JavaScript Figure Reference: icicle Traces

A icicle trace is an object with the key "type" equal to "icicle" (i.e. {"type": "icicle"}) and any of the keys listed below.

Visualize hierarchal data from leaves (and/or outer branches) towards root with rectangles. The icicle sectors are determined by the entries in "labels" or "ids" and in "parents".

  • type
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: "icicle"
  • name
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: string

    Sets the trace name. The trace name appears as the legend item and on hover.

  • visible
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: enumerated , one of ( true | false | "legendonly" )
    Default: true

    Determines whether or not this trace is visible. If "legendonly", the trace is not drawn, but can appear as a legend item (provided that the legend itself is visible).

  • legend
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: subplotid
    Default: legend

    Sets the reference to a legend to show this trace in. References to these legends are "legend", "legend2", "legend3", etc. Settings for these legends are set in the layout, under `layout.legend`, `layout.legend2`, etc.

  • legendrank
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: number
    Default: 1000

    Sets the legend rank for this trace. Items and groups with smaller ranks are presented on top/left side while with "reversed" `legend.traceorder` they are on bottom/right side. The default legendrank is 1000, so that you can use ranks less than 1000 to place certain items before all unranked items, and ranks greater than 1000 to go after all unranked items. When having unranked or equal rank items shapes would be displayed after traces i.e. according to their order in data and layout.

  • legendgrouptitle
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: object containing one or more of the keys listed below.

    Assigns id labels to each datum. These ids for object constancy of data points during animation. Should be an array of strings, not numbers or any other type.

  • parents
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: data array

    Sets the parent sectors for each of the sectors. Empty string items '' are understood to reference the root node in the hierarchy. If `ids` is filled, `parents` items are understood to be "ids" themselves. When `ids` is not set, plotly attempts to find matching items in `labels`, but beware they must be unique.

  • values
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: data array

    Sets the values associated with each of the sectors. Use with `branchvalues` to determine how the values are summed.

  • labels

    Default: "top left"

    Sets the positions of the `text` elements.

  • texttemplate
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: string or array of strings
    Default: ""

    Template string used for rendering the information text that appears on points. Note that this will override `textinfo`. Variables are inserted using %{variable}, for example "y: %{y}". Numbers are formatted using d3-format's syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example "Price: %{y:$.2f}". https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are formatted using d3-time-format's syntax %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day: %{2019-01-01|%A}". https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format for details on the date formatting syntax. Variables that can't be found will be replaced with the specifier. For example, a template of "data: %{x}, %{y}" will result in a value of "data: 1, %{y}" if x is 1 and y is missing. Variables with an undefined value will be replaced with the fallback value. All attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are `arrayOk: true`) are available. Finally, the template string has access to variables `currentPath`, `root`, `entry`, `percentRoot`, `percentEntry`, `percentParent`, `label` and `value`.

  • texttemplatefallback
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string
    Default: -

    Fallback string that's displayed when a variable referenced in a template is missing. If the boolean value 'false' is passed in, the specifier with the missing variable will be displayed.

  • hovertext
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: string or array of strings
    Default: ""

    Sets hover text elements associated with each sector. If a single string, the same string appears for all data points. If an array of string, the items are mapped in order of this trace's sectors. To be seen, trace `hoverinfo` must contain a "text" flag.

  • hoverinfo
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: flaglist string. Any combination of "label", "text", "value", "name", "current path", "percent root", "percent entry", "percent parent" joined with a "+" OR "all" or "none" or "skip".
    Examples: "label", "text", "label+text", "label+text+value", "all"
    Default: "label+text+value+name"

    Determines what trace information appears on hover. Flags are rendered in a fixed order; use `hovertemplate` if you need explicit control over the rendered string, including the order of fields and surrounding text.

