Bug: Colorbar duplicated when specifying color and symbol in marker argument
Whenever I plot a 3d scatter with color and symbol, the colorbar seems to be duplicated. This issue does not occur when symbol is removed so I believe it is an issue with the combination of the two.
library(tidyverse)
mtcars <- mtcars %>% mutate(make = substr(word(rownames(mtcars), 1), 1, 1), model = word(rownames(mtcars), 2))
pca <- PCAtools::pca(t(mtcars[,c(1:4)]), metadata = mtcars[,c("carb","gear","qsec", "make", "model")])
p <- plot_ly(data = pca$rotated,
x = ~PC1, y = ~PC2, z = ~PC3,
height = 600,
marker = list(color = pca$metadata$qsec,
colorscale = "Jet",
colorbar = list(title = "Test",
y = 0.5, x = 0, len = 0.5)),
symbol = pca$metadata$make)
p
I'm facing a very similar issue. I'm combining a colorscale with 2 different symbols. However, plotly creates 3 different colorscales (a default viridis one, and one custom colorscale for each symbol). And, it puts the default (viridis) on top of the others with no option to control it.
I described my issue on stackoverflow before being pointed to this bug report https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79400241/r-plotly-with-2-different-symbols-and-using-colorscale-are-messed-up-with-highli
