I'm new to plotly.
Working with:
Ubuntu 20.04
Python 3.8.10
plotly==5.10.0
I'm doing a comparative graph using a horizontal bar chart. Different instruments measuring the same chemical compounds. I want to be able to do an at-a-glance, head-to-head comparison if the measured value amongst all machines.
The problem is; if the compound has the same name amongst the different instruments - Plotly stacks the data bars into a single bar with segment markers. I very much want each bar to appear individually. Is there a way to prevent Plotly Express from automatically stacking the common bars??
Examples:
CODE
gobardata = []
for blended_name in _df[:20].blended_name: # should always be unique
##################################
# Unaltered compound names
compound_names = [str(c) for c in _df[_df.blended_name == blended_name]["injcompound_name"].tolist()]
# Random number added to end of compound_names to make every string unique
# compound_names = ["{} ({})".format(str(c),random.randint(0, 1000)) for c in _df[_df.blended_name == blended_name]["injcompound_name"].tolist()]
##################################
deltas = _df[_df.blended_name == blended_name]["delta_rettime"].to_list()
gobardata.append(
go.Bar(
name = blended_name,
x = deltas,
y = compound_names,
orientation='h',
))
fig = go.Figure(data = gobardata)
fig.update_traces(width=1)
fig.update_layout(
bargap=1,
bargroupgap=.1,
xaxis_title="Delta Retention Time (Expected - actual)",
yaxis_title="Instrument name(Injection ID)"
)
fig.show()
What I'm getting (Using actual, but repeated, compound names)
What I want (Adding random text to each compound name to make it unique)
OK. Figured it out. This is probably pretty klugy, but it consistently works.
Basically...
Use go.FigureWidget...
...with make_subplots having a common x-axis...
...controlling the height of each subplot based on number of bars.
Every bar in each subplot is added as an individual trace...
...using a dictionary matching bar name to a common color.
The y-axis labels for each subplot is a list containing the machine name as [0], and then blank placeholders ('') so the length of the y-axis list matches the number of bars.
And manually manipulating the legend so each bar name appears only once.
# Get lists of total data
all_compounds = list(_df.injcompound_name.unique())
blended_names = list(_df.blended_name.unique())

I am trying to design a circos plot using BioCircos R package. BioCircos allows to save the plots as .html interactive files. However, when I run the package using RScript the saved .html file is empty. To save the .html file I used saveWidget option from htmlwidgets package. Is it something wrong with saveWidget option? The code I used follows:
#!/usr/bin/Rscript

I tried to use this script in RStudio (without saveWidget() command), however it took too long to run in my personnel computer and the results was not displayed. However, this could be due to memory usage setup because when I took off some data, the script easily generates the plot in RStudio and I am able to save it. Is there other way to save the .hmtl interactive files in R or am I doing something wrong using htmlwidgets package in my script?
Thanks all in advance for any help and comments.
When you said it took too long to run, that was a sign that something was wrong! You weren't getting anything when you used saveWidget, because there is nothing returned from BioCiros.
I found two things that are a problem. The first one will result in a blank output—you can't use a '.' in the element ID. This ID will be used in the HTML coding.
You were getting huge delays due to the scale you set for genomeTickScale. That scaling value is for a tick mark attribute. I'm not sure why you set it to .004. However, when I comment out that line, it renders immediately. I have no issues with saving the widget, either.
--One other thing, you had chra_chrb_genomes as the object name assigned to the parameter genome in the function BioCircos. I assumed it was the object genome from your question since it was the only unused object.
The only things I changed were in the BioCircos function:
(plot_chra_chrb <- BioCircos(tracklist, genome = genomes, #chra_chrb_genomes,
genomeFillColor = "RdBu",
chrPad = 0.02,
displayGenomeBorder = FALSE,
genomeLabelTextSize = "10pt",
# genomeTicksScale = 4e+3, # problematic
elementId = "chra_chrb_comp_plot_test" # no periods
))
I have a dataframe that has source: person 1, target: person 2 and in_rewards_program : binary.
I created a network using the pyvis package"
got_net = Network(notebook=True, height="750px", width="100%")
# got_net = Network(notebook=True, height="750px", width="100%", bgcolor="#222222", font_color="white")
# set the physics layout of the network
got_net.barnes_hut()
got_data = df
sources = got_data['source']
targets = got_data['target']
# create graph using pviz network
edge_data = zip(sources, targets)
for e in edge_data:
src = e[0]
dst = e[1]
#add nodes and edges to the graph
got_net.add_node(src, src, title=src)
got_net.add_node(dst, dst, title=dst)
got_net.add_edge(src, dst)
neighbor_map = got_net.get_adj_list()
# add neighbor data to node hover data
for node in got_net.nodes:
node["title"] += " Neighbors:<br>" + "<br>".join(neighbor_map[node["id"]])
node["value"] = len(neighbor_map[node["id"]]) # this value attrribute for the node affects node size
got_net.show("test.html")
I want to add the functionality where the nodes are different colors based on the value in in_rewards_program. If the source node has 0 then make the node red and if the source node had 1 then make it blue. I am not sure how to do this.
There is not much information to know more about your data but based on your code I can assume that you can zip "source" and "target" columns with "in_rewards_program" column and make a conditional statement before adding the nodes so that it will change the node color based on the reward value. According to pyvis documentation, you can pass a color parameter with add_node method:
got_net = Network(notebook=True, height="750px", width="100%")
# set the physics layout of the network
got_net.barnes_hut()
sources = df['source']
targets = df['target']
rewards = df['in_rewards_program']
# create graph using pviz network
edge_data = zip(sources, targets, rewards)
for src, dst, reward in edge_data:
#add nodes and edges to the graph
if reward == 0:
got_net.add_node(src, src, title=src, color='red')
if reward == 1:
got_net.add_node(dst, dst, title=dst, color='blue')
got_net.add_edge(src, dst)
In the now obsoleted Autodesk ReCap API it was possible to specify a "bounding box" around the scene to be generated from images.
In the resulting models, any vertices outside the bounding box were discarded, and any volumes that extended beyond the bounding box were truncated to have faces at the box boundaries.
I am now using Autodesk's Forge Reality Capture API which replaced ReCap. Apparently, This new API does not allow the user to specify a bounding box.
So I am now searching for a program that takes an .OBJ file and a specified bounding box as input, and outputs a file of just the vertices and faces within this bounding box.
Given that there is no way to specify the bounding box in Reality Capture API, I created this python program. It is crude, in that it only discards faces that have vertices that are outside the bounding box. And it actually does discards nondestructively, only by commenting them out in the output OBJ file. This allows you to uncomment them and then use a different bounding box.
This may not be what you need if you truly want to remove all relevant v, vn, vt, vp and f lines that are outside the bounding box, because the OBJ file size remains mostly unchanged. But for my particular needs, keeping all the records and just using comments was preferable.
# obj3Dcrop.py

