Description

The insidetextorientation with possible values of "horizontal", "tangential", "radial" or "auto" works brilliantly :)
Sometimes, I would have liked to have tangential orientation for e.g. the first two branches and then radial for the third branch.
Would it be possible to accomplish this by passing the orientation per slice to insidetextorientation instead of only one value?

Thank you for considering this feature request and thank you for creating plotly!

Research direction

Start by tracing the sunburst chart entry point and its handling of insidetextorientation. Determine how a scalar orientation is applied today and what is needed to accept a value per slice. Done means horizontal, tangential, radial, and auto orientations can be selected independently for slices while the existing single-value behavior remains supported.
