# Overview
Kaleido is a cross-platform Python library for generating static images
(e.g. png, svg, pdf, etc.) for Plotly.js, to be used by Plotly.py.

## Installation

Kaleido can be installed from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/kaleido) using `pip`:

```bash
$ pip install kaleido --upgrade
```

As of version 1.0.0, Kaleido requires Chrome to be installed. If you already have
Chrome on your system, Kaleido should find it; otherwise, you can install
a compatible Chrome version using the `kaleido_get_chrome` command:

```bash
$ kaleido_get_chrome
```

or function in Python:

```python
import kaleido
kaleido.get_chrome_sync()
```

## Migrating from v0 to v1

Kaleido v1 introduces a new API. If you're currently using v0, you'll need
to make changes to your code and environment where you are running Kaleido.

- If using Kaleido v1 with Plotly.py, you will need to install
Plotly.py v6.1.1 or later.
- Chrome is no longer included with Kaleido. Kaleido will look for an existing Chrome
installation, but also provides commands for installing Chrome.
If you don't have Chrome, you'll need to install it.
See the installation section above for instructions.
- If your code uses Kaleido directly: `kaleido.scopes.plotly` has been
removed in v1.
Kaleido v1 provides `write_fig` and `write_fig_sync` for exporting Plotly figures.

```python
from kaleido import write_fig_sync
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter(y=[1, 3, 2])])
kaleido.write_fig_sync(fig, path="figure.png")
```

## Development guide

Below are examples of how to use Kaleido directly in your Python program.

If you want to export images of Plotly charts, it's not necessary to call
Kaleido directly; you can use functions in the Plotly library.
[See the Plotly documentation for instructions.](https://plotly.com/python/static-image-export/)

### Usage examples

```python
import kaleido

async with kaleido.Kaleido(n=4, timeout=90) as k:
  # n is number of processes
  await k.write_fig(fig, path="./", opts={"format":"jpg"})

# other `kaleido.Kaleido` arguments:
# page:  Change library version (see PageGenerators below)

# `Kaleido.write_fig()` arguments:
# - fig:       A single plotly figure or an iterable.
# - path:      A directory (names auto-generated based on title)
#              or a single file.
# - opts:      A dictionary with image options:
#              `{"scale":..., "format":..., "width":..., "height":...}`
# - error_log: If you pass a list here, image-generation errors will be appended
#              to the list and generation continues. If left as `None`, the
#              first error will cause failure.

# You can also use Kaleido.write_fig_from_object:
  await k.write_fig_from_object(fig_objects, error_log)
# where `fig_objects` is a dict to be expanded to the fig, path, opts arguments.
```

There are shortcut functions which can be used to generate images without
creating a `Kaleido()` object:

```python
import asyncio
import kaleido
asyncio.run(
  kaleido.write_fig(
    fig,
    path="./",
    n=4
  )
)
```

### PageGenerators

The `page` argument takes a `kaleido.PageGenerator()` to customize versions.
Normally, kaleido looks for an installed plotly as uses that version. You can pass
`kaleido.PageGenerator(force_cdn=True)` to force use of a CDN version of plotly (the
default if plotly is not installed).

```
my_page = kaleido.PageGenerator(
  plotly="A fully qualified link to plotly (https:// or file://)",
  mathjax=False # no mathjax, or another fully quality link
  others=["a list of other script links to include"]
)
```
