  • fillcolor - Sets the color filling the active selection' interior.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the active selection.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Activeshape([fillcolor=], [opacity=]) → Activeshape

Create a new ‘Activeshape’ object

  • fillcolor - Sets the color filling the active shape' interior.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the active shape.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Annotation([_deprecated=], [align=], [arrowcolor=], [arrowhead=], [arrowside=], [arrowsize=], [arrowwidth=], [ax=], [axref=], [ay=], [ayref=], [bgcolor=], [bordercolor=], [borderpad=], [borderwidth=], [captureevents=], [clicktoshow=], [font=], [height=], [hoverlabel=], [hovertext=], [name=], [opacity=], [showarrow=], [standoff=], [startarrowhead=], [startarrowsize=], [startstandoff=], [templateitemname=], [text=], [textangle=], [valign=], [visible=], [width=], [x=], [xanchor=], [xclick=], [xref=], [xshift=], [y=], [yanchor=], [yclick=], [yref=], [yshift=]) → Annotation

Create a new ‘Annotation’ object

  • align - Sets the horizontal alignment of the `text` within the box. Has an effect only if `text` spans two or more lines (i.e. `text` contains one or more <br> HTML tags) or if an explicit width is set to override the text width.

  • arrowcolor - Sets the color of the annotation arrow.

  • arrowhead - Sets the end annotation arrow head style.

  • arrowside - Sets the annotation arrow head position.

  • arrowsize - Sets the size of the end annotation arrow head, relative to `arrowwidth`. A value of 1 (default) gives a head about 3x as wide as the line.

  • arrowwidth - Sets the width (in px) of annotation arrow line.

  • ax - Sets the x component of the arrow tail about the arrow head. If `axref` is `pixel`, a positive (negative) component corresponds to an arrow pointing from right to left (left to right). If `axref` is not `pixel` and is exactly the same as `xref`, this is an absolute value on that axis, like `x`, specified in the same coordinates as `xref`.

  • axref - Indicates in what coordinates the tail of the annotation (ax,ay) is specified. If set to a x axis id (e.g. *x* or *x2*), the `x` position refers to a x coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `x` position refers to the distance from the left of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the left (right). If set to a x axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the left of the domain of that axis: e.g., *x2 domain* refers to the domain of the second x axis and a x position of 0.5 refers to the point between the left and the right of the domain of the second x axis. In order for absolute positioning of the arrow to work, *axref* must be exactly the same as *xref*, otherwise *axref* will revert to *pixel* (explained next). For relative positioning, *axref* can be set to *pixel*, in which case the *ax* value is specified in pixels relative to *x*. Absolute positioning is useful for trendline annotations which should continue to indicate the correct trend when zoomed. Relative positioning is useful for specifying the text offset for an annotated point.

  • ay - Sets the y component of the arrow tail about the arrow head. If `ayref` is `pixel`, a positive (negative) component corresponds to an arrow pointing from bottom to top (top to bottom). If `ayref` is not `pixel` and is exactly the same as `yref`, this is an absolute value on that axis, like `y`, specified in the same coordinates as `yref`.

  • ayref - Indicates in what coordinates the tail of the annotation (ax,ay) is specified. If set to a y axis id (e.g. *y* or *y2*), the `y` position refers to a y coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `y` position refers to the distance from the bottom of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the bottom (top). If set to a y axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the bottom of the domain of that axis: e.g., *y2 domain* refers to the domain of the second y axis and a y position of 0.5 refers to the point between the bottom and the top of the domain of the second y axis. In order for absolute positioning of the arrow to work, *ayref* must be exactly the same as *yref*, otherwise *ayref* will revert to *pixel* (explained next). For relative positioning, *ayref* can be set to *pixel*, in which case the *ay* value is specified in pixels relative to *y*. Absolute positioning is useful for trendline annotations which should continue to indicate the correct trend when zoomed. Relative positioning is useful for specifying the text offset for an annotated point.

  • bgcolor - Sets the background color of the annotation.

  • bordercolor - Sets the color of the border enclosing the annotation `text`.

  • borderpad - Sets the padding (in px) between the `text` and the enclosing border.

  • borderwidth - Sets the width (in px) of the border enclosing the annotation `text`.

  • captureevents - Determines whether the annotation text box captures mouse move and click events, or allows those events to pass through to data points in the plot that may be behind the annotation. By default `captureevents` is *false* unless `hovertext` is provided. If you use the event `plotly_clickannotation` without `hovertext` you must explicitly enable `captureevents`.

  • clicktoshow - Makes this annotation respond to clicks on the plot. If you click a data point that exactly matches the `x` and `y` values of this annotation, and it is hidden (visible: false), it will appear. In *onoff* mode, you must click the same point again to make it disappear, so if you click multiple points, you can show multiple annotations. In *onout* mode, a click anywhere else in the plot (on another data point or not) will hide this annotation. If you need to show/hide this annotation in response to different `x` or `y` values, you can set `xclick` and/or `yclick`. This is useful for example to label the side of a bar. To label markers though, `standoff` is preferred over `xclick` and `yclick`.

  • font - Sets the annotation text font.

  • height - Sets an explicit height for the text box. null (default) lets the text set the box height. Taller text will be clipped.

  • hovertext - Sets text to appear when hovering over this annotation. If omitted or blank, no hover label will appear.

  • name - When used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the annotation (text + arrow).

  • showarrow - Determines whether or not the annotation is drawn with an arrow. If *true*, `text` is placed near the arrow's tail. If *false*, `text` lines up with the `x` and `y` provided.

  • standoff - Sets a distance, in pixels, to move the end arrowhead away from the position it is pointing at, for example to point at the edge of a marker independent of zoom. Note that this shortens the arrow from the `ax` / `ay` vector, in contrast to `xshift` / `yshift` which moves everything by this amount.

  • startarrowhead - Sets the start annotation arrow head style.

  • startarrowsize - Sets the size of the start annotation arrow head, relative to `arrowwidth`. A value of 1 (default) gives a head about 3x as wide as the line.

  • startstandoff - Sets a distance, in pixels, to move the start arrowhead away from the position it is pointing at, for example to point at the edge of a marker independent of zoom. Note that this shortens the arrow from the `ax` / `ay` vector, in contrast to `xshift` / `yshift` which moves everything by this amount.

  • templateitemname - Used to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.

  • text - Sets the text associated with this annotation. Plotly uses a subset of HTML tags to do things like newline (<br>), bold (<b></b>), italics (<i></i>), hyperlinks (<a href='...'></a>). Tags <em>, <sup>, <sub> <span> are also supported.

