Deprecated text / use hovertext for traces that don't support on-graph text #3450
Description
Activity
We could start by just adding
hovertextin the relevant places... that increases consistency and breaks nothing :)Reacted by etpinard and Alex JohnsonAgreed that the end state should be no
textattributes that only ever appear on hover. But we should look at the traces that currently have no on-graph text and figure out which ones we can imagine adding it to in the future, before actually removing thetextattribute (in a major bump).But yes, step 1 can be adding
hovertexteverywhere it's relevant.Reacted by etpinard
Attribute
hovertextgot added (first in #1523) for traces that support on-graphtext. There are all thescatter*traces,pieandbar. Traces that support hover but do not support on-graph text currently usetextto set the "hover" text. As @nicolaskruchten points out, this is a little confusing.So, should we deprecate
text(while renaminghovetext) in traces that do not support on-graph text?
