Animation deletes traces

Below is a minimal example, where using a slider to show different traces will delete another trace.

The example plots a grid of points and uses a slider to interactively display selected rows, however, the original grid plot disappears as soon as the slider is moved.

This looks like a bug to me. If it’s not, how can I prevent that trace from disappearing?

import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objects as go
# generate grid
N = 10
x, y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(0, 1, N), np.linspace(0, 1, N))
z = np.zeros((N, N))
# plot
fig = go.Figure(
    # all points (THIS DISAPPEARS!)
    data=[go.Scatter3d(x=x.flatten(), y=y.flatten(), z=z.flatten())],
    # single rows animated via slider
    frames=[go.Frame(data=[go.Scatter3d(x=x[i], y=y[i], z=z[i])], name=f"{i}") for i in range(N)],
    layout_sliders=[dict(steps=[dict(method='animate', args=[[f"{k}"]], label=f"{k}") for k in range(N)])])
fig.write_html('plot.html')
fig.show()

Two other weird things (potential bugs), which might be unrelated:

• Setting a marker size on the first trace also changes the marker size of the animated traces. Should that be the case?!
• The interactively opened plot behaves differently from opening the saved html plot (the second one starts playing the animation right away, the first one doesn’t).

I have also posted this in the community forum but without any reactions so far.

首先執行最小 Python 範例，並比較 fig.show() 的互動結果與儲存的 plot.html。調查動畫 frames 和 slider 行為，包括消失的網格 trace、共用的 marker 大小，以及不同的 autoplay 行為；當觀察到的行為獲得解釋，且確認的 bug 已在不破壞其他 trace 的情況下修正時，即表示完成。