  • textangle - Sets the angle at which the `text` is drawn with respect to the horizontal.

  • valign - Sets the vertical alignment of the `text` within the box. Has an effect only if an explicit height is set to override the text height.

  • visible - Determines whether or not this annotation is visible.

  • width - Sets an explicit width for the text box. null (default) lets the text set the box width. Wider text will be clipped. There is no automatic wrapping; use <br> to start a new line.

  • x - Sets the annotation's x position. If the axis `type` is *log*, then you must take the log of your desired range. If the axis `type` is *date*, it should be date strings, like date data, though Date objects and unix milliseconds will be accepted and converted to strings. If the axis `type` is *category*, it should be numbers, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.

  • xanchor - Sets the text box's horizontal position anchor This anchor binds the `x` position to the *left*, *center* or *right* of the annotation. For example, if `x` is set to 1, `xref` to *paper* and `xanchor` to *right* then the right-most portion of the annotation lines up with the right-most edge of the plotting area. If *auto*, the anchor is equivalent to *center* for data-referenced annotations or if there is an arrow, whereas for paper-referenced with no arrow, the anchor picked corresponds to the closest side.

  • xclick - Toggle this annotation when clicking a data point whose `x` value is `xclick` rather than the annotation's `x` value.

  • xref - Sets the annotation's x coordinate axis. If set to a x axis id (e.g. *x* or *x2*), the `x` position refers to a x coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `x` position refers to the distance from the left of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the left (right). If set to a x axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the left of the domain of that axis: e.g., *x2 domain* refers to the domain of the second x axis and a x position of 0.5 refers to the point between the left and the right of the domain of the second x axis.

  • xshift - Shifts the position of the whole annotation and arrow to the right (positive) or left (negative) by this many pixels.

  • y - Sets the annotation's y position. If the axis `type` is *log*, then you must take the log of your desired range. If the axis `type` is *date*, it should be date strings, like date data, though Date objects and unix milliseconds will be accepted and converted to strings. If the axis `type` is *category*, it should be numbers, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.

  • yanchor - Sets the text box's vertical position anchor This anchor binds the `y` position to the *top*, *middle* or *bottom* of the annotation. For example, if `y` is set to 1, `yref` to *paper* and `yanchor` to *top* then the top-most portion of the annotation lines up with the top-most edge of the plotting area. If *auto*, the anchor is equivalent to *middle* for data-referenced annotations or if there is an arrow, whereas for paper-referenced with no arrow, the anchor picked corresponds to the closest side.

  • yclick - Toggle this annotation when clicking a data point whose `y` value is `yclick` rather than the annotation's `y` value.

  • yref - Sets the annotation's y coordinate axis. If set to a y axis id (e.g. *y* or *y2*), the `y` position refers to a y coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `y` position refers to the distance from the bottom of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the bottom (top). If set to a y axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the bottom of the domain of that axis: e.g., *y2 domain* refers to the domain of the second y axis and a y position of 0.5 refers to the point between the bottom and the top of the domain of the second y axis.

  • yshift - Shifts the position of the whole annotation and arrow up (positive) or down (negative) by this many pixels.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Coloraxis([autocolorscale=], [cauto=], [cmax=], [cmid=], [cmin=], [colorbar=], [colorscale=], [reversescale=], [showscale=]) → Coloraxis

Create a new ‘Coloraxis’ object

  • autocolorscale - Determines whether the colorscale is a default palette (`autocolorscale: true`) or the palette determined by `colorscale`. In case `colorscale` is unspecified or `autocolorscale` is true, the default palette will be chosen according to whether numbers in the `color` array are all positive, all negative or mixed.

  • cauto - Determines whether or not the color domain is computed with respect to the input data (here corresponding trace color array(s)) or the bounds set in `cmin` and `cmax` Defaults to `false` when `cmin` and `cmax` are set by the user.

  • cmax - Sets the upper bound of the color domain. Value should have the same units as corresponding trace color array(s) and if set, `cmin` must be set as well.

  • cmid - Sets the mid-point of the color domain by scaling `cmin` and/or `cmax` to be equidistant to this point. Value should have the same units as corresponding trace color array(s). Has no effect when `cauto` is `false`.

  • cmin - Sets the lower bound of the color domain. Value should have the same units as corresponding trace color array(s) and if set, `cmax` must be set as well.

  • colorscale - Sets the colorscale. The colorscale must be an array containing arrays mapping a normalized value to an rgb, rgba, hex, hsl, hsv, or named color string. At minimum, a mapping for the lowest (0) and highest (1) values are required. For example, `[[0, 'rgb(0,0,255)'], [1, 'rgb(255,0,0)']]`. To control the bounds of the colorscale in color space, use `cmin` and `cmax`. Alternatively, `colorscale` may be a palette name string of the following list: Blackbody,Bluered,Blues,Cividis,Earth,Electric,Greens,Greys,Hot,Jet,Picnic,Portland,Rainbow,RdBu,Reds,Viridis,YlGnBu,YlOrRd.

  • reversescale - Reverses the color mapping if true. If true, `cmin` will correspond to the last color in the array and `cmax` will correspond to the first color.

  • showscale - Determines whether or not a colorbar is displayed for this trace.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Colorscale([diverging=], [sequential=], [sequentialminus=]) → Colorscale

Create a new ‘Colorscale’ object

  • diverging - Sets the default diverging colorscale. Note that `autocolorscale` must be true for this attribute to work.

  • sequential - Sets the default sequential colorscale for positive values. Note that `autocolorscale` must be true for this attribute to work.

  • sequentialminus - Sets the default sequential colorscale for negative values. Note that `autocolorscale` must be true for this attribute to work.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Font([color=], [family=], [size=]) → Font

Create a new ‘Font’ object

  • family - HTML font family - the typeface that will be applied by the web browser. The web browser will only be able to apply a font if it is available on the system which it operates. Provide multiple font families, separated by commas, to indicate the preference in which to apply fonts if they aren't available on the system. The Chart Studio Cloud (at https://chart-studio.plotly.com or on-premise) generates images on a server, where only a select number of fonts are installed and supported. These include *Arial*, *Balto*, *Courier New*, *Droid Sans*,, *Droid Serif*, *Droid Sans Mono*, *Gravitas One*, *Old Standard TT*, *Open Sans*, *Overpass*, *PT Sans Narrow*, *Raleway*, *Times New Roman*.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Geo([bgcolor=], [center=], [coastlinecolor=], [coastlinewidth=], [countrycolor=], [countrywidth=], [domain=], [fitbounds=], [framecolor=], [framewidth=], [lakecolor=], [landcolor=], [lataxis=], [lonaxis=], [oceancolor=], [projection=], [resolution=], [rivercolor=], [riverwidth=], [scope=], [showcoastlines=], [showcountries=], [showframe=], [showlakes=], [showland=], [showocean=], [showrivers=], [showsubunits=], [subunitcolor=], [subunitwidth=], [uirevision=], [visible=]) → Geo

  • coastlinewidth - Sets the coastline stroke width (in px).

