  • polar
    Parent: layout
    Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • angularaxis
      Parent: layout.polar
      Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.
      • autotypenumbers
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'convert types' | 'strict' )
        Default: 'convert types'

        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.

      • categoryarray
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: array

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

      • categoryorder
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'trace' | 'category ascending' | 'category descending' | 'array' | 'total ascending' | 'total descending' | 'min ascending' | 'min descending' | 'max ascending' | 'max descending' | 'sum ascending' | 'sum descending' | 'mean ascending' | 'mean descending' | 'geometric mean ascending' | 'geometric mean descending' | 'median ascending' | 'median descending' )
        Default: 'trace'

        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, geometric mean or median of all the values.

      • color
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#444'

        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.

      • direction
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'counterclockwise' | 'clockwise' )
        Default: 'counterclockwise'

        Sets the direction corresponding to positive angles.

      • dtick
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'none' | 'e' | 'E' | 'power' | 'SI' | 'B' )
        Default: 'B'

        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.

      • gridcolor
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#eee'

        Sets the color of the grid lines.

      • griddash
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: string
        Default: 'solid'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 1

        Sets the width (in px) of the grid lines.

      • hoverformat
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: string
        Default: ''

        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'

      • labelalias
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        Replacement text for specific tick or hover labels. For example using {US: 'USA', CA: 'Canada'} changes US to USA and CA to Canada. The labels we would have shown must match the keys exactly, after adding any tickprefix or ticksuffix. For negative numbers the minus sign symbol used (U+2212) is wider than the regular ascii dash. That means you need to use −1 instead of -1. labelalias can be used with any axis type, and both keys (if needed) and values (if desired) can include html-like tags or MathJax.

      • layer
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'above traces' | 'below traces' )
        Default: 'above traces'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#444'

        Sets the axis line color.

        Type: integer greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 0

        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'.

      • period
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0

        Set the angular period. Has an effect only when `angularaxis.type` is 'category'.

      • rotation
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: angle

        Sets that start position (in degrees) of the angular axis By default, polar subplots with `direction` set to 'counterclockwise' get a `rotation` of '0' which corresponds to due East (like what mathematicians prefer). In turn, polar with `direction` set to 'clockwise' get a rotation of '90' which corresponds to due North (like on a compass),

      • separatethousands

        Default: true

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

      • showticklabels
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: boolean
        Default: true

        Determines whether or not the tick labels are drawn.

        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'all' | 'first' | 'last' | 'none' )
        Default: 'all'

        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.

      • tick0
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: angle
        Default: 'auto'

      • tickformat
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: string
        Default: ''

        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'

      • tickformatstops
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: cell array of struct where each struct has one or more of the keys listed below.

        • name
          Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis.tickformatstops[]
          Type: string

          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.

        • templateitemname
          Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis.tickformatstops[]
          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`.

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0

        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'auto' | 'linear' | 'array' )

        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).

        Type: string
        Default: ''

        Sets a tick label suffix.

      • ticktext
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis
        Type: array

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

      • tickvals
        Parent: layout.polar.angularaxis

      Default: 'circular'

      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'. Note that `radialaxis.angle` is snapped to the angle of the closest vertex when `gridshape` is 'circular' (so that radial axis scale is the same as the data scale).

    • hole
      Parent: layout.polar
      Type: number between or equal to 0 and 1

        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 and it has a value for both the lower and upper bound, `autorange` is set to 'false'. Using 'min' applies autorange only to set the minimum. Using 'max' applies autorange only to set the maximum. Using 'min reversed' applies autorange only to set the minimum on a reversed axis. Using 'max reversed' applies autorange only to set the maximum on a reversed axis. Using 'reversed' applies autorange on both ends and reverses the axis direction.

      • autorangeoptions
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: struct containing one or more of the keys listed below.
        • clipmax
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.autorangeoptions
          Type: number or categorical coordinate string

          Clip autorange maximum if it goes beyond this value. Has no effect when `autorangeoptions.maxallowed` is provided.

        • clipmin
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.autorangeoptions
          Type: number or categorical coordinate string

          Clip autorange minimum if it goes beyond this value. Has no effect when `autorangeoptions.minallowed` is provided.

        • include
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.autorangeoptions
          Type: number or categorical coordinate string

          Ensure this value is included in autorange.

        • maxallowed
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.autorangeoptions
          Type: number or categorical coordinate string

          Use this value exactly as autorange maximum.

        • minallowed
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.autorangeoptions
          Type: number or categorical coordinate string

          Use this value exactly as autorange minimum.

      • autotickangles
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: cell array
        Default: [0, 30, 90]

        When `tickangle` is set to 'auto', it will be set to the first angle in this array that is large enough to prevent label overlap.