# Changes and Enhancements must be shared with author, and be subject to same use terms
# TL;DR: This program uses a bounding box, and "crops" faces and vertices from a
# Wavefront .OBJ format file, created by Autodesk Forge Reality Capture API
# if one of the vertices in a face is not within the bounds of the box.
#
# METHOD
# 1) All lines other than "v" vertex definitions and "f" faces definitions
# are copied UNCHANGED from the input .OBJ file to an output .OBJ file.
# 2) All "v" vertex definition lines have their (x, y, z) positions tested to see if:
# minX < x < maxX and minY < y < maxY and minZ < z < maxZ ?
# If TRUE, we want to keep this vertex in the new OBJ, so we
# store its IMPLICIT ORDINAL position in the file in a dictionary called v_keepers.
# If FALSE, we will use its absence from the v_keepers file as a way to identify
# faces that contain it and drop them. All "v" lines are also copied unchanged to the
# output file.
# 3) All "f" lines (face definitions) are inspected to verify that all 3 vertices in the face
# are in the v_keepers list. If they are, the f line is output unchanged.
# 4) Any "f" line that refers to a vertex that was cropped, is prefixed by "# CROPPED: "
# in the output file. Lines beginning # are treated as comments, and ignored in future
# processing.
# KNOWN LIMITATIONS: This program generates models in which the outside of bound faces
# have been removed. The vertices that were found outside the bounding box, are still in the
# OBJ file, but they are now disconnected and therefore ignored in later processing.
# The "f" lines for faces with vertices outside the bounding box are also still in the
# output file, but now commented out, so they don't process. Because this is non-destructive.
# we can easily change our bounding box later, uncomment cropped lines and reprocess.
#
# This might be an incomplete solution for some potential users. For such users
# a more complete program would delete unneeded v, vn, vt and vp lines when the v vertex
# that they refer to is dropped. But note that this requires renumbering all references to these
# vertice definitions in the "f" face definition lines. Such a more complete solution would also
# DISCARD all 'f' lines with any vertices that are out of bounds, instead of making them copies.
# Such a rewritten .OBJ file would be var more compact, but changing the bounding box would require
# saving the pre-cropped original.
# QUIRK: The OBJ file format defines v, vn, vt, vp and f elements by their
# IMPLICIT ordinal occurrence in the file, with each element type maintaining
# its OWN separate sequence. It then references those definitions EXPLICITLY in
# f face definitions. So deleting (or commenting out) element references requires
# appropriate rewriting of all the"f"" lines tracking all the new implicit positions.
# Such rewriting is not particularly hard to do, but it is one more place to make
# a mistake, and could make the algorithm more complicated to understand.
# This program doesn't bother, because all further processing of the output
# OBJ file ignores unreferenced v, vn, vt and vp elements.
#
# Saving all lines rather than deleting them to save space is a tradeoff involving considerations of
# Undo capability, compute cycles, compute space (unreferenced lines) and maintenance complexity choice.
# It is left to the motivated programmer to add this complexity if needed.

I'm new to reinforcement learning, and I would like to process audio signal using this technique. I built a basic step function that I wish to flatten to get my hands on Gym OpenAI and reinforcement learning in general.
To do so, I am using the GoalEnv provided by OpenAI since I know what the target is, the flat signal.
That is the image with input and desired signal :
The step function calls _set_action which performs achieved_signal = convolution(input_signal,low_pass_filter) - offset, low_pass_filter takes a cutoff frequency as input as well.
Cutoff frequency and offset are the parameters that act on the observation to get the output signal.
The designed reward function returns the frame to frame L2-norm between the input signal and the desired signal, to the negative, to penalize a large norm.
Following is the environment I created:
def butter_lowpass(cutoff, nyq_freq, order=4):
normal_cutoff = float(cutoff) / nyq_freq
b, a = signal.butter(order, normal_cutoff, btype='lowpass')
return b, a
def butter_lowpass_filter(data, cutoff_freq, nyq_freq, order=4):
b, a = butter_lowpass(cutoff_freq, nyq_freq, order=order)
y = signal.filtfilt(b, a, data)
return y

))

env = gym.make('stepsignal-v0', input_signal=in_signal, sample_rate=sample_rate, desired_signal=y)

The agent is a DDPG Agent from keras-rl, since the actions can take any values in the continuous action_space described in the environment.
I wonder why the actor and critic nets need an input with an additional dimension, in input_shape=(1,) + env.observation_space.shape
nb_actions = env.action_space.shape[0]
# Building Actor agent (Policy-net)
actor = Sequential()
actor.add(Flatten(input_shape=(1,) + env.observation_space.shape, name='flatten'))
actor.add(Dense(128))
actor.add(Activation('relu'))
actor.add(Dense(64))
actor.add(Activation('relu'))
actor.add(Dense(nb_actions))
actor.add(Activation('linear'))
actor.summary()
# Building Critic net (Q-net)
action_input = Input(shape=(nb_actions,), name='action_input')
observation_input = Input(shape=(1,) + env.observation_space.shape, name='observation_input')
flattened_observation = Flatten()(observation_input)
x = Concatenate()([action_input, flattened_observation])
x = Dense(128)(x)
x = Activation('relu')(x)
x = Dense(64)(x)
x = Activation('relu')(x)
x = Dense(1)(x)
x = Activation('linear')(x)
critic = Model(inputs=[action_input, observation_input], outputs=x)
critic.summary()
# Building Keras agent
memory = SequentialMemory(limit=2000, window_length=1)
policy = BoltzmannQPolicy()
random_process = OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcess(size=nb_actions, theta=0.6, mu=0, sigma=0.3)
agent = DDPGAgent(nb_actions=nb_actions, actor=actor, critic=critic, critic_action_input=action_input,
memory=memory, nb_steps_warmup_critic=2000, nb_steps_warmup_actor=10000,
random_process=random_process, gamma=.99, target_model_update=1e-3)
agent.compile(Adam(lr=1e-3, clipnorm=1.), metrics=['mae'])
Finally, the agent is trained:
filename = 'mem20k_heaviside_flattening'
hist = agent.fit(env, nb_steps=10, visualize=False, verbose=2, nb_max_episode_steps=5)
with open('./history_dqn_test_'+ filename + '.pickle', 'wb') as handle:
pickle.dump(hist.history, handle, protocol=pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)
agent.save_weights('h5f_files/dqn_{}_weights.h5f'.format(filename), overwrite=True)
Now here is the catch: the agent seems to always be stuck to the same neighborhood of output values across all episodes for a same instance of my env:
The cumulated reward is negative since I just allowed the agent to get negative rewards. I used it from https://github.com/openai/gym/blob/master/gym/envs/robotics/fetch_env.py which is part of OpenAI code as example.
Across one episode, I should get varying sets of actions converging towards a (cutoff_final, offset_final) that would get my input step signal close to my output flat signal, which is clearly not the case. In addition, I thought, for successive episodes, I should get different actions.
I wonder why the actor and critic nets need an input with an additional dimension, in input_shape=(1,) + env.observation_space.shape
I think the GoalEnv is designed with HER (Hindsight Experience Replay) in mind, since it will use the "sub-spaces" inside the observation_space to learn from sparse reward signals (there is a paper in OpenAI website that explains how HER works). Haven't look at the implementation, but my guess is that there needs to be an additional input since HER also process the "goal" parameter.
Since it seems you are not using HER (works with any off-policy algorithm, including DQN, DDPG, etc), you should handcraft an informative reward function (rewards are not binary, eg, 1 if objective achieved, 0 otherwise) and use the base Env class. The reward should be calculated inside the step method, since rewards in MDP's are functions like r(s, a, s`) you probably will have all the information you need. Hope it helps.