  • countrycolor - Sets line color of the country boundaries.

  • countrywidth - Sets line width (in px) of the country boundaries.

  • fitbounds - Determines if this subplot's view settings are auto-computed to fit trace data. On scoped maps, setting `fitbounds` leads to `center.lon` and `center.lat` getting auto-filled. On maps with a non-clipped projection, setting `fitbounds` leads to `center.lon`, `center.lat`, and `projection.rotation.lon` getting auto-filled. On maps with a clipped projection, setting `fitbounds` leads to `center.lon`, `center.lat`, `projection.rotation.lon`, `projection.rotation.lat`, `lonaxis.range` and `lonaxis.range` getting auto-filled. If *locations*, only the trace's visible locations are considered in the `fitbounds` computations. If *geojson*, the entire trace input `geojson` (if provided) is considered in the `fitbounds` computations, Defaults to *false*.

  • framecolor - Sets the color the frame.

  • framewidth - Sets the stroke width (in px) of the frame.

  • lakecolor - Sets the color of the lakes.

  • landcolor - Sets the land mass color.

  • oceancolor - Sets the ocean color

plotly.graph_objs.layout.Grid([columns=], [domain=], [pattern=], [roworder=], [rows=], [subplots=], [xaxes=], [xgap=], [xside=], [yaxes=], [ygap=], [yside=]) → Grid

Create a new ‘Grid’ object

  • columns - The number of columns in the grid. If you provide a 2D `subplots` array, the length of its longest row is used as the default. If you give an `xaxes` array, its length is used as the default. But it's also possible to have a different length, if you want to leave a row at the end for non-cartesian subplots.

  • pattern - If no `subplots`, `xaxes`, or `yaxes` are given but we do have `rows` and `columns`, we can generate defaults using consecutive axis IDs, in two ways: *coupled* gives one x axis per column and one y axis per row. *independent* uses a new xy pair for each cell, left-to-right across each row then iterating rows according to `roworder`.

  • roworder - Is the first row the top or the bottom? Note that columns are always enumerated from left to right.

  • rows - The number of rows in the grid. If you provide a 2D `subplots` array or a `yaxes` array, its length is used as the default. But it's also possible to have a different length, if you want to leave a row at the end for non-cartesian subplots.

  • subplots - Used for freeform grids, where some axes may be shared across subplots but others are not. Each entry should be a cartesian subplot id, like *xy* or *x3y2*, or ** to leave that cell empty. You may reuse x axes within the same column, and y axes within the same row. Non-cartesian subplots and traces that support `domain` can place themselves in this grid separately using the `gridcell` attribute.

  • xaxes - Used with `yaxes` when the x and y axes are shared across columns and rows. Each entry should be an x axis id like *x*, *x2*, etc., or ** to not put an x axis in that column. Entries other than ** must be unique. Ignored if `subplots` is present. If missing but `yaxes` is present, will generate consecutive IDs.

  • xgap - Horizontal space between grid cells, expressed as a fraction of the total width available to one cell. Defaults to 0.1 for coupled-axes grids and 0.2 for independent grids.

  • xside - Sets where the x axis labels and titles go. *bottom* means the very bottom of the grid. *bottom plot* is the lowest plot that each x axis is used in. *top* and *top plot* are similar.

  • yaxes - Used with `yaxes` when the x and y axes are shared across columns and rows. Each entry should be an y axis id like *y*, *y2*, etc., or ** to not put a y axis in that row. Entries other than ** must be unique. Ignored if `subplots` is present. If missing but `xaxes` is present, will generate consecutive IDs.

  • ygap - Vertical space between grid cells, expressed as a fraction of the total height available to one cell. Defaults to 0.1 for coupled-axes grids and 0.3 for independent grids.

  • yside - Sets where the y axis labels and titles go. *left* means the very left edge of the grid. *left plot* is the leftmost plot that each y axis is used in. *right* and *right plot* are similar.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Hoverlabel([align=], [bgcolor=], [bordercolor=], [font=], [grouptitlefont=], [namelength=]) → Hoverlabel

Create a new ‘Hoverlabel’ object

  • align - Sets the horizontal alignment of the text content within hover label box. Has an effect only if the hover label text spans more two or more lines

  • bgcolor - Sets the background color of all hover labels on graph

  • bordercolor - Sets the border color of all hover labels on graph.

  • font - Sets the default hover label font used by all traces on the graph.

  • grouptitlefont - Sets the font for group titles in hover (unified modes). Defaults to `hoverlabel.font`.

  • namelength - Sets the default length (in number of characters) of the trace name in the hover labels for all traces. -1 shows the whole name regardless of length. 0-3 shows the first 0-3 characters, and an integer >3 will show the whole name if it is less than that many characters, but if it is longer, will truncate to `namelength - 3` characters and add an ellipsis.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Image([layer=], [name=], [opacity=], [sizex=], [sizey=], [sizing=], [source=], [templateitemname=], [visible=], [x=], [xanchor=], [xref=], [y=], [yanchor=], [yref=]) → Image

Create a new ‘Image’ object

  • layer - Specifies whether images are drawn below or above traces. When `xref` and `yref` are both set to `paper`, image is drawn below the entire plot area.

  • name - When used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the image.

  • sizex - Sets the image container size horizontally. The image will be sized based on the `position` value. When `xref` is set to `paper`, units are sized relative to the plot width. When `xref` ends with ` domain`, units are sized relative to the axis width.

  • sizey - Sets the image container size vertically. The image will be sized based on the `position` value. When `yref` is set to `paper`, units are sized relative to the plot height. When `yref` ends with ` domain`, units are sized relative to the axis height.

  • sizing - Specifies which dimension of the image to constrain.

  • source - Specifies the URL of the image to be used. The URL must be accessible from the domain where the plot code is run, and can be either relative or absolute.

  • templateitemname - Used to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.

  • visible - Determines whether or not this image is visible.

  • x - Sets the image's x position. When `xref` is set to `paper`, units are sized relative to the plot height. See `xref` for more info

  • xanchor - Sets the anchor for the x position

  • xref - Sets the images's x coordinate axis. If set to a x axis id (e.g. *x* or *x2*), the `x` position refers to a x coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `x` position refers to the distance from the left of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the left (right). If set to a x axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the left of the domain of that axis: e.g., *x2 domain* refers to the domain of the second x axis and a x position of 0.5 refers to the point between the left and the right of the domain of the second x axis.

