Whaterfall layout restyling (only first column)

Plotly R, MATLAB, Julia, Net

I want to be able to restyle first bar (base) to color gray.
I’m not sure if is possible restyle that specific bar?

In this example is green color. I want to restyle to same as totals.

library(plotly)

y = c(40, 10, 10, 0, -10, -10, 0, 10, 10, 0, -10, 0)
x = c("start", "1-increasing", "2-increasing", "1-subtotal",
      "1-decrease", "2-decrease", "2-subtotal",
      "3-increase", "4-increase",
      "3-subtotal", "3-decrease", 
      "end")
measure = c("relative", "relative", "relative",
            "total", "relative", "relative", "total",
            "relative", "relative", "total", "relative",
            "total")
data = data.frame(x=factor(x,levels = x), y, measure)

p <- plot_ly(data, x = ~x, y = ~y, 
               measure = ~measure, 
               type = "waterfall", 
               base = 0,
               decreasing = list(marker = list(color = "Amber",
                                               line = list(color = "red",
                                                           width = 1))),
               increasing = (marker = list(color = "green")),
               totals = list(marker = list(color = "gray", line = list(color = "gray", width = 1))),
               showlegend = TRUE # FALSE
               )
p <- p %>%
  layout(title = "whaterfall")
p

Sorry for the late response. In your example you have the first bar listed as “relative” in the measure. This is why it is coming out green. Change this to “absolute” or “total”.

measure = c("absolute", "relative", "relative",
            "total", "relative", "relative", "total",
            "relative", "relative", "total", "relative",
            "total")

There is also a way to do this with css, if you wanted a completely different color for any of the bars.

g.point:nth-of-type(x) path {
    fill: lightskyblue !important;
    stroke: lightskyblue !important;
}

replacing x with the bar number you want to update.
