
dfs = pd.read_html('https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality', header=0)
df = dfs[0]
percent = df['Case-Fatality'] # This is my closest guess, but isn't working
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Scatter(x=df['Confirmed'],
y = df['Deaths'],
mode='markers',
hovertext=df['Country'],
hoverlabel=dict(namelength=0)))
fig.add_scatter(x=df.Confirmed, y=percent, mode='none')
fig.update_layout(hovermode='x unified')
fig.show()

The link you shared is broken. Are you looking for something like this?
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
px.scatter(df,
x="Confirmed",
y="Deaths",
hover_name="Country",
hover_data={"Case-Fatality":True})
Then if you need to use bold or change your hover_template you can follow the last step in this answer

Drawing inspiration from another SO question/answer, I find that this is working as desired and permits adding multiple cols to the hover data:
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.scatter(df,
x="Confirmed",
y="Deaths",
hover_name="Country",
hover_data=[df['Case-Fatality'], df['Deaths/100K pop.']])
fig.show()

plotly 2 or more column based subplot

I am new to plotly and wanted to visualize some data. I got this plot. see here
But I want to get this in 2 or more column based so that it can be seen better.
Can someone help me with that. Here is my source code what I have tried:
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.scatter(data2, x = "Total_System_Cost", y= "Total_CO2_Emissions",
color="Pol_Inst", symbol="Pol_Inst",
facet_row='Technologie',width=600, height=3500)
fig.show()
And the data looks like this.here

In this case you should use facet_col and facet_col_wrap as in this example
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.scatter(data2,
x="Total_System_Cost",
y="Total_CO2_Emissions",
color="Pol_Inst",
symbol="Pol_Inst",
facet_col='Technologie',
facet_col_wrap=2, #eventually change this
)
fig.show()
If you then want to use width and height do it so according to data2['Technologie'].nunique() and the value you picked for facet_col_wrap.

Plotly: How to make line charts colored by a variable using plotly.graph_objects?

I'm making a line chart below. I want to make the lines colored by a variable Continent. I know it can be done easily using plotly.express
Does anyone know how I can do that with plotly.graph_objects? I tried to add color=gapminder['Continent'], but it did not work.
Thanks a lot for help in advance.
import plotly.express as px
gapminder = px.data.gapminder()
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=gapminder['year'], y=gapminder['lifeExp'],
mode='lines+markers'))
fig.show()

Using an approach like color=gapminder['Continent'] normally applies to scatterplots where you define categories to existing points using a third variable. You're trying to make a line plot here. This means that not only will you have a color per continent, but also a line per continent. If that is in fact what you're aiming to do, here's one approach:
Plot:
Code:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px
# get data
df_gapminder = px.data.gapminder()
# manage data
df_gapminder_continent = df_gapminder.groupby(['continent', 'year']).mean().reset_index()
df = df_gapminder_continent.pivot(index='year', columns='continent', values = 'lifeExp')
df.tail()
# plotly setup and traces
fig = go.Figure()
for col in df.columns:
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=df.index, y=df[col].values,
name = col,
mode = 'lines'))
# format and show figure
fig.update_layout(height=800, width=1000)
fig.show()