  • y - Sets the image's y position. When `yref` is set to `paper`, units are sized relative to the plot height. See `yref` for more info

  • yanchor - Sets the anchor for the y position.

  • yref - Sets the images's y coordinate axis. If set to a y axis id (e.g. *y* or *y2*), the `y` position refers to a y coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `y` position refers to the distance from the bottom of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the bottom (top). If set to a y axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the bottom of the domain of that axis: e.g., *y2 domain* refers to the domain of the second y axis and a y position of 0.5 refers to the point between the bottom and the top of the domain of the second y axis.


plotly.graph_objs.layout.Legend([bgcolor=], [bordercolor=], [borderwidth=], [entrywidth=], [entrywidthmode=], [font=], [groupclick=], [grouptitlefont=], [itemclick=], [itemdoubleclick=], [itemsizing=], [itemwidth=], [orientation=], [title=], [tracegroupgap=], [traceorder=], [uirevision=], [valign=], [x=], [xanchor=], [y=], [yanchor=]) → Legend

  • bordercolor - Sets the color of the border enclosing the legend.

  • borderwidth - Sets the width (in px) of the border enclosing the legend.

  • entrywidth - Sets the width (in px or fraction) of the legend. Use 0 to size the entry based on the text width, when `entrywidthmode` is set to *pixels*.

  • entrywidthmode - Determines what entrywidth means.

  • font - Sets the font used to text the legend items.

  • groupclick - Determines the behavior on legend group item click. *toggleitem* toggles the visibility of the individual item clicked on the graph. *togglegroup* toggles the visibility of all items in the same legendgroup as the item clicked on the graph.

  • grouptitlefont - Sets the font for group titles in legend. Defaults to `legend.font` with its size increased about 10%.

  • itemclick - Determines the behavior on legend item click. *toggle* toggles the visibility of the item clicked on the graph. *toggleothers* makes the clicked item the sole visible item on the graph. *false* disables legend item click interactions.

  • itemdoubleclick - Determines the behavior on legend item double-click. *toggle* toggles the visibility of the item clicked on the graph. *toggleothers* makes the clicked item the sole visible item on the graph. *false* disables legend item double-click interactions.

  • itemsizing - Determines if the legend items symbols scale with their corresponding *trace* attributes or remain *constant* independent of the symbol size on the graph.

  • itemwidth - Sets the width (in px) of the legend item symbols (the part other than the title.text).

  • orientation - Sets the orientation of the legend.

  • tracegroupgap - Sets the amount of vertical space (in px) between legend groups.

  • traceorder - Determines the order at which the legend items are displayed. If *normal*, the items are displayed top-to-bottom in the same order as the input data. If *reversed*, the items are displayed in the opposite order as *normal*. If *grouped*, the items are displayed in groups (when a trace `legendgroup` is provided). if *grouped+reversed*, the items are displayed in the opposite order as *grouped*.

Using *diagonal* there is no limit e.g. in drawing lines in any direction. *ortho* limits the draw to be either horizontal or vertical. *horizontal* allows horizontal extend. *vertical* allows vertical extend.

  • fillcolor - Sets the color filling new shapes' interior. Please note that if using a fillcolor with alpha greater than half, drag inside the active shape starts moving the shape underneath, otherwise a new shape could be started over.

  • bgcolor - Set the background color of the subplot

  • gridshape - Determines if the radial axis grid lines and angular axis line are drawn as *circular* sectors or as *linear* (polygon) sectors. Has an effect only when the angular axis has `type` *category*.

  • hole - Sets the fraction of the radius to cut out of the polar subplot.

  • sector - Sets angular span of this polar subplot with two angles (in degrees). Sector are assumed to be spanned in the counterclockwise direction with *0* corresponding to rightmost limit of the polar subplot.

If *manual*, this scene's axes are drawn in proportion with the input of *aspectratio* (the default behavior if *aspectratio* is provided). If *auto*, this scene's axes are drawn using the results of *data* except when one axis is more than four times the size of the two others, where in that case the results of *cube* are used.

Create a new ‘Selection’ object

  • name - When used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the selection.

  • path - For `type` *path* - a valid SVG path similar to `shapes.path` in data coordinates. Allowed segments are: M, L and Z.

  • templateitemname - Used to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.

  • type - Specifies the selection type to be drawn. If *rect*, a rectangle is drawn linking (`x0`,`y0`), (`x1`,`y0`), (`x1`,`y1`) and (`x0`,`y1`). If *path*, draw a custom SVG path using `path`.

  • x0 - Sets the selection's starting x position.

  • x1 - Sets the selection's end x position.

  • xref - Sets the selection's x coordinate axis. If set to a x axis id (e.g. *x* or *x2*), the `x` position refers to a x coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `x` position refers to the distance from the left of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the left (right). If set to a x axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the left of the domain of that axis: e.g., *x2 domain* refers to the domain of the second x axis and a x position of 0.5 refers to the point between the left and the right of the domain of the second x axis.

  • y0 - Sets the selection's starting y position.

  • y1 - Sets the selection's end y position.

  • yref - Sets the selection's x coordinate axis. If set to a y axis id (e.g. *y* or *y2*), the `y` position refers to a y coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `y` position refers to the distance from the bottom of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the bottom (top). If set to a y axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the bottom of the domain of that axis: e.g., *y2 domain* refers to the domain of the second y axis and a y position of 0.5 refers to the point between the bottom and the top of the domain of the second y axis.

  • fillcolor - Sets the color filling the shape's interior. Only applies to closed shapes.

  • fillrule - Determines which regions of complex paths constitute the interior. For more info please visit https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/fill-rule

  • layer - Specifies whether shapes are drawn below or above traces.

  • name - When used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array. You can modify these items in the output figure by making your own item with `templateitemname` matching this `name` alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). Has no effect outside of a template.

  • opacity - Sets the opacity of the shape.

  • path - For `type` *path* - a valid SVG path with the pixel values replaced by data values in `xsizemode`/`ysizemode` being *scaled* and taken unmodified as pixels relative to `xanchor` and `yanchor` in case of *pixel* size mode. There are a few restrictions / quirks only absolute instructions, not relative. So the allowed segments are: M, L, H, V, Q, C, T, S, and Z arcs (A) are not allowed because radius rx and ry are relative. In the future we could consider supporting relative commands, but we would have to decide on how to handle date and log axes. Note that even as is, Q and C Bezier paths that are smooth on linear axes may not be smooth on log, and vice versa. no chained "polybezier" commands - specify the segment type for each one. On category axes, values are numbers scaled to the serial numbers of categories because using the categories themselves there would be no way to describe fractional positions On data axes: because space and T are both normal components of path strings, we can't use either to separate date from time parts. Therefore we'll use underscore for this purpose: 2015-02-21_13:45:56.789

  • templateitemname - Used to refer to a named item in this array in the template. Named items from the template will be created even without a matching item in the input figure, but you can modify one by making an item with `templateitemname` matching its `name`, alongside your modifications (including `visible: false` or `enabled: false` to hide it). If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.

