Description

It seems to me that angleref works fine using px.scatter when using svg, and it does not work when using webgl.

angleref
Code: fig.update_traces(marker_angleref=, selector=dict(type='scatter'))

However, the scattergl page does not, but it is referenced that it should
angle
Code: fig.update_traces(marker_angle=, selector=dict(type='scattergl'))
Type: angle
Default: 0
Sets the marker angle in respect to angleref

Is this a bug? Or perhaps missing because webgl does not support angleref?

Research direction

Compare the scatter and scattergl reference entries linked in the report; done means establishing whether scattergl should support angleref and documenting or testing the resulting behavior.
