3D Scatter Plot marker->line->width attribute appears to be broken on some hardware

islanddove commented 5 years ago

Working with 3D scatter plots, I discovered that changing the marker line width attribute doesn't seem to do anything. It always is sticking with the default value of one pixel when being rendered.

The only other reference to this bug that I could find is this.

This bug is easily reproduced with this jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/dolsen1993/oczLs7qj/

@islanddove you may enable the line width in scatter3d by putting line container in the trace container not marker container. Here is an example.

@islanddove if what you're repoting is indeed similar to https://community.plot.ly/t/scatter-3d-marker-line-width-only-affects-to-legend/14378 which appears hardward-dependent - would you mind sharing a screenshot of what you're seeing? Thanks!

... oh and @islanddove could you please tell which browser and OS you're using? Thanks very much!

I am concerned with the line around the markers themselves, not the lines connecting them. I apologize if my wording was misleading.

... oh and @islanddove could you please tell which browser and OS you're using? Thanks very much!

Originally discovered using Chrome on Windows 7. On chrome on macOS Mojave, my jsfiddle is still showing the same behavior.

Likely related to gl.lineWidth which is no longer supported on all browsers.

Is this working on any hardware in the office @archmoj @etpinard ? Not working here on a 2015 MacBook pro.

archmoj commented 5 years ago

@nicolaskruchten The gl.lineWidth draws work on my machine running Ubuntu. But yes one should rewrite parts of 3d modules to make sure webgl lines with thickness render everywhere.

I confirm having that erroneous behaviour on OSX High Sierra, with both Chrome and Firefox (latests versions)

Hello, I have this problem in Windows WSL while running on a Jupyter Notebook on Chrome (plotly 4.4.1), any update/suggestions? Thanks!

If anyone comes along this and needs a hack before this is fixed.

Duplicate the markers and set their size slightly larger (this will be your border) and turn off the legend for this extra marker.
