描述

Hello! I have something which is maybe a bug. It's certainly how I expected plotly.py to work, although maybe it's just a known limitation of how layout templates work.

Plotly comes with various colorscales built in, which work great:

import plotly
rainbow = plotly.colors.get_colorscale("rainbow")
# gives
[[0.0, 'rgb(150,0,90)'],
 [0.125, 'rgb(0,0,200)'],
 [0.25, 'rgb(0,25,255)'],
 [0.375, 'rgb(0,152,255)'],
 [0.5, 'rgb(44,255,150)'],
 [0.625, 'rgb(151,255,0)'],
 [0.75, 'rgb(255,234,0)'],
 [0.875, 'rgb(255,111,0)'],
 [1.0, 'rgb(255,0,0)']]

This is a list of lists and works as expected: plotly.colors.validate_colorscale(rainbow) passes.

Now I'd like to extract the colorscale from a template. This where things don't work as expected:

diverging  = plotly.io.templates["plotly"].layout.colorscale.diverging
# gives
((0, '#8e0152'),
 (0.1, '#c51b7d'),
 (0.2, '#de77ae'),
 (0.3, '#f1b6da'),
 (0.4, '#fde0ef'),
 (0.5, '#f7f7f7'),
 (0.6, '#e6f5d0'),
 (0.7, '#b8e186'),
 (0.8, '#7fbc41'),
 (0.9, '#4d9221'),
 (1, '#276419'))

This is a tuple of tuples and does not pass plotly.colors.validate_colorscale(diverging), which raises:

_plotly_utils.exceptions.PlotlyError: A valid colorscale must be a list.

It's easy to convert this into a valid colorscale as diverging = [list(x) for x in diverging] but it seems strange that this is necessary.

Should the colorscale coming from a template be a list of lists already? Or should validate_colorscale accept tuple of tuples as valid? The real reason this matters is because plotly.colors.sample_colorscale runs validate_colorscale under the hood, which raises an error and means that sample_colorscale doesn't work.


Side note

AFAICT there's no way register a new colorscale in plotly other than through a template. plotly.colors.named_colorscales comes from _plotly_utils.basevalidators.ColorscaleValidator.named_colorscales, but that's private and has no method for adding a new scale.

ColorscaleValidator("", "").validate_coerce(diverging) works to do the tuple of tuples to list of lists conversion, but again it's not public, and it seems weird that it would be necessary to run any coercion on a colorscale coming from a template anyway.

调研方向

从 plotly.colors.validate_colorscale 和 sample_colorscale 开始,然后追踪 plotly.io.templates 如何通过 ColorscaleValidator 暴露 layout.colorscale 的值。比较内置的 list-of-lists 结果与模板的 tuple-of-tuples 结果以及现有的强制转换路径;当模板 colorscale 可以传递给 sample_colorscale 且不会出现报告的验证错误时,即表示完成。
