mode:text for regl-scatter2d
See original GitHub issueI have a few bio customers who need to display hundreds to thousands of single letter markers like in the below graph:
@dfcreative already has a great example of single-letter rendering for regl-scatter2d here: https://dfcreative.github.io/regl-scatter2d/copyrights.html
I’d like to propose that mode: text
be enabled for scattergl
, but only work for single letters (for now).
Note that mode: text
currently does not do anything for scattergl
: https://codepen.io/plotly/pen/dmZNjM
We’ve tried creating graphs like the above with SVG, but for a larger number of letters, they are too slow. Here is an SVG example with a mode: text
scatter
trace overlaid on a heatmap
trace: https://plot.ly/~jackp/18395/ (Note how long it takes to update when dragging the slider).