  • type - Specifies the shape type to be drawn. If *line*, a line is drawn from (`x0`,`y0`) to (`x1`,`y1`) with respect to the axes' sizing mode. If *circle*, a circle is drawn from ((`x0`+`x1`)/2, (`y0`+`y1`)/2)) with radius (|(`x0`+`x1`)/2 - `x0`|, |(`y0`+`y1`)/2 -`y0`)|) with respect to the axes' sizing mode. If *rect*, a rectangle is drawn linking (`x0`,`y0`), (`x1`,`y0`), (`x1`,`y1`), (`x0`,`y1`), (`x0`,`y0`) with respect to the axes' sizing mode. If *path*, draw a custom SVG path using `path`. with respect to the axes' sizing mode.

  • visible - Determines whether or not this shape is visible.

  • x0 - Sets the shape's starting x position. See `type` and `xsizemode` for more info.

  • x1 - Sets the shape's end x position. See `type` and `xsizemode` for more info.

  • xanchor - Only relevant in conjunction with `xsizemode` set to *pixel*. Specifies the anchor point on the x axis to which `x0`, `x1` and x coordinates within `path` are relative to. E.g. useful to attach a pixel sized shape to a certain data value. No effect when `xsizemode` not set to *pixel*.

  • xref - Sets the shape's x coordinate axis. If set to a x axis id (e.g. *x* or *x2*), the `x` position refers to a x coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `x` position refers to the distance from the left of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the left (right). If set to a x axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the left of the domain of that axis: e.g., *x2 domain* refers to the domain of the second x axis and a x position of 0.5 refers to the point between the left and the right of the domain of the second x axis.

  • xsizemode - Sets the shapes's sizing mode along the x axis. If set to *scaled*, `x0`, `x1` and x coordinates within `path` refer to data values on the x axis or a fraction of the plot area's width (`xref` set to *paper*). If set to *pixel*, `xanchor` specifies the x position in terms of data or plot fraction but `x0`, `x1` and x coordinates within `path` are pixels relative to `xanchor`. This way, the shape can have a fixed width while maintaining a position relative to data or plot fraction.

  • y0 - Sets the shape's starting y position. See `type` and `ysizemode` for more info.

  • y1 - Sets the shape's end y position. See `type` and `ysizemode` for more info.

  • yanchor - Only relevant in conjunction with `ysizemode` set to *pixel*. Specifies the anchor point on the y axis to which `y0`, `y1` and y coordinates within `path` are relative to. E.g. useful to attach a pixel sized shape to a certain data value. No effect when `ysizemode` not set to *pixel*.

  • yref - Sets the shape's y coordinate axis. If set to a y axis id (e.g. *y* or *y2*), the `y` position refers to a y coordinate. If set to *paper*, the `y` position refers to the distance from the bottom of the plotting area in normalized coordinates where *0* (*1*) corresponds to the bottom (top). If set to a y axis ID followed by *domain* (separated by a space), the position behaves like for *paper*, but refers to the distance in fractions of the domain length from the bottom of the domain of that axis: e.g., *y2 domain* refers to the domain of the second y axis and a y position of 0.5 refers to the point between the bottom and the top of the domain of the second y axis.

  • ysizemode - Sets the shapes's sizing mode along the y axis. If set to *scaled*, `y0`, `y1` and y coordinates within `path` refer to data values on the y axis or a fraction of the plot area's height (`yref` set to *paper*). If set to *pixel*, `yanchor` specifies the y position in terms of data or plot fraction but `y0`, `y1` and y coordinates within `path` are pixels relative to `yanchor`. This way, the shape can have a fixed height while maintaining a position relative to data or plot fraction.

  • xanchor - Sets the title's horizontal alignment with respect to its x position. *left* means that the title starts at x, *right* means that the title ends at x and *center* means that the title's center is at x. *auto* divides `xref` by three and calculates the `xanchor` value automatically based on the value of `x`.

  • xref - Sets the container `x` refers to. *container* spans the entire `width` of the plot. *paper* refers to the width of the plotting area only.

Create a new ‘XAxis’ object

  • anchor - If set to an opposite-letter axis id (e.g. `x2`, `y`), this axis is bound to the corresponding opposite-letter axis. If set to *free*, this axis' position is determined by `position`.

  • automargin - Determines whether long tick labels automatically grow the figure margins.

  • autorange - Determines whether or not the range of this axis is computed in relation to the input data. See `rangemode` for more info. If `range` is provided, then `autorange` is set to *false*.

  • autotypenumbers - Using *strict* a numeric string in trace data is not converted to a number. Using *convert types* a numeric string in trace data may be treated as a number during automatic axis `type` detection. Defaults to layout.autotypenumbers.

  • calendar - Sets the calendar system to use for `range` and `tick0` if this is a date axis. This does not set the calendar for interpreting data on this axis, that's specified in the trace or via the global `layout.calendar`

  • categoryarray - Sets the order in which categories on this axis appear. Only has an effect if `categoryorder` is set to *array*. Used with `categoryorder`.

  • categoryarraysrc - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for `categoryarray`.

  • categoryorder - Specifies the ordering logic for the case of categorical variables. By default, plotly uses *trace*, which specifies the order that is present in the data supplied. Set `categoryorder` to *category ascending* or *category descending* if order should be determined by the alphanumerical order of the category names. Set `categoryorder` to *array* to derive the ordering from the attribute `categoryarray`. If a category is not found in the `categoryarray` array, the sorting behavior for that attribute will be identical to the *trace* mode. The unspecified categories will follow the categories in `categoryarray`. Set `categoryorder` to *total ascending* or *total descending* if order should be determined by the numerical order of the values. Similarly, the order can be determined by the min, max, sum, mean or median of all the values.

  • color - Sets default for all colors associated with this axis all at once: line, font, tick, and grid colors. Grid color is lightened by blending this with the plot background Individual pieces can override this.

  • constrain - If this axis needs to be compressed (either due to its own `scaleanchor` and `scaleratio` or those of the other axis), determines how that happens: by increasing the *range*, or by decreasing the *domain*. Default is *domain* for axes containing image traces, *range* otherwise.

