Description
When using FigureWidget, the shapes property does not update properly.
Here is an example:
fig = go.Figure()
fig.update_layout(
modebar={"add": ["drawline", "drawclosedpath", "eraseshape"]},
)
widget = go.FigureWidget(fig)
widget.show()
When I draw a shape, widget.layout["shapes"] remains empty. On the other hand, widget.layout._props["shapes"] is populated correctly.
This is using Plotly 6.2.0.
