add configuration property per shape to prevent user edits

Hello,

I've been looking for a means to easily configure shape definitions such that any user edits (e.g. repositioning the shape) to them are blocked.

At this time of writing, the figure reference for shapes doesn't appear to have a property where one can achieve the above (e.g. an editable property). In case I've missed something in the API that makes this effortless, I'd appreciate any pointers.

In the meanwhile, I guess there are workarounds, such as my following example below which makes use of mouse event handlers:

import Plotly from 'plotly.js';

const data = [
  {
    x: [1, 2, 3, 4],
    y: [2, 4, 8, 16],
    type: 'scatter',
    mode: 'lines'
  }
];

const layout = {
  shapes: [
    {
      type: 'rect',
      x0: 2,
      x1: 3,
      y0: 5,
      y1: 10
    }
  ]
};

const config = {
  editable: true
};

const plot = document.getElementById('plot');

Plotly.newPlot(plot, data, layout, config);

let blockMoveEvents = false;

plot.addEventListener('mousedown', e => {
  if (e.target.closest('.shapelayer') == null) {
    return;
  }
  blockMoveEvents = true;
});
document.addEventListener('mousemove', e => {
  if (blockMoveEvents) {
    e.stopImmediatePropagation();
  }
});
document.addEventListener('mouseup', e => {
  blockMoveEvents = false;
});

Here's a CodeSandbox setup with the above.

Inizia con il riferimento alle shape del layout e con la configurazione di Plotly.newPlot mostrata nel report, inclusi config.editable e il workaround di CodeSandbox collegato. Traccia il modo in cui vengono gestite le interazioni con le shape e determina dove deve risiedere la modificabilità per singola shape. Il lavoro è completato quando le shape protette non possono essere riposizionate, mentre le altre interazioni modificabili del plot continuano a funzionare.
