Description
Currently, I am trying to plot categorical variables in plotly. I run this
(This has incorrect result)
library(plotly)
p <- plot_ly(type = 'parcoords', line = list(color = 'blue'),
dimensions = list(
list(range = c(1,5),
constraintrange = c(1,2),
label = 'A', values = c(1,4)),
list(range = c(1,5),
tickvals = c(1.5,3,4.5),
label = 'B', values = c(3,1.5)),
list(range = c(1,2),
tickvals = c(1,2),
label = 'C', values = c(2,4),
ticktext = c('0','1')),
list(range = c(1,5),
label = 'D', values = c(4,2))
)
)
p
and this: (this has correct, expected result)
library(plotly)
p <- plot_ly(type = 'parcoords', line = list(color = 'blue'),
dimensions = list(
list(range = c(1,5),
constraintrange = c(1,2),
label = 'A', values = c(1,4)),
list(range = c(1,5),
tickvals = c(1.5,3,4.5),
label = 'B', values = c(3,1.5)),
list(range = c(1,2),
tickvals = c(1,2),
label = 'C', values = c(2,4),
ticktext = c(' 0 ',' 1 ')),
list(range = c(1,5),
label = 'D', values = c(4,2))
)
)
p
Notice that the only change is the 3rd ticktext. With spaces, it works correctly but without, it doesn't. Swapping the ('0', '1') out with ('1', '2') or ('male', 'female') also works correctly.
Expected behavior: There should be a 0 label at the bottom and 1 at the top.
Actual behavior: The top label is missing.

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
Start by running the two R plot_ly parcoords examples from the issue and compare the ticktext values with and without spaces. Trace the parallel-coordinates tick-label handling from that entry point; done means both numeric labels, including the top 1, render without added spaces.
