plotly.js: left menu in the "Full Reference" page is missing important entries

The current left menu is a bit confusing. In my view, there are important entries that are missing, such as these:

  • Layout -> ternary
  • Layout -> mapbox
  • Layout -> polar

I think they are important for 2 reasons

  • they provide a "mental map" of the main / root properties in the layout object.
  • they provide an easy way to scroll to that section of (gigantic) documentation page

Event better would be to have all the root properties present in the left menu. Currently some of those properties are present, but many others are missing, which is confusing. For instance, these are present:

  • Layout -> font
  • Layout -> title

But these are missing:

  • Layout -> titlefont
  • Layout -> autosize

This incoherence makes no sense in my opinion.

I'm glad to help with this issue, if anyone can give me some guidance.

Thanks in advance.
