I'm running the code below in Spyder 4.1.1 but the window that should contain the visualization doesn't appear. I am new to plotly. Please help.
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.scatter(x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], y=[0, 1, 4, 9, 16])
fig.show()

My environment: The graph was displayed correctly in jupiter lab(mac), is it not a problem on the Spyder side?r-beginners– r-beginners2020-04-07 09:11:52 +00:00Commented Apr 7, 2020 at 9:11

@quantum_engineer, I managed to get a static plot in Spyder too (by installing the dependencies and specifying 'iframe' as the renderer)Dean– Dean2020-04-08 09:07:24 +00:00Commented Apr 8, 2020 at 9:07

To get you started quickly, you can set 'browser' as your renderer and launch your plotly figures in your default web browser. To my knowledge, this is the best way to produce plotly figures from Spyder and obtain the full flexibility of plotly figures (subsetting, zooming, etc).
Code:
import plotly.io as pio
import plotly.express as px
pio.renderers.default='browser'
fig = px.scatter(x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], y=[0, 1, 4, 9, 16])
fig.show()
Figure in browser:

If you prefer to display in Spyder and not in your browser, you may need to install Orca. In your Anaconda terminal, use:
conda install -c plotly plotly-orca
From there, you should be able to use your previous code. Setting the default renderer explicitly could help, too:
import plotly.io as pio
import plotly.express as px
pio.renderers.default = "svg"
fig = px.scatter(x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4], y=[0, 1, 4, 9, 16])
fig.show()

*** As of plotly 4.9, orca has been deprecated and replaced by the
kaleido library, which can be installed as pip install kaleido.

Had same issue. The orca solution worked fine for me. However have just spotted the comment re kaleido so I will investigate that also. Thanks all.....
For plotly plots to appear in Spyder, a static image renderer is used. For that you need to have the required dependencies installed. This is detailed in the plotly renderer page.

Regarding to working with kaleido, currently, there is an issue with version 0.2.1. Need downgrade to kaleido 0.1.*. See https://github.com/plotly/Kaleido/issues/110
