R Figure Reference: table Traces

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

A table trace accepts any of the keys listed below.

Table view for detailed data viewing. The data are arranged in a grid of rows and columns. Most styling can be specified for columns, rows or individual cells. Table is using a column-major order, ie. the grid is represented as a vector of column vectors.

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

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

  • visible
    Parent: data[type=table]
    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).

  • legend
    Parent: data[type=table]
    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=table]
    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.

  • legendgrouptitle

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.

    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.
