[dependabot]

Bumps Plotly.NET from 2.0.0-preview.6 to 4.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from Plotly.NET's releases.

Plotly.NET v4.0.0

This release of Plotly.NET focuses mainly on QOL improvements and keeping up with plotly.js changes.

Plotly.NET

Milestone link with all the fixed/closed issues

• Add high level arg for base layer style to all mapbox charts

• Add ShowXAxisRangeSlider argument for Chart.OHLC and Chart.Candlestick

• Add multicategory data support for 2D traces

• Add high level camera projection args to all 3D chart apis

• Add missing Config params

• Refactor DisplayOptions - An object to control the way Charts are displayed in generated HTML files:

  • Add various functions to manipulate DisplayOptions, Refactor DisplayOptions as DynamicObj (again)
  • Add PlotlyJSReference type and logic to handle various ways of referencing plotly.js in HTML output:
    • Full: Include the full plotly.js source code. The currently supported plotly.js version is now included as embedded resource in the package. HTML files using this option are self-contained and can be used offline.
    • CDN: The default. uses a script tag in the head of the generated HTML to load plotly.js from a CDN.
    • Require: Use requirejs to load plotly. This option is now used in Plotly.NET.Interactive. Unnecessary usage of require.js is now removed from all other options but this.
    • NoReference: Don't include any plotly.js reference. Useful if you want to embed the output into another page that already references plotly.

• Use Giraffe.ViewEngine as html dsl

• Keep up with plotlyjs 2.x incremental updates:

  • v2.18:
    • Add sync tickmode option
  • v2.17:
    • Add shift and autoshift to cartesian y axes to help avoid overlapping of multiple axes
    • Introduce group attributes for scatter trace i.e. alignmentgroup, offsetgroup, scattermode and scattergap
    • Add marker.cornerradius attribute to treemap trace
  • v2.16:
    • Add bounds to mapbox subplots
    • Add clustering options to scattermapbox
  • v2.15:
    • Add entrywidth and entrywidthmode to legend
    • Add minreducedwidth and minreducedheight to layout for increasing control over automargin
    • Add two new arrow marker symbols
    • Add angle, angleref and standoff to marker and add backoff to line
  • v2.14:
    • Add editSelection option to config
    • Add support for sankey links with arrows
  • v2.13:
    • Add flaglist options including "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "width" and "height" to control the direction of automargin on cartesian axes
    • Add selections, newselection and activeselection layout attributes to have persistent and editable selections over cartesian subplots
  • v2.12:
    • Implement various options to position and style minor ticks and grid lines on cartesian axis types

Changelog

Sourced from Plotly.NET's changelog.

2.0.0 +

Starting from 2.0.0, Versions of Plotly.NET and expansion packages are decoupled, meaning this single realease notes page does not work anymore.

For the individual package release notes, please refer to these files:

• Plotly.NET
• Plotly.NET.CSharp
• Plotly.NET.Interactive
• Plotly.NET.ImageExport

2.0.0 - Apr 24 2022

Plotly.NET finally has reached all milestones for 2.0 and is ready for a stable release.

This release is the culmination of almost 2 years of work in >500 commits by 17 contributors.

Here is an attempt to visualize the history of these changes in a few seconds:

(made with gource)

All APIs have changed significantly - this release is incompatible with 1.x and many 2.x-preview/beta versions.

TL;DR

• All plotly chart/trace types!
• Unified API!
• chart rendering in notebooks!
• programmatic static image export!
• Exhaustive docs!
• We have a discord server, feel free to ask questions there!

Core library

General

• The API layer model has refined and used for every type of plotly object abstraction. In brief,
  • There are 5 main categories of abstractions: Trace (chart data and type), Layout(non-data chart styling), Config(render options), DisplayOptions(html display options), StyleParam(DSL for styling options)
  • Many properties used in these levels are themselves objects, which are in the respective *Objects namespace (e.g. Geo, which determines map layout of geo traces is an object on the Layout and therefore in the LaoutObjects namespace.)
  • every object is based on DynamicObj and its properties can therefore be further customised by dynamic member assignment. Therefore, every plotly property can be set manually, even those which do not have direct abstractions.
• There are now several Trace types for each kind of subplot (Trace2D, Trace3D, etc.) and eqivalent Chart types (Chart2D, Chart3D, etc). while not visible from the top level api (everything kan be accessed via the unified Chart API), this greatly improves correct multi chart layouting.
• There are 3 ways of creating charts with increasing level of customization:
  1. The Chart API as a unified API surface for chart creation and styling
     • Chart.<ChartType> (e.g. Chart.Point) for chart creation from data and some chart specific styling options
     • Chart.with<Style or object> (e.g. Chart.withXAxisStyle) for styling of chart objects
  2. Creation of Chart objects by manually creating Trace, Layout and Config objects with many more optional customization parameters
  3. Exclusive usage of DynamicObj - you can translate any plotly.js javascript with this method.
