MATLAB Figure Reference: layout

  • title
    Parent: layout
    Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • automargin
      Parent: layout.title
      Type: boolean

      Determines whether the title can automatically push the figure margins. If `yref='paper'` then the margin will expand to ensure that the title doesn’t overlap with the edges of the container. If `yref='container'` then the margins will ensure that the title doesn’t overlap with the plot area, tick labels, and axis titles. If `automargin=true` and the margins need to be expanded, then y will be set to a default 1 and yanchor will be set to an appropriate default to ensure that minimal margin space is needed. Note that when `yref='paper'`, only 1 or 0 are allowed y values. Invalid values will be reset to the default 1.

    • font
      Parent: layout.title
      Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.

      Sets the title font. Note that the title's font used to be customized by the now deprecated `titlefont` attribute.

  • hovermode
    Parent: layout
    Type: enumerated , one of ( 'x' | 'y' | 'closest' | false | 'x unified' | 'y unified' )
    Default: 'closest'

    Determines the mode of hover interactions. If 'closest', a single hoverlabel will appear for the 'closest' point within the `hoverdistance`. If 'x' (or 'y'), multiple hoverlabels will appear for multiple points at the 'closest' x- (or y-) coordinate within the `hoverdistance`, with the caveat that no more than one hoverlabel will appear per trace. If 'x unified' (or 'y unified'), a single hoverlabel will appear multiple points at the closest x- (or y-) coordinate within the `hoverdistance` with the caveat that no more than one hoverlabel will appear per trace. In this mode, spikelines are enabled by default perpendicular to the specified axis. If false, hover interactions are disabled.

  • hoversubplots

    Type: flaglist string. Any combination of 'event', 'select' joined with a '+' OR 'none'.
    Examples: 'event', 'select', 'event+select', 'none'
    Default: 'event'

    Determines the mode of single click interactions. 'event' is the default value and emits the `plotly_click` event. In addition this mode emits the `plotly_selected` event in drag modes 'lasso' and 'select', but with no event data attached (kept for compatibility reasons). The 'select' flag enables selecting single data points via click. This mode also supports persistent selections, meaning that pressing Shift while clicking, adds to / subtracts from an existing selection. 'select' with `hovermode`: 'x' can be confusing, consider explicitly setting `hovermode`: 'closest' when using this feature. Selection events are sent accordingly as long as 'event' flag is set as well. When the 'event' flag is missing, `plotly_click` and `plotly_selected` events are not fired.

  • dragmode
    Parent: layout
    Type: enumerated , one of ( 'zoom' | 'pan' | 'select' | 'lasso' | 'drawclosedpath' | 'drawopenpath' | 'drawline' | 'drawrect' | 'drawcircle' | 'orbit' | 'turntable' | false )

        Sets the line width (in px).

    • mode
      Parent: layout.newselection
      Type: enumerated , one of ( 'immediate' | 'gradual' )
      Default: 'immediate'

      Describes how a new selection is created. If `immediate`, a new selection is created after first mouse up. If `gradual`, a new selection is not created after first mouse. By adding to and subtracting from the initial selection, this option allows declaring extra outlines of the selection.

  • hoverdistance
    Parent: layout
    Type: integer greater than or equal to -1
    Default: 20

    Sets the default distance (in pixels) to look for data to add hover labels (-1 means no cutoff, 0 means no looking for data).

  • datarevision
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    If provided, a changed value tells `Plotly.react` that one or more data arrays has changed. This way you can modify arrays in-place rather than making a complete new copy for an incremental change. If NOT provided, `Plotly.react` assumes that data arrays are being treated as immutable, thus any data array with a different identity from its predecessor contains new data.

  • uirevision
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Used to allow user interactions with the plot to persist after `Plotly.react` calls that are unaware of these interactions. If `uirevision` is omitted, or if it is given and it changed from the previous `Plotly.react` call, the exact new figure is used. If `uirevision` is truthy and did NOT change, any attribute that has been affected by user interactions and did not receive a different value in the new figure will keep the interaction value. `layout.uirevision` attribute serves as the default for `uirevision` attributes in various sub-containers. For finer control you can set these sub-attributes directly. For example, if your app separately controls the data on the x and y axes you might set `xaxis.uirevision='time'` and `yaxis.uirevision='cost'`. Then if only the y data is changed, you can update `yaxis.uirevision='quantity'` and the y axis range will reset but the x axis range will retain any user-driven zoom.

  • editrevision
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Controls persistence of user-driven changes in `editable: true` configuration, other than trace names and axis titles. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`.

  • selectionrevision
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Controls persistence of user-driven changes in selected points from all traces.

  • template
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Default attributes to be applied to the plot. Templates can be created from existing plots using `Plotly.makeTemplate`, or created manually. They should be objects with format: `{layout: layoutTemplate, data: {[type]: [traceTemplate, ...]}, ...}` `layoutTemplate` and `traceTemplate` are objects matching the attribute structure of `layout` and a data trace. Trace templates are applied cyclically to traces of each type. Container arrays (eg `annotations`) have special handling: An object ending in `defaults` (eg `annotationdefaults`) is applied to each array item. But if an item has a `templateitemname` key we look in the template array for an item with matching `name` and apply that instead. If no matching `name` is found we mark the item invisible. Any named template item not referenced is appended to the end of the array, so you can use this for a watermark annotation or a logo image, for example. To omit one of these items on the plot, make an item with matching `templateitemname` and `visible: false`.

  • meta
    Parent: layout
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Assigns extra meta information that can be used in various `text` attributes. Attributes such as the graph, axis and colorbar `title.text`, annotation `text` `trace.name` in legend items, `rangeselector`, `updatemenus` and `sliders` `label` text all support `meta`. One can access `meta` fields using template strings: `%{meta[i]}` where `i` is the index of the `meta` item in question. `meta` can also be an object for example `{key: value}` which can be accessed %{meta[key]}.

  • computed

    • subplots
      Parent: layout.grid
      Type: cell array

    • templateitemname
      Parent: layout.selections[]
      Type: string

      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
      Parent: layout.selections[]
      Type: enumerated , one of ( 'rect' | 'path' )

      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`.

    • xref
      Parent: layout.selections[]
      Type: enumerated , one of ( 'paper' | '/^x([2-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)?( domain)?$/' )

      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
      Parent: layout.selections[]
      Type: number or categorical coordinate string

      Sets the selection's starting y position.

      Type: number or categorical coordinate string

      Sets the selection's end y position.

    • yref
      Parent: layout.selections[]
      Type: enumerated , one of ( 'paper' | '/^y([2-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)?( domain)?$/' )

      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.

  • hidesources
    Parent: layout
    Type: boolean

    Determines whether or not a text link citing the data source is placed at the bottom-right cored of the figure. Has only an effect only on graphs that have been generated via forked graphs from the Chart Studio Cloud (at https://chart-studio.plotly.com or on-premise).

    Sets the gap (in plot fraction) between bars of the same location coordinate.

  • barmode
    Parent: layout
    Type: enumerated , one of ( 'stack' | 'group' | 'overlay' | 'relative' )
    Default: 'group'

    Determines how bars at the same location coordinate are displayed on the graph. With 'stack', the bars are stacked on top of one another With 'relative', the bars are stacked on top of one another, with negative values below the axis, positive values above With 'group', the bars are plotted next to one another centered around the shared location. With 'overlay', the bars are plotted over one another, you might need to reduce 'opacity' to see multiple bars.

  • barnorm
    Parent: layout
    Type: enumerated , one of ( '' | 'fraction' | 'percent' )
    Default: ''

    Sets the normalization for bar traces on the graph. With 'fraction', the value of each bar is divided by the sum of all values at that location coordinate. 'percent' is the same but multiplied by 100 to show percentages.
