Awesome! It's clear to me how I would add dots or not fill markers, but maybe you could just do a few examples of that on the right? I.e., put another column at the right with a few examples of using |

I'll see what I can do. This layout is pretty much saturated for a 500px X 500px docs figure. |

new fig --> https://plot.ly/~etpinard/435/500/500/ |

yup! that's perfect! 🐖 |

... I'd love to get 👍 from @alexander-daniel or @chriddyp before merging this. |
|
🍧 delicious! |
|
is the marker number the only way to do this? if you can also supply a string, still, then I think we should include it. |
|
@chriddyp correct. The corresponding marker symbol strings appear on hover. |

is it confusing that this will be peoples first introduction to setting arrays for attributes inside a trace? previously, we introduced this concept in the bubble charts section. people might think that to set a trace to square symbols , you have to set a symbol array, and set every single element in that array to "square". .. you know what I mean?

another solution might be to include an example with customized per -trace properties, e.g. color, symbol, and then include a "prepend" or "append" (cc @EnginEAR, @alex-vados) note that has a link to this example, "to see all possible marker types"

Good point.
Would you recommend making 45 traces instead?
Or putting https://plot.ly/~etpinard/435/500/500/ is bubble-charts/ ?

we might also want to include an example like (or identical) to the bubble charts example in "line-and-scatter" section, to show people how to set properties as an array inside a trace

or just a few traces (5) and include a prepend section with a link to the reference section and your example of every single symbol type

@alex-vados - could you wire in the prepend and append section to the docs template?
|
Hmm. Ok I'll wait for a consensus before merging this. |
|
Or, to relate to #18, maybe we should have an Advanced styling section separated from Chart types with pages for color, color scales, symbols, etc ... |
|
I think this should probably get linked elsewhere as it applies to both bubbles and line+scatter. for my 2 cents. |
|
@etpinard, is this PR still relevant? |
|
@theengineear Relevant for sure. I still think we should have this example in our docs. That said,
Thoughts? |
|
Gotcha, I thought it might have gotten into documentation through a different branch. Yeah, this should definitely be in there. Perhaps a name like "Plot styling" might attract better searches though? Either way, yeah, I could foresee a number of examples getting filed there. |
|
I like the sound of Plot styling. @alexander-daniel @chriddyp Thoughts? |
|
All the colorscale plots on https://plot.ly/python/heatmaps/ would better fit under Plot styling / Color scales in my mind. |
|
Plot styling! I think that's a good idea. Moving to another repo! |