  • constraintoward - If this axis needs to be compressed (either due to its own `scaleanchor` and `scaleratio` or those of the other axis), determines which direction we push the originally specified plot area. Options are *left*, *center* (default), and *right* for x axes, and *top*, *middle* (default), and *bottom* for y axes.

  • dividercolor - Sets the color of the dividers Only has an effect on *multicategory* axes.

  • dividerwidth - Sets the width (in px) of the dividers Only has an effect on *multicategory* axes.

  • domain - Sets the domain of this axis (in plot fraction).

  • dtick - Sets the step in-between ticks on this axis. Use with `tick0`. Must be a positive number, or special strings available to *log* and *date* axes. If the axis `type` is *log*, then ticks are set every 10^(n*dtick) where n is the tick number. For example, to set a tick mark at 1, 10, 100, 1000, ... set dtick to 1. To set tick marks at 1, 100, 10000, ... set dtick to 2. To set tick marks at 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, ... set dtick to log_10(5), or 0.69897000433. *log* has several special values; *L<f>*, where `f` is a positive number, gives ticks linearly spaced in value (but not position). For example `tick0` = 0.1, `dtick` = *L0.5* will put ticks at 0.1, 0.6, 1.1, 1.6 etc. To show powers of 10 plus small digits between, use *D1* (all digits) or *D2* (only 2 and 5). `tick0` is ignored for *D1* and *D2*. If the axis `type` is *date*, then you must convert the time to milliseconds. For example, to set the interval between ticks to one day, set `dtick` to 86400000.0. *date* also has special values *M<n>* gives ticks spaced by a number of months. `n` must be a positive integer. To set ticks on the 15th of every third month, set `tick0` to *2000-01-15* and `dtick` to *M3*. To set ticks every 4 years, set `dtick` to *M48*

  • exponentformat - Determines a formatting rule for the tick exponents. For example, consider the number 1,000,000,000. If *none*, it appears as 1,000,000,000. If *e*, 1e+9. If *E*, 1E+9. If *power*, 1x10^9 (with 9 in a super script). If *SI*, 1G. If *B*, 1B.

  • fixedrange - Determines whether or not this axis is zoom-able. If true, then zoom is disabled.

  • gridcolor - Sets the color of the grid lines.

  • griddash - Sets the dash style of lines. Set to a dash type string (*solid*, *dot*, *dash*, *longdash*, *dashdot*, or *longdashdot*) or a dash length list in px (eg *5px,10px,2px,2px*).

  • gridwidth - Sets the width (in px) of the grid lines.

  • hoverformat - Sets the hover text formatting rule using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: *%h* for half of the year as a decimal number as well as *%{n}f* for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, *2016-10-13 09:15:23.456* with tickformat *%H~%M~%S.%2f* would display *09~15~23.46*

  • layer - Sets the layer on which this axis is displayed. If *above traces*, this axis is displayed above all the subplot's traces If *below traces*, this axis is displayed below all the subplot's traces, but above the grid lines. Useful when used together with scatter-like traces with `cliponaxis` set to *false* to show markers and/or text nodes above this axis.

  • linecolor - Sets the axis line color.

  • linewidth - Sets the width (in px) of the axis line.

  • matches - If set to another axis id (e.g. `x2`, `y`), the range of this axis will match the range of the corresponding axis in data-coordinates space. Moreover, matching axes share auto-range values, category lists and histogram auto-bins. Note that setting axes simultaneously in both a `scaleanchor` and a `matches` constraint is currently forbidden. Moreover, note that matching axes must have the same `type`.

  • minexponent - Hide SI prefix for 10^n if |n| is below this number. This only has an effect when `tickformat` is *SI* or *B*.

  • mirror - Determines if the axis lines or/and ticks are mirrored to the opposite side of the plotting area. If *true*, the axis lines are mirrored. If *ticks*, the axis lines and ticks are mirrored. If *false*, mirroring is disable. If *all*, axis lines are mirrored on all shared-axes subplots. If *allticks*, axis lines and ticks are mirrored on all shared-axes subplots.

  • nticks - Specifies the maximum number of ticks for the particular axis. The actual number of ticks will be chosen automatically to be less than or equal to `nticks`. Has an effect only if `tickmode` is set to *auto*.

  • overlaying - If set a same-letter axis id, this axis is overlaid on top of the corresponding same-letter axis, with traces and axes visible for both axes. If *false*, this axis does not overlay any same-letter axes. In this case, for axes with overlapping domains only the highest-numbered axis will be visible.

  • position - Sets the position of this axis in the plotting space (in normalized coordinates). Only has an effect if `anchor` is set to *free*.

  • range - Sets the range of this axis. If the axis `type` is *log*, then you must take the log of your desired range (e.g. to set the range from 1 to 100, set the range from 0 to 2). If the axis `type` is *date*, it should be date strings, like date data, though Date objects and unix milliseconds will be accepted and converted to strings. If the axis `type` is *category*, it should be numbers, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.

  • rangemode - If *normal*, the range is computed in relation to the extrema of the input data. If *tozero*`, the range extends to 0, regardless of the input data If *nonnegative*, the range is non-negative, regardless of the input data. Applies only to linear axes.

  • scaleanchor - If set to another axis id (e.g. `x2`, `y`), the range of this axis changes together with the range of the corresponding axis such that the scale of pixels per unit is in a constant ratio. Both axes are still zoomable, but when you zoom one, the other will zoom the same amount, keeping a fixed midpoint. `constrain` and `constraintoward` determine how we enforce the constraint. You can chain these, ie `yaxis: {scaleanchor: *x*}, xaxis2: {scaleanchor: *y*}` but you can only link axes of the same `type`. The linked axis can have the opposite letter (to constrain the aspect ratio) or the same letter (to match scales across subplots). Loops (`yaxis: {scaleanchor: *x*}, xaxis: {scaleanchor: *y*}` or longer) are redundant and the last constraint encountered will be ignored to avoid possible inconsistent constraints via `scaleratio`. Note that setting axes simultaneously in both a `scaleanchor` and a `matches` constraint is currently forbidden.

  • scaleratio - If this axis is linked to another by `scaleanchor`, this determines the pixel to unit scale ratio. For example, if this value is 10, then every unit on this axis spans 10 times the number of pixels as a unit on the linked axis. Use this for example to create an elevation profile where the vertical scale is exaggerated a fixed amount with respect to the horizontal.

  • separatethousands - If "true", even 4-digit integers are separated

  • showdividers - Determines whether or not a dividers are drawn between the category levels of this axis. Only has an effect on *multicategory* axes.

