Scattergl boxpoints on box plots?

[yniknafs]

Sorry to hammer you again with a boxplot-related issue. I was curious how difficult it would be to employ a scattergl-like functionality to the boxpoints of the boxplot. Not sure if you are using an additional scatter trace under the hood for this? I am currently making some box plots with ~20k points, and rendering all boxpoints is prohibitively slow. Rendering just outliers works, but not ideal. I know I can add a scatter layer on top, but getting jitter to work with that will be mayhem, probably (see #299).

Attempt I found on one of the issue threads here.

Yeah that would be nice! I'm not sure if this should be a special boxpoint mode or part of different trace type (e.g. boxgl), but yeah plotting plotting 20k points with our svg renderer is too much for most hardware.

Unfortunately, this will be a low priority item for us unless someone is willing to sponsor it

No problem. Thanks for the response. Makes sense that its low priority, figured it was worth asking if it would have been easy to plug in some underlying functionality used for scattergl. Thanks for everything you've done. plotly.js is really awesome.

Hi, I was wondering if this was ever implemented? I am trying to work with >1M points.

Hi - this issue has been sitting for a while, so as part of our effort to tidy up our public repositories I'm going to close it. If it's still a concern, we'd be grateful if you could open a new issue (with a short reproducible example if appropriate) so that we can add it to our stack. Cheers - @gvwilson
