gl2d known limitations

See original GitHub issue

A list of known limitations in gl2d graphs in comparison with svg2d feature set:

image export isn’t reliable (meaning gl2d graphs have no image test support)
scatter mode: 'text' (for text charts) is not available
‘free’ axes and ‘overlaying’ axes are not available. But subplots, insets, shared axes work. Hurdles: free axes with custom ‘position’ would need an option to make a gap between the data-box and the axis in gl-plot2d, overlaying axes would need more logic around when to show grid lines, scene backgroud color and have hover events propagate down. ✅ Fixed with regl.
data-reference annotations/shapes are not available (paper-reference annotations/shapes work)
fill options tonexty, tonexty, and toself are not avaliable (tozerox and tozeroy work) ✅ Fixed with regl.
the marker.symbol is pretty good since v1.28.0 but not on-par with svg ✅ Fixed with regl.
px-specified line.dash are not available
no line.shape: 'spline' update: 'hv', 'vh', 'hvh', 'vhv' added in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3087
axis titles are not centered (positioning algo does not consider text width)
tick marks don’t support \n (most common in date axes)
axes don’t support decreasing (custom or with autorange: 'reversed') ranges. ✅ Fixed with regl.
hovermode x and y are not available (toggling hover on/off in modebar works). ✅ Fixed with regl.
no support for axis fixedrange (would need to tweak gl-select-box). ✅ Fixed with regl.
double click and shift click interactions are not supported. ✅ Fixed with regl.
cartesian + gl2d subplot on the same graph are not supported. ✅ Fixed with regl.
plotly_hover, plotly_unhover and plotly_click are not emitted [done in #994]
setting hoverinfo to 'none' should disable the hover spikes. ✅ Fixed with regl.
a hover spikes sometimes appears prematurely after initial Plotly.plot call
select box and lasso selections are not supported
single-axis zoom/pan and corner zoom interactions are not supported
zoom-box doesn’t follow cursor outside the plot bounds (i.e. no cover slip). ✅ Fixed with regl.

can you also include ADD d3 events to plotly_click plotly_hover plotly_unhover events? Same as non webgl version?

… if so, the only remaining items in the list above are:

scatter mode: ‘text’ (for text charts) is not available DONE in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/2737
no line.shape: 'spline' now in -> https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/3229

pretty good 🎉
