R Figure Reference: ohlc Traces

A ohlc trace is initialized with plot_ly or add_trace:
plot_ly(df, type="ohlc"[, ...])
add_trace(p, type="ohlc"[, ...])

A ohlc trace accepts any of the keys listed below.

The ohlc (short for Open-High-Low-Close) is a style of financial chart describing open, high, low and close for a given `x` coordinate (most likely time). The tip of the lines represent the `low` and `high` values and the horizontal segments represent the `open` and `close` values. Sample points where the close value is higher (lower) then the open value are called increasing (decreasing). By default, increasing items are drawn in green whereas decreasing are drawn in red.

  • type
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: "ohlc"
  • name
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: string

    Sets the trace name. The trace name appears as the legend item and on hover.

  • visible
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: enumerated , one of ( TRUE | FALSE | "legendonly" )
    Default: TRUE

    Determines whether or not this trace is visible. If "legendonly", the trace is not drawn, but can appear as a legend item (provided that the legend itself is visible).

  • showlegend
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: boolean
    Default: TRUE

    Determines whether or not an item corresponding to this trace is shown in the legend.

  • legend
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: subplotid
    Default: legend

    Sets the reference to a legend to show this trace in. References to these legends are "legend", "legend2", "legend3", etc. Settings for these legends are set in the layout, under `layout.legend`, `layout.legend2`, etc.

  • legendrank
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: number
    Default: 1000

    Sets the legend rank for this trace. Items and groups with smaller ranks are presented on top/left side while with "reversed" `legend.traceorder` they are on bottom/right side. The default legendrank is 1000, so that you can use ranks less than 1000 to place certain items before all unranked items, and ranks greater than 1000 to go after all unranked items. When having unranked or equal rank items shapes would be displayed after traces i.e. according to their order in data and layout.

  • legendgroup
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: string
    Default: ""

    Sets the legend group for this trace. Traces and shapes part of the same legend group hide/show at the same time when toggling legend items.

  • legendgrouptitle

        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".

  • text
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: string or array of strings
    Default: ""

    Sets hover text elements associated with each sample point. If a single string, the same string appears over all the data points. If an array of string, the items are mapped in order to this trace's sample points.

    Examples: "x", "y", "x+y", "x+y+z", "all"
    Default: "all"

    Determines which trace information appear on hover. If `none` or `skip` are set, no information is displayed upon hovering. But, if `none` is set, click and hover events are still fired.

  • xhoverformat
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: string
    Default: ""

    Sets the hover text formatting rulefor `x` 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"By default the values are formatted using `xaxis.hoverformat`.

  • yhoverformat
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: string
    Default: ""

    Sets the hover text formatting rulefor `y` 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"By default the values are formatted using `yaxis.hoverformat`.

  • meta
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Assigns extra meta information associated with this trace that can be used in various text attributes. Attributes such as trace `name`, graph, axis and colorbar `title.text`, annotation `text` `rangeselector`, `updatemenues` and `sliders` `label` text all support `meta`. To access the trace `meta` values in an attribute in the same trace, simply use `%{meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` item in question. To access trace `meta` in layout attributes, use `%{data[n[.meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` and `n` is the trace index.

  • customdata
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: dataframe column, list, vector

  • yaxis
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: subplotid
    Default: y

    Sets a reference between this trace's y coordinates and a 2D cartesian y axis. If "y" (the default value), the y coordinates refer to `layout.yaxis`. If "y2", the y coordinates refer to `layout.yaxis2`, and so on.

  • xperiod
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string
    Default: 0

    Only relevant when the axis `type` is "date". Sets the period positioning in milliseconds or "M<n>" on the x axis. Special values in the form of "M<n>" could be used to declare the number of months. In this case `n` must be a positive integer.

    Default: "gregorian"

    Sets the calendar system to use with `x` date data.

  • uirevision
    Parent: data[type=ohlc]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Controls persistence of some user-driven changes to the trace: `constraintrange` in `parcoords` traces, as well as some `editable: TRUE` modifications such as `name` and `colorbar.title`. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`. Note that other user-driven trace attribute changes are controlled by `layout` attributes: `trace.visible` is controlled by `layout.legend.uirevision`, `selectedpoints` is controlled by `layout.selectionrevision`, and `colorbar.(x|y)` (accessible with `config: {editable: TRUE}`) is controlled by `layout.editrevision`. Trace changes are tracked by `uid`, which only falls back on trace index if no `uid` is provided. So if your app can add/remove traces before the end of the `data` array, such that the same trace has a different index, you can still preserve user-driven changes if you give each trace a `uid` that stays with it as it moves.
