Range breaks in plotly R #1789

Open rajanprabu opened 4 years ago

rajanprabu commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Recently Plotly introduced breaks on date axes ( plotly v 4.6.0 ). They are pretty handy to remove weekends and missing dates while plotting. So far the fix was to make the Date as type =Category. But this makes the range slider not working. Thats also why this rangebreak was brought up. I dont know if its available in R yet.

A small workable script is given below

library(readr)
library(plotly)

a <- read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/finance-charts-apple.csv")

plot_ly(a[450:500,], x = ~Date, y = ~AAPL.High, type='scatter', mode = 'markers') %>%
  layout(xaxis =  list(
    rangebreaks= list (
      values= c("2016-12-25", "2016-12-24","2016-12-26","2017-01-01"))
  ))

Screenshot of the output:

This doesnt hide the missing dates, but it doesnt give any error either. I was wondering what am I doing wrong here.

Thanks

Hi, I think this feature would be very handy. Unfortunately I face the same problem as @rajanprabu and cannot locally reproduce https://plotly.com/r/time-series/ code about rangebreaks.

Thanks,

Jan
