Plotly Dash heatmap, linked to 2 dropdowns-CodePudding

how is it possible to create an application in plotly dash, in which i want to create a heatmap linked to 2 dropdowns? The dropdowns are reading from a Pandas DF, ‘my_dropdown1’ and ‘my_dropdown2’.

CodePudding user response：

I think a good example of this case is in the Dash documentation: basic callbacks, Dash App With Multiple Inputs. https://dash.plotly.com/basic-callbacks

This example has 2 dropdowns and 2 radio buttons. And the graph created is a scatter plot. You could reformat this example to create a heat map and use two drop downs.
