Many properties in plotly.js can have multiple types and are interpreted differently depending on that type.
A complex example is Color
, which can be either a single string (making all e.g. markers the same color), an array of strings representing color of individual points, values mapping to the relative intensity of a colorscale, etc.
While Color
is complex enough to warrant its own type in Plotly.NET, there is another prominent case that should be handled differently, and that is the case where properties can either be a single value, or an array of values of the same type. Examples are the marker properties size
and opacity
.
These cases will be handled like marker sizes (see for example BubbleCharts) in 2.0:
- all functions (meaning TraceStyle functions, Chart functions and extension methods) will get two arguments:
?<Property>
and?Multi<Properties>
- As both could be set in a single call, The rule is that
?Multi<Properties>
will always overrule?<Property>
