Scatter 'hv' shape variation

📊 Plotly Python
1

The documentation explains how to use different line shapes/interpolation in scatter plots.

Is it possible to achieve the ‘hv’ shape without the ‘v’ per se.

I am looking just to complete a forward fill horizontal line from each point until the next. Essentially not drawing a complete consecutive line, but instead a series of horizontal lines.

I’m sure this could be completed with drawing multiple traces of individual horizontal lines however i cant believe this would be the most performant way to achieve the desired result. Any help will be appreciated thank you.

I’m interested to use this feature too.

Hi,

would this be a valid solution?

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import random


x = list(range(0,99,1))
y = [random.randint(1, 100) for _ in range(100)]

x_modified = []
y_modified = []
for i in range(len(x) - 1):
    x_modified.extend([x[i], x[i+1], None]) 
    y_modified.extend([y[i], y[i], None])



fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(
    x=x_modified,
    y=y_modified,
    mode='lines',
    line={
        "shape" : 'linear'
    }
))

fig.show()
