How to Save Multiple Plotly Plots Without Jupyter Notebook Crashing

If you're a data enthusiast or a developer using Jupyter Notebook, you've likely encountered the challenge of rendering multiple Plotly plots. While visualizations are crucial in data analysis, storing too many figures can overwhelm the notebook, leading to crashes. This guide will provide you with an effective solution to save multiple plots without overloading your Jupyter Notebook's memory.

The Problem: Jupyter Notebook Crashing

When working with multiple visualizations, you may experience performance issues that lead to your Jupyter Notebook crashing. Typically, this can occur due to memory overload caused by storing many plot objects in your session’s memory. If you've tried to visualize multiple plots using the following code snippet, you might understand the underlying problem:

Storing each figure in a dictionary consumes significant memory, leading to performance bottlenecks and potential crashes.

The Solution: Save Every Plot Iteratively

Instead of retaining all plot objects in memory, consider saving each plot immediately as you generate it. This method reduces the memory footprint, allowing you to maintain smoother performance in your notebook. Here’s how you can implement this strategy effectively:

Step-by-Step Guide

Define Your Features: Start by identifying the features you want to plot.

Generate and Save Plots: Loop through each feature, create a plot using Plotly, and save each one as an HTML file. This avoids the need to keep all plots in memory.

Code Example: Here’s the adapted code that demonstrates these steps:

Explanation of the Code

Looping Through Features: The code iterates through each feature you wish to plot.

Generating Figures: It generates a scatter plot for each feature against ‘danceability’ while distinguishing by genre.

Saving Each Plot: Instead of holding onto each plot object, they are saved directly to files named plot_energy.html, plot_loudness.html, etc. This approach frees memory after each plot is created, preventing crashes.

Additional Tips

Use File Formats Wisely: Choose the file format that best suits your needs. HTML files offer interactive visualization, making them preferable for broader distribution.

Clean Up Memory: Consider using Python's del statement to remove plot variables if needed, but this typically isn't necessary if you're saving plots directly to files.

Conclusion

Having a method to save multiple Plotly plots without crashing your Jupyter Notebook is essential for any data analyst or developer. By saving plots iteratively, you not only optimize memory usage but also streamline your workflow. Following this guide will allow you to generate and store your visualizations efficiently, thus enhancing your data visualization experience.

Now, go ahead and start saving your plots efficiently, ensuring that you avoid the unwelcome interruptions of unexpected crashes!
