Error when add_trace histogram type

Hello guys, Good afternoon.

I think we have a bug when try to create a Histogram trace intoa scatter plot.
in the older versions I was able to create without put one of the axis (x for horizontal and y for vertical).
with this new version I need to put both axis for any trace and that is a problem because for Histagram is only one or another.

in my case I just need to declare the x because I want my histogram in horizontal but I receive the follow error:

Warning: Error in : Variables must be length 1 or 827.
Problem variables: ‘y’

Can you help me please?

I’m using:
Windows 7 64bits
R: 3.3.3
Plotly 4.6.0

tks

Hi @fepshampshire, can you share your code?

yes, sure:

Tkss!

the error is exactly in this part:
PS: I just tried to put a “mode” as well but without success.

add_trace(
  x        = DATA,
  type     = "histogram",
  name     = "",
  text     = "",
  histnorm = "probability",
  marker   = list(color = 'salmon'),
  yaxis    = 'y2',
  showlegend = FALSE,
  xaxis = "x1",
  yaxis = "y2",
  hoverinfo = "x+y+text",
  xbins =
    list(
      start = DATA.min,
      end = DATA.max,
      size = (DATA.max - DATA.min)/( 1.5* sqrt(length(DATA)) ) )
) %>%

Try adding inherit=FALSE to each add_trace() layer

Now its working!!! Tks Carson!!!
tks so much.

cheers.
