Add point (x, y) with Plotly.extendTraces

[chkhetiani]

I’m trying to extend my second trace with
Plotly.extendTraces(‘chart’, { x: [[xVal]], y: [[YVal]] }, [1]); // second trace
Although it turns out I cant pass x parameter (only y).
How does extendTraces guess x value?
Is there any way I can specify x value too?

That shouldn’t be. Would you mind sharing a reproducible example to help us debug?

Okay, I got the same problem. This doesn’t work:

let value_x = [pointValue[1]];
let value_y = [pointValue[2]];
console.log(pointValue[1], pointValue[2]);
Plotly.extendTraces('graphDiv', {
x: [[value_x]],
y: [[value_y]]
} , [7]);

But if I hard code the values like this it works:

let value_x = [pointValue[1]];
let value_y = [pointValue[2]];
console.log(pointValue[1], pointValue[2]);
Plotly.extendTraces('graphDiv', {
x: [[20]],
y: [[20]]
} , [7]);

I also tried to use parseFloat on those values just to make sure they were the correct type but that didn’t change anything.

@Grokvillen

let value_x = [pointValue[1]]; let value_y = [pointValue[2]];

this was wrong… i made it a sub -sub array.

let value_x = pointValue[1];
let value_y = pointValue[2];

and it’s working!
