Specifying a plot title #1451
Description
There is inconsistency in the documentation how to customize the plot title. In [the R complete reference documentation] it tells you specify a title by using list object with elements called text,color etc.
However the documentation on the project website still uses title="some string".
I am using R 3.5.2. and plotly 4.8. from CRAN. The way from the R reference documentation does not work for me...
plot_ly()%>%
layout(
title = list(text = 'sample plot', color = 'rgb(217,83,79)')
) %>%
add_trace(x=1:7,y=round(runif(7)*7),type="scatter",mode="lines+marker")...the title="some string" works though:
plot_ly()%>%
layout(
title = 'sample plot'
) %>%
add_trace(x=1:7,y=round(runif(7)*7),type="scatter",mode="lines+marker")I discovered the issue through by answering a question on stackoverflow

You won't be able to use
layout.title.textuntil the R package upgrades to plotly.js 1.43 or higherhttps://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/releases/tag/v1.43.0
