    • categoryarray
      Parent: data[type=parcats].dimensions[]
      Type: dataframe column, list, vector

      Sets the order in which categories in this dimension appear. Only has an effect if `categoryorder` is set to "array". Used with `categoryorder`.

      Type: enumerated , one of ( "trace" | "category ascending" | "category descending" | "array" )
      Default: "trace"

      Specifies the ordering logic for the categories in the dimension. By default, plotly uses "trace", which specifies the order that is present in the data supplied. Set `categoryorder` to "category ascending" or "category descending" if order should be determined by the alphanumerical order of the category names. Set `categoryorder` to "array" to derive the ordering from the attribute `categoryarray`. If a category is not found in the `categoryarray` array, the sorting behavior for that attribute will be identical to the "trace" mode. The unspecified categories will follow the categories in `categoryarray`.

    • displayindex
      Parent: data[type=parcats].dimensions[]
      Type: integer

      The display index of dimension, from left to right, zero indexed, defaults to dimension index.

    • values
      Parent: data[type=parcats].dimensions[]
      Type: dataframe column, list, vector
      Default:

      Dimension values. `values[n]` represents the category value of the `n`th point in the dataset, therefore the `values` vector for all dimensions must be the same (longer vectors will be truncated).

    • visible
      Parent: data[type=parcats].dimensions[]
      Type: boolean
      Default: TRUE

      Shows the dimension when set to `TRUE` (the default). Hides the dimension for `FALSE`.

    Parent: data[type=parcats]
    Type: flaglist string. Any combination of "count", "probability" joined with a "+" OR "all" or "none" or "skip".
    Examples: "count", "probability", "count+probability", "all"
    Default: "all"

    Determines which trace information appear on hover. If `none` or `skip` are set, no information is displayed upon hovering. But, if `none` is set, click and hover events are still fired.

  • hovertemplate
    Parent: data[type=parcats]
    Type: string
    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. 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, every attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are `arrayOk: TRUE`) are available. This value here applies when hovering over dimensions. Note that `"categorycount`, "colorcount" and "bandcolorcount" are only available when `hoveron` contains the "color" flagFinally, the template string has access to variables `count`, `probability`, `category`, `categorycount`, `colorcount` and `bandcolorcount`. 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>`.

  • meta
    Parent: data[type=parcats]
    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.

    • cmin
      Parent: data[type=parcats].line
      Type: number

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

      • dtick
        Parent: data[type=parcats].line.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"

        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.

      • labelalias
        Parent: data[type=parcats].line.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.

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, every attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are `arrayOk: TRUE`) are available. This value here applies when hovering over lines.Finally, the template string has access to variables `count` and `probability`.

      Type: enumerated , one of ( "normal" | "small-caps" | "all-small-caps" | "all-petite-caps" | "petite-caps" | "unicase" )
      Default: "normal"

      Sets the variant of the font.

    • weight
      Parent: data[type=parcats].tickfont
      Type: integer between or equal to 1 and 1000
      Default: normal

      Sets the weight (or boldness) of the font.

  • uirevision
    Parent: data[type=parcats]
    Type: number or categorical coordinate string

    Controls persistence of some user-driven changes to the trace: `constraintrange` in `parcoords` traces, as well as some `editable: TRUE` modifications such as `name` and `colorbar.title`. Defaults to `layout.uirevision`. Note that other user-driven trace attribute changes are controlled by `layout` attributes: `trace.visible` is controlled by `layout.legend.uirevision`, `selectedpoints` is controlled by `layout.selectionrevision`, and `colorbar.(x|y)` (accessible with `config: {editable: TRUE}`) is controlled by `layout.editrevision`. Trace changes are tracked by `uid`, which only falls back on trace index if no `uid` is provided. So if your app can add/remove traces before the end of the `data` array, such that the same trace has a different index, you can still preserve user-driven changes if you give each trace a `uid` that stays with it as it moves.
