R Figure Reference: layout.coloraxis

  • coloraxis
    Parent: layout
    Type: named list containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • autocolorscale
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: boolean
      Default: TRUE

      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
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: boolean
      Default: TRUE

      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
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: number

      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
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: number

      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
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: number

      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.

    • colorbar
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: named list containing one or more of the keys listed below.
      • bgcolor
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: color
        Default: "rgba(0,0,0,0)"

        Sets the color of padded area.

      • bordercolor
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: color
        Default: "#444"

        Sets the axis line color.

      • borderwidth
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 0

        Sets the width (in px) or the border enclosing this color bar.

      • dtick
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        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.coloraxis.colorbar
        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.

      • labelalias
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        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.

      • len
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 1

        Sets the length of the color bar This measure excludes the padding of both ends. That is, the color bar length is this length minus the padding on both ends.

      • lenmode
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: enumerated , one of ( "fraction" | "pixels" )
        Default: "fraction"

        Determines whether this color bar's length (i.e. the measure in the color variation direction) is set in units of plot "fraction" or in "pixels. Use `len` to set the value.

      • minexponent
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        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.coloraxis.colorbar
        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".

        Default: "all"

        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.

      • showticklabels
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        Type: boolean

        Type: enumerated , one of ( "fraction" | "pixels" )
        Default: "pixels"

        Determines whether this color bar's thickness (i.e. the measure in the constant color direction) is set in units of plot "fraction" or in "pixels". Use `thickness` to set the value.

      • tick0
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        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.

          Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar.tickfont
          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".

        • size

          Type: number greater than or equal to 1
      • tickformat
        Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar
        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"

        • name
          Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar.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.coloraxis.colorbar.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`.

        • value
          Parent: layout.coloraxis.colorbar.tickformatstops[]
          Type: string
          Default: ""

    • colorscale
      Parent: layout.coloraxis
      Type: 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.
