Description


I have a stacked geom_area plot in ggplot which looks fine, but somehow the ggplotly version shows empty. Below is the toy example. (the issue seems to do with position_fill(), if getting rid of it, the plot can run normally)..

R version: 4.3.2, plotly version: 4.10.3

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)

df <- expand_grid(tibble(x = seq(10), y = seq(10)), g = letters[1:5])
pl <- df %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_area(aes(x = x, y = y, fill = g), position = 'fill')
 
ggplotly(pl)

Research direction

Run the provided R example with ggplot2 and plotly, then trace the ggplotly conversion for geom_area with position='fill'. Confirm the fix by ensuring the stacked area plot renders with data rather than appearing empty, while retaining the existing behavior when position='fill' is removed.
