- bgcolor
Parent:layout.updatemenus[]
Type: colorSets the background color of the update menu buttons.
- bordercolor
Parent:layout.updatemenus[]
Type: color
Default:"#BEC8D9"
Sets the color of the border enclosing the update menu.
- borderwidth
Parent:layout.updatemenus[]

- buttons
Parent:layout.updatemenus[]
Type: array of object where each object has one or more of the keys listed below.- args
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: arraySets the arguments values to be passed to the Plotly method set in `method` on click.
- args2
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: arraySets a 2nd set of `args`, these arguments values are passed to the Plotly method set in `method` when clicking this button while in the active state. Use this to create toggle buttons.
- execute
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: boolean
Default:true
When true, the API method is executed. When false, all other behaviors are the same and command execution is skipped. This may be useful when hooking into, for example, the `plotly_buttonclicked` method and executing the API command manually without losing the benefit of the updatemenu automatically binding to the state of the plot through the specification of `method` and `args`.
- label
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: string
Default:""
Sets the text label to appear on the button.
- method
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: enumerated , one of ("restyle"
|"relayout"
|"animate"
|"update"
|"skip"
)
Default:"restyle"
Sets the Plotly method to be called on click. If the `skip` method is used, the API updatemenu will function as normal but will perform no API calls and will not bind automatically to state updates. This may be used to create a component interface and attach to updatemenu events manually via JavaScript.
- name
Parent:layout.updatemenus[].buttons[]
Type: stringWhen used in a template, named items are created in the output figure in addition to any items the figure already has in this array.

If there is no template or no matching item, this item will be hidden unless you explicitly show it with `visible: true`.