  • hovertemplate
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: string or array of strings
    Default: ""

    Template string used for rendering the information that appear on hover box. Note that this will override `hoverinfo`. Variables are inserted using %{variable}, for example "y: %{y}" as well as %{xother}, {%_xother}, {%_xother_}, {%xother_}. When showing info for several points, "xother" will be added to those with different x positions from the first point. An underscore before or after "(x|y)other" will add a space on that side, only when this field is shown. Numbers are formatted using d3-format's syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example "Price: %{y:$.2f}". https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are formatted using d3-time-format's syntax %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day: %{2019-01-01|%A}". https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format for details on the date formatting syntax. Variables that can't be found will be replaced with the specifier. For example, a template of "data: %{x}, %{y}" will result in a value of "data: 1, %{y}" if x is 1 and y is missing. Variables with an undefined value will be replaced with the fallback value. The variables available in `hovertemplate` are the ones emitted as event data described at this link https://plotly.com/javascript/plotlyjs-events/#event-data. Additionally, all attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are `arrayOk: true`) are available. Finally, the template string has access to variables `currentPath`, `root`, `entry`, `percentRoot`, `percentEntry` and `percentParent`. Anything contained in tag `<extra>` is displayed in the secondary box, for example `<extra>%{fullData.name}</extra>`. To hide the secondary box completely, use an empty tag `<extra></extra>`.

  • hovertemplatefallback
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string
    Default: -

    Fallback string that's displayed when a variable referenced in a template is missing. If the boolean value 'false' is passed in, the specifier with the missing variable will be displayed.

  • meta
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Assigns extra meta information associated with this trace that can be used in various text attributes. Attributes such as trace `name`, graph, axis and colorbar `title.text`, annotation `text` `rangeselector`, `updatemenues` and `sliders` `label` text all support `meta`. To access the trace `meta` values in an attribute in the same trace, simply use `%{meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` item in question. To access trace `meta` in layout attributes, use `%{data[n[.meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or key of the `meta` and `n` is the trace index.

  • customdata
    Parent: data[type=icicle]
    Type: data array

    Assigns extra data each datum. This may be useful when listening to hover, click and selection events. Note that, "scatter" traces also appends customdata items in the markers DOM elements

  • domain

    Type: object containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • column
      Parent: data[type=icicle].domain
      Type: integer greater than or equal to 0

    • row
      Parent: data[type=icicle].domain
      Type: integer greater than or equal to 0
      Default: 0

      If there is a layout grid, use the domain for this row in the grid for this icicle trace.

    • x
      Parent: data[type=icicle].domain
      Type: array
      Default: [0, 1]

    Type: object containing one or more of the keys listed below.
    • autocolorscale
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: boolean
      Default: true

      Determines whether the colorscale is a default palette (`autocolorscale: true`) or the palette determined by `marker.colorscale`. Has an effect only if colors is set to a numerical array. In case `colorscale` is unspecified or `autocolorscale` is true, the default palette will be chosen according to whether numbers in the `color` array are all positive, all negative or mixed.

    • cauto
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: boolean
      Default: true

      Determines whether or not the color domain is computed with respect to the input data (here colors) or the bounds set in `marker.cmin` and `marker.cmax` Has an effect only if colors is set to a numerical array. Defaults to `false` when `marker.cmin` and `marker.cmax` are set by the user.

    • cmax
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: number

      Sets the upper bound of the color domain. Has an effect only if colors is set to a numerical array. Value should have the same units as colors and if set, `marker.cmin` must be set as well.

    • cmid
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: number

      Sets the mid-point of the color domain by scaling `marker.cmin` and/or `marker.cmax` to be equidistant to this point. Has an effect only if colors is set to a numerical array. Value should have the same units as colors. Has no effect when `marker.cauto` is `false`.

    • cmin
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: number

      Sets the lower bound of the color domain. Has an effect only if colors is set to a numerical array. Value should have the same units as colors and if set, `marker.cmax` must be set as well.

