Does plotly support qualitative colorscales (ie, colorscales that have discreet color values instead of a linear progression between hues), like Paired (which I’ve tried, and does not work)? And if not, is there any possible way to import or create one in something like matplotlib and bring it over into plotly? I’ve been unable to find any examples or guides that show any sort of colorscales besides ones that go from one hue to another.
You can specify any colorscale you want through the colorscale attribute. For easy qualitative colorscales with Plotly, try colorlover:
