-#### Simple Annotated Heatmap
+### Annotated Heatmaps with plotly.express and px.imshow
+
+These examples use [px.imshow](/python/imshow) to create Annotated Heatmaps. px.imshow is the recommended way to create heatmaps with z-annotations.
+
+
+#### Basic Annotated Heatmap for z-annotations
+
+After creating a figure with `px.imshow`, you can add z-annotations with `.update_traces(texttemplate="%{z}")`.
+
+```python
+import plotly.express as px
+
+df = px.data.medals_wide(indexed=True)
+
+fig = px.imshow(df)
+fig.update_traces(texttemplate="%{z}")
+
+fig.show()
+```
+
+#### Custom Font
 
-This page details the use of a [figure factory](/python/figure-factories/). For more examples with Heatmaps, see [this page](/python/heatmaps/).
+You can make changes to the font using `textfont`. Here we set the font size to 20.
+
+```python
+import plotly.express as px
+
+df = px.data.medals_wide(indexed=True)
+
+fig = px.imshow(df)
+fig.update_traces(texttemplate="%{z}")
+fig.update_traces(textfont={"size":20})
+
+fig.show()

+### Color Bar Displayed Horizontally
+
+By default, color bars are displayed vertically. You can change a color bar to be displayed horizontally by setting the `colorbar` `orientation` attribute to `h`.

+
+import six.moves.urllib
+import json
+

 ### Sharing a Color Axis with Graph Objects
 
 To share colorscale information in multiple subplots, you can use [coloraxis](https://plotly.com/javascript/reference/scatter/#scatter-marker-line-coloraxis).
