Description
I am trying to delete some data from a heat fig, and it doesn't seem to be possible with patch. With patch, you would return something like
fig = Patch()
del fig['data'][0][x][0]
to delete the first item in the heatfig. The issue is that the heatfig has the following structure:
{ "data": [
{
"x": ["2021-12-21T19:58:00.542000", "2021-12-21T19:58:01.542000", "2021-12-21T19:58:02.542000" ],
"y": [13500.0, 13503.33591, 13506.67183 ],
"z": [[599.8054, 581.1404, 570.4771 ],
[678.9323, 644.2858, 610.9979 ],
[576.6772, 568.9164, 565.6251 ],
}]}
and so you would need to loop through each list in the z field to remove the first item as well (as the heatfig is a 3D array). We can't know ahead of time how many items are in the z field making it impossible to delete data.
Basically, if you want to remove the first timestamp in the fig, you would need the data to look like:
{ "data": [
{
"x": ["2021-12-21T19:58:01.542000", "2021-12-21T19:58:02.542000" ],
"y": [13500.0, 13503.33591, 13506.67183 ],
"z": [[581.1404, 570.4771 ],
[644.2858, 610.9979 ],
[568.9164, 565.6251 ],
}]}
I don't want to load in the whole fig as state because it is quite large (and defeats the purpose of using a Patch()).
I haven't found a work around for this yet.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the Patch() heat-figure example and trace the existing patch behavior for nested x, y, and z data. Done means a timestamp can be removed from the figure, with corresponding z values updated, without loading the entire figure state.