      • autotypenumbers
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'convert types' | 'strict' )
        Default: 'convert types'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'chinese' | 'coptic' | 'discworld' | 'ethiopian' | 'gregorian' | 'hebrew' | 'islamic' | 'jalali' | 'julian' | 'mayan' | 'nanakshahi' | 'nepali' | 'persian' | 'taiwan' | 'thai' | 'ummalqura' )
        Default: 'gregorian'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: array

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

      • categoryorder
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'trace' | 'category ascending' | 'category descending' | 'array' | 'total ascending' | 'total descending' | 'min ascending' | 'min descending' | 'max ascending' | 'max descending' | 'sum ascending' | 'sum descending' | 'mean ascending' | 'mean descending' | 'geometric mean ascending' | 'geometric mean descending' | 'median ascending' | 'median descending' )
        Default: 'trace'

        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, geometric mean or median of all the values.

      • color
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#444'

        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.

      • dtick
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'none' | 'e' | 'E' | 'power' | 'SI' | 'B' )
        Default: 'B'

        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.

      • gridcolor
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#eee'

        Sets the color of the grid lines.

        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: string
        Default: 'solid'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 1

        Sets the width (in px) of the grid lines.

      • hoverformat
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: string
        Default: ''

        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'

      • labelalias
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        Replacement text for specific tick or hover labels. For example using {US: 'USA', CA: 'Canada'} changes US to USA and CA to Canada. The labels we would have shown must match the keys exactly, after adding any tickprefix or ticksuffix. For negative numbers the minus sign symbol used (U+2212) is wider than the regular ascii dash. That means you need to use −1 instead of -1. labelalias can be used with any axis type, and both keys (if needed) and values (if desired) can include html-like tags or MathJax.

      • layer
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'above traces' | 'below traces' )
        Default: 'above traces'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: color
        Default: '#444'

        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 3

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

      • nticks
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: integer greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 0

        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'.

      • range
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: cell array

        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. Leaving either or both elements `null` impacts the default `autorange`.

      • rangemode
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'tozero' | 'nonnegative' | 'normal' )
        Default: 'tozero'

        If 'tozero'`, the range extends to 0, regardless of the input data If 'nonnegative', the range is non-negative, regardless of the input data. If 'normal', the range is computed in relation to the extrema of the input data (same behavior as for cartesian axes).

        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'all' | 'first' | 'last' | 'none' )
        Default: 'all'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'all' | 'first' | 'last' | 'none' )
        Default: 'all'

      • side
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( 'clockwise' | 'counterclockwise' )
        Default: 'clockwise'

        Determines on which side of radial axis line the tick and tick labels appear.

      • tick0
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: angle
        Default: 'auto'

        • name
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.tickformatstops[]
          Type: string

          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.

        • templateitemname
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.tickformatstops[]
          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`.

        Default: 1

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0

          • color
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: color
          • family
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: string

            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'.

          • lineposition
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: flaglist string. Any combination of 'under', 'over', 'through' joined with a '+' OR 'none'.
            Examples: 'under', 'over', 'under+over', 'under+over+through', 'none'
            Default: 'none'

            Sets the kind of decoration line(s) with text, such as an 'under', 'over' or 'through' as well as combinations e.g. 'under+over', etc.

          • shadow
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: string
            Default: 'none'

            Sets the shape and color of the shadow behind text. 'auto' places minimal shadow and applies contrast text font color. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-shadow for additional options.

          • size
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: number greater than or equal to 1
          • style
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: enumerated , one of ( 'normal' | 'italic' )
            Default: 'normal'

            Sets whether a font should be styled with a normal or italic face from its family.

          • textcase
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: enumerated , one of ( 'normal' | 'word caps' | 'upper' | 'lower' )
            Default: 'normal'

            Sets capitalization of text. It can be used to make text appear in all-uppercase or all-lowercase, or with each word capitalized.

          • variant
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: enumerated , one of ( 'normal' | 'small-caps' | 'all-small-caps' | 'all-petite-caps' | 'petite-caps' | 'unicase' )
            Default: 'normal'

            Sets the variant of the font.

          • weight
            Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title.font
            Type: integer between or equal to 1 and 1000
            Default: normal

            Sets the weight (or boldness) of the font.

        • text
          Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis.title
          Type: string
          Default: ''

          Sets the title of this axis. Note that before the existence of `title.text`, the title's contents used to be defined as the `title` attribute itself. This behavior has been deprecated.

      • type
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: enumerated , one of ( '-' | 'linear' | 'log' | 'date' | 'category' )
        Default: '-'

        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
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        Controls persistence of user-driven changes in axis `range`, `autorange`, `angle`, and `title` if in `editable: true` configuration. Defaults to `polar<N>.uirevision`.

      • visible
        Parent: layout.polar.radialaxis
        Type: boolean
        Default: true

        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

    • sector
      Parent: layout.polar
      Type: cell array
      Default: [0, 360]

      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.

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

      Controls persistence of user-driven changes in axis attributes, if not overridden in the individual axes. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`.
