Description
On the heels of #1849 being closed (via https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3217), here's a list of new transition types/tweens that we'll want to add, probably piece by piece, trace by trace:
- mark position tweening for all scatter types, and for bars (i.e. ranked bars that change rank)
- bar position tweens done in #4180 and #4186
- size tweening for everything that has a size: marker size for all scatter traces, height of bar/barpolar, box and violin parameters, text elements
- bar height tweens done in #4180
- color tweening for everything that has a color: bars, choropleths, boxes, whatever
- bar color tweens done in #4180
- range tweening for everything that has a range
- bar text color and font-size tweening https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/4186#issuecomment-533699952

Start by reviewing the transition work referenced in #1849, #4180, and #4186, including the remaining bar text color and font-size comment. Use the checklist in this issue to determine which position, size, color, and range tweening areas remain; done means the applicable listed trace types support those transitions.