  • showexponent - If *all*, all exponents are shown besides their significands. If *first*, only the exponent of the first tick is shown. If *last*, only the exponent of the last tick is shown. If *none*, no exponents appear.

  • showgrid - Determines whether or not grid lines are drawn. If *true*, the grid lines are drawn at every tick mark.

  • showline - Determines whether or not a line bounding this axis is drawn.

  • showspikes - Determines whether or not spikes (aka droplines) are drawn for this axis. Note: This only takes affect when hovermode = closest

  • showticklabels - Determines whether or not the tick labels are drawn.

  • showtickprefix - If *all*, all tick labels are displayed with a prefix. If *first*, only the first tick is displayed with a prefix. If *last*, only the last tick is displayed with a suffix. If *none*, tick prefixes are hidden.

  • showticksuffix - Same as `showtickprefix` but for tick suffixes.

  • side - Determines whether a x (y) axis is positioned at the *bottom* (*left*) or *top* (*right*) of the plotting area.

  • spikecolor - Sets the spike color. If undefined, will use the series color

  • spikedash - Sets the dash style of lines. Set to a dash type string (*solid*, *dot*, *dash*, *longdash*, *dashdot*, or *longdashdot*) or a dash length list in px (eg *5px,10px,2px,2px*).

  • spikemode - Determines the drawing mode for the spike line If *toaxis*, the line is drawn from the data point to the axis the series is plotted on. If *across*, the line is drawn across the entire plot area, and supercedes *toaxis*. If *marker*, then a marker dot is drawn on the axis the series is plotted on

  • spikesnap - Determines whether spikelines are stuck to the cursor or to the closest datapoints.

  • spikethickness - Sets the width (in px) of the zero line.

  • tick0 - Sets the placement of the first tick on this axis. Use with `dtick`. If the axis `type` is *log*, then you must take the log of your starting tick (e.g. to set the starting tick to 100, set the `tick0` to 2) except when `dtick`=*L<f>* (see `dtick` for more info). If the axis `type` is *date*, it should be a date string, like date data. If the axis `type` is *category*, it should be a number, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.

  • tickangle - Sets the angle of the tick labels with respect to the horizontal. For example, a `tickangle` of -90 draws the tick labels vertically.

  • tickcolor - Sets the tick color.

  • tickfont - Sets the tick font.

  • tickformat - Sets the tick label formatting rule using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: *%h* for half of the year as a decimal number as well as *%{n}f* for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, *2016-10-13 09:15:23.456* with tickformat *%H~%M~%S.%2f* would display *09~15~23.46*

  • ticklabelmode - Determines where tick labels are drawn with respect to their corresponding ticks and grid lines. Only has an effect for axes of `type` *date* When set to *period*, tick labels are drawn in the middle of the period between ticks.

  • ticklabeloverflow - Determines how we handle tick labels that would overflow either the graph div or the domain of the axis. The default value for inside tick labels is *hide past domain*. Otherwise on *category* and *multicategory* axes the default is *allow*. In other cases the default is *hide past div*.

  • ticklabelposition - Determines where tick labels are drawn with respect to the axis Please note that top or bottom has no effect on x axes or when `ticklabelmode` is set to *period*. Similarly left or right has no effect on y axes or when `ticklabelmode` is set to *period*. Has no effect on *multicategory* axes or when `tickson` is set to *boundaries*. When used on axes linked by `matches` or `scaleanchor`, no extra padding for inside labels would be added by autorange, so that the scales could match.

  • ticklabelstep - Sets the spacing between tick labels as compared to the spacing between ticks. A value of 1 (default) means each tick gets a label. A value of 2 means shows every 2nd label. A larger value n means only every nth tick is labeled. `tick0` determines which labels are shown. Not implemented for axes with `type` *log* or *multicategory*, or when `tickmode` is *array*.

  • ticklen - Sets the tick length (in px).

  • tickmode - Sets the tick mode for this axis. If *auto*, the number of ticks is set via `nticks`. If *linear*, the placement of the ticks is determined by a starting position `tick0` and a tick step `dtick` (*linear* is the default value if `tick0` and `dtick` are provided). If *array*, the placement of the ticks is set via `tickvals` and the tick text is `ticktext`. (*array* is the default value if `tickvals` is provided). If *sync*, the number of ticks will sync with the overlayed axis set by `overlaying` property.

  • tickprefix - Sets a tick label prefix.

  • ticks - Determines whether ticks are drawn or not. If **, this axis' ticks are not drawn. If *outside* (*inside*), this axis' are drawn outside (inside) the axis lines.

  • tickson - Determines where ticks and grid lines are drawn with respect to their corresponding tick labels. Only has an effect for axes of `type` *category* or *multicategory*. When set to *boundaries*, ticks and grid lines are drawn half a category to the left/bottom of labels.

  • ticksuffix - Sets a tick label suffix.

  • ticktext - Sets the text displayed at the ticks position via `tickvals`. Only has an effect if `tickmode` is set to *array*. Used with `tickvals`.

  • ticktextsrc - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for `ticktext`.

  • tickvals - Sets the values at which ticks on this axis appear. Only has an effect if `tickmode` is set to *array*. Used with `ticktext`.

  • tickvalssrc - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for `tickvals`.

  • tickwidth - Sets the tick width (in px).

  • type - Sets the axis type. By default, plotly attempts to determined the axis type by looking into the data of the traces that referenced the axis in question.

  • uirevision - Controls persistence of user-driven changes in axis `range`, `autorange`, and `title` if in `editable: true` configuration. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`.

  • visible - A single toggle to hide the axis while preserving interaction like dragging. Default is true when a cheater plot is present on the axis, otherwise false

Both axes are still zoomable, but when you zoom one, the other will zoom the same amount, keeping a fixed midpoint. `constrain` and `constraintoward` determine how we enforce the constraint. You can chain these, ie `yaxis: {scaleanchor: *x*}, xaxis2: {scaleanchor: *y*}` but you can only link axes of the same `type`. The linked axis can have the opposite letter (to constrain the aspect ratio) or the same letter (to match scales across subplots). Loops (`yaxis: {scaleanchor: *x*}, xaxis: {scaleanchor: *y*}` or longer) are redundant and the last constraint encountered will be ignored to avoid possible inconsistent constraints via `scaleratio`. Note that setting axes simultaneously in both a `scaleanchor` and a `matches` constraint is currently forbidden.

  • scaleratio - If this axis is linked to another by `scaleanchor`, this determines the pixel to unit scale ratio. For example, if this value is 10, then every unit on this axis spans 10 times the number of pixels as a unit on the linked axis. Use this for example to create an elevation profile where the vertical scale is exaggerated a fixed amount with respect to the horizontal.

