plotly v3.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-01-04 // over 5 years ago

  • ⚡️ Updated

    🔄 Changed

    • Plotly.js 1.43 converted title properties (e.g. layout.title) from strings into compound objects that contain the text as the text property along with new title placement attributes x, y, xref, yref, xanchor, yanchor and pad. Plotly.py 3.5.0 follows the new schema, but still supports specifying title as a string, in which case the string is assigned to the title.text property (#1302)
    • Plotly.js 1.43 also moved existing title* properties (e.g. layout.titlefont) under the title object (e.g. layout.title.font). Plotly.py 3.5.0 follows the new schema, but still supports the legacy title* properties by mapping them to the corresponding title.* property (#1302)
    • The update method on graph_objs now returns the updated object in order to support chaining multiple update operations together (#1379)
    • The show_link option has been set to False by default in the offline plot and iplot functions. Now that the "send data to cloud" button has been disabled by default in plotly.js 1.43.0, no buttons/links will be displayed by default that result in data being sent off of the local machine (#1304)
    • config options that are not known by plotly.py result in a warning but are still passed along to plotly.js. Prior to this change these unknown options were dropped silently (#1290)
    • Built-in themes now specify colorscales using the new global layout.colorscale properties. Previously the colorscales were defined for each trace type individually. This reduces the size of the resulting theme files (#1303)
    • Increased the maximum retry time of the orca integration from 8s to 30s (#1297)

    🛠 Fixed

    • Fixed FigureWidget performance regression that, when working with large datasets, resulted in a slight freeze of the widget after user interactions (pan, zoom, etc) (1305)
    • Fix orca error when the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE environment variable is set (#1293)
    • The 'responsive' config key was being silently blocked (#1290)
    • Fixed error when using unicode characters in string properties on Python 2 (#1289)
    • Removed invalid calls to non-existent validate and strip_style Figure methods in matplotlylib conversion logic (#1128)