    • coloraxis
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: subplotid

      Sets a reference to a shared color axis. References to these shared color axes are "coloraxis", "coloraxis2", "coloraxis3", etc. Settings for these shared color axes are set in the layout, under `layout.coloraxis`, `layout.coloraxis2`, etc. Note that multiple color scales can be linked to the same color axis.

    • colorbar
      Parent: data[type=icicle].marker
      Type: object containing one or more of the keys listed below.
      • bgcolor
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar

      • bordercolor
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: color
        Default: "#444"

        Sets the axis line color.

      • borderwidth
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 0

        Sets the width (in px) or the border enclosing this color bar.

      • dtick
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        Sets the step in-between ticks on this axis. Use with `tick0`. Must be a positive number, or special strings available to "log" and "date" axes. If the axis `type` is "log", then ticks are set every 10^(n"dtick) where n is the tick number. For example, to set a tick mark at 1, 10, 100, 1000, ... set dtick to 1. To set tick marks at 1, 100, 10000, ... set dtick to 2. To set tick marks at 1, 5, 25, 125, 625, 3125, ... set dtick to log_10(5), or 0.69897000433. "log" has several special values; "L<f>", where `f` is a positive number, gives ticks linearly spaced in value (but not position). For example `tick0` = 0.1, `dtick` = "L0.5" will put ticks at 0.1, 0.6, 1.1, 1.6 etc. To show powers of 10 plus small digits between, use "D1" (all digits) or "D2" (only 2 and 5). `tick0` is ignored for "D1" and "D2". If the axis `type` is "date", then you must convert the time to milliseconds. For example, to set the interval between ticks to one day, set `dtick` to 86400000.0. "date" also has special values "M<n>" gives ticks spaced by a number of months. `n` must be a positive integer. To set ticks on the 15th of every third month, set `tick0` to "2000-01-15" and `dtick` to "M3". To set ticks every 4 years, set `dtick` to "M48"

      • exponentformat
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: enumerated , one of ( "none" | "e" | "E" | "power" | "SI" | "B" | "SI extended" )
        Default: "B"

        Determines a formatting rule for the tick exponents. For example, consider the number 1,000,000,000. If "none", it appears as 1,000,000,000. If "e", 1e+9. If "E", 1E+9. If "power", 1x10^9 (with 9 in a super script). If "SI", 1G. If "B", 1B. "SI" uses prefixes from "femto" f (10^-15) to "tera" T (10^12). "SI extended" covers instead the full SI range from "quecto" q (10^-30) to "quetta" Q (10^30). If "SI" or "SI extended" is used and the exponent is beyond the above ranges, the formatting rule will automatically be switched to the power notation.

      • labelalias
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: number or categorical coordinate string

        Replacement text for specific tick or hover labels. For example using {US: 'USA', CA: 'Canada'} changes US to USA and CA to Canada. The labels we would have shown must match the keys exactly, after adding any tickprefix or ticksuffix. For negative numbers the minus sign symbol used (U+2212) is wider than the regular ascii dash. That means you need to use −1 instead of -1. labelalias can be used with any axis type, and both keys (if needed) and values (if desired) can include html-like tags or MathJax.

      • len
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 1

        Sets the length of the color bar This measure excludes the padding of both ends. That is, the color bar length is this length minus the padding on both ends.

      • lenmode
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: enumerated , one of ( "fraction" | "pixels" )
        Default: "fraction"

        Determines whether this color bar's length (i.e. the measure in the color variation direction) is set in units of plot "fraction" or in "pixels. Use `len` to set the value.

      • minexponent
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: number greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 3

        Hide SI prefix for 10^n if |n| is below this number. This only has an effect when `tickformat` is "SI" or "B".

      • nticks
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: integer greater than or equal to 0
        Default: 0

        Specifies the maximum number of ticks for the particular axis. The actual number of ticks will be chosen automatically to be less than or equal to `nticks`. Has an effect only if `tickmode` is set to "auto".

      • orientation
        Parent: data[type=icicle].marker.colorbar
        Type: enumerated , one of ( "h" | "v" )