  • separatethousands - If "true", even 4-digit integers are separated

  • shift - Moves the axis a given number of pixels from where it would have been otherwise. Accepts both positive and negative values, which will shift the axis either right or left, respectively. If `autoshift` is set to true, then this defaults to a padding of -3 if `side` is set to *left*. and defaults to +3 if `side` is set to *right*. Defaults to 0 if `autoshift` is set to false. Only has an effect if `anchor` is set to *free*.

  • showdividers - Determines whether or not a dividers are drawn between the category levels of this axis. Only has an effect on *multicategory* axes.

  • showexponent - If *all*, all exponents are shown besides their significands. If *first*, only the exponent of the first tick is shown. If *last*, only the exponent of the last tick is shown. If *none*, no exponents appear.

  • showgrid - Determines whether or not grid lines are drawn. If *true*, the grid lines are drawn at every tick mark.

  • showline - Determines whether or not a line bounding this axis is drawn.

  • showspikes - Determines whether or not spikes (aka droplines) are drawn for this axis. Note: This only takes affect when hovermode = closest

  • showticklabels - Determines whether or not the tick labels are drawn.

  • showtickprefix - If *all*, all tick labels are displayed with a prefix. If *first*, only the first tick is displayed with a prefix. If *last*, only the last tick is displayed with a suffix. If *none*, tick prefixes are hidden.

  • showticksuffix - Same as `showtickprefix` but for tick suffixes.

  • side - Determines whether a x (y) axis is positioned at the *bottom* (*left*) or *top* (*right*) of the plotting area.

  • spikecolor - Sets the spike color. If undefined, will use the series color

  • spikedash - Sets the dash style of lines. Set to a dash type string (*solid*, *dot*, *dash*, *longdash*, *dashdot*, or *longdashdot*) or a dash length list in px (eg *5px,10px,2px,2px*).

  • spikemode - Determines the drawing mode for the spike line If *toaxis*, the line is drawn from the data point to the axis the series is plotted on. If *across*, the line is drawn across the entire plot area, and supercedes *toaxis*. If *marker*, then a marker dot is drawn on the axis the series is plotted on

  • spikesnap - Determines whether spikelines are stuck to the cursor or to the closest datapoints.

  • spikethickness - Sets the width (in px) of the zero line.

  • tick0 - Sets the placement of the first tick on this axis. Use with `dtick`. If the axis `type` is *log*, then you must take the log of your starting tick (e.g. to set the starting tick to 100, set the `tick0` to 2) except when `dtick`=*L<f>* (see `dtick` for more info). If the axis `type` is *date*, it should be a date string, like date data. If the axis `type` is *category*, it should be a number, using the scale where each category is assigned a serial number from zero in the order it appears.

  • tickangle - Sets the angle of the tick labels with respect to the horizontal. For example, a `tickangle` of -90 draws the tick labels vertically.

  • tickcolor - Sets the tick color.

  • tickfont - Sets the tick font.

  • tickformat - Sets the tick label formatting rule using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: *%h* for half of the year as a decimal number as well as *%{n}f* for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, *2016-10-13 09:15:23.456* with tickformat *%H~%M~%S.%2f* would display *09~15~23.46*

  • ticklabelmode - Determines where tick labels are drawn with respect to their corresponding ticks and grid lines. Only has an effect for axes of `type` *date* When set to *period*, tick labels are drawn in the middle of the period between ticks.

  • ticklabeloverflow - Determines how we handle tick labels that would overflow either the graph div or the domain of the axis. The default value for inside tick labels is *hide past domain*. Otherwise on *category* and *multicategory* axes the default is *allow*. In other cases the default is *hide past div*.

  • ticklabelposition - Determines where tick labels are drawn with respect to the axis Please note that top or bottom has no effect on x axes or when `ticklabelmode` is set to *period*. Similarly left or right has no effect on y axes or when `ticklabelmode` is set to *period*. Has no effect on *multicategory* axes or when `tickson` is set to *boundaries*. When used on axes linked by `matches` or `scaleanchor`, no extra padding for inside labels would be added by autorange, so that the scales could match.

  • ticklabelstep - Sets the spacing between tick labels as compared to the spacing between ticks. A value of 1 (default) means each tick gets a label. A value of 2 means shows every 2nd label. A larger value n means only every nth tick is labeled. `tick0` determines which labels are shown. Not implemented for axes with `type` *log* or *multicategory*, or when `tickmode` is *array*.

  • ticklen - Sets the tick length (in px).

  • tickmode - Sets the tick mode for this axis. If *auto*, the number of ticks is set via `nticks`. If *linear*, the placement of the ticks is determined by a starting position `tick0` and a tick step `dtick` (*linear* is the default value if `tick0` and `dtick` are provided). If *array*, the placement of the ticks is set via `tickvals` and the tick text is `ticktext`. (*array* is the default value if `tickvals` is provided). If *sync*, the number of ticks will sync with the overlayed axis set by `overlaying` property.

  • tickprefix - Sets a tick label prefix.

  • ticks - Determines whether ticks are drawn or not. If **, this axis' ticks are not drawn. If *outside* (*inside*), this axis' are drawn outside (inside) the axis lines.

  • tickson - Determines where ticks and grid lines are drawn with respect to their corresponding tick labels. Only has an effect for axes of `type` *category* or *multicategory*. When set to *boundaries*, ticks and grid lines are drawn half a category to the left/bottom of labels.

  • ticksuffix - Sets a tick label suffix.

  • ticktext - Sets the text displayed at the ticks position via `tickvals`. Only has an effect if `tickmode` is set to *array*. Used with `tickvals`.

  • ticktextsrc - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for `ticktext`.

  • tickvals - Sets the values at which ticks on this axis appear. Only has an effect if `tickmode` is set to *array*. Used with `ticktext`.

  • tickvalssrc - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for `tickvals`.

  • tickwidth - Sets the tick width (in px).

  • type - Sets the axis type. By default, plotly attempts to determined the axis type by looking into the data of the traces that referenced the axis in question.

  • uirevision - Controls persistence of user-driven changes in axis `range`, `autorange`, and `title` if in `editable: true` configuration. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`.

  • visible - A single toggle to hide the axis while preserving interaction like dragging. Default is true when a cheater plot is present on the axis, otherwise false

  • zeroline - Determines whether or not a line is drawn at along the 0 value of this axis. If *true*, the zero line is drawn on top of the grid lines.

  • zerolinecolor - Sets the line color of the zero line.

  • zerolinewidth - Sets the width (in px) of the zero line.
