Scatterplot 'Ordinal' data redraw to 'Nominal' data - bug

[destradafilm]

If my scatterplot start with an array of of Nominal data ('strings') and I change the data to Ordinal data ('numbers') and then 'redraw' it works just fine

But there's a bug

If I draw my chart with 'Ordinal' first and change it to 'Nominal' and then redraw it doesn't display the Nominal data or any points...the y axis in my example stays as numbers and the points disappear

Very similar to #1231

@destradafilm you'll need to clear the xaxis.type before calling redraw.

By the way, Plotly.redraw is set to 🔪 in v2, so we probably start logging a deprecation warning.

@destradafilm there's an opened PR #1285 which attempts to clear axis types on newPlot. I'm not particularly happy with it at the moment. That said, the issue you're pointing out is very much known, so I'll close this ticket.

Yup, that works! It's fixed on the same codepen if anyone else needs a working example:
