parcoords documentation mentions non-existent property

See original GitHub issue

In the documentation for the parcoords chart, under the dimensions section, in tickvals and ticktext it says:

Only has an effect if tickmode is set to “array”.

However, I’ve read the entire documentation for parcoords and there is no tickmode property (except in the colorbar section which is unrelated).

So, if I’m understanding correctly, then the documentation is wrong. Probably a copy+paste bug where someone forgot to remove the reference to tickmode?

p.s. is this the right place to report documentation issues? or only code issues? p.p.s. it’s also possible that this is a code issue, meaning that the tickmode was supposed to exist in the code but doesn’t.

Hi @JamesPHoughton,

These properties are coming in plotly.py 4.1.0. They were just released in Plotly.js 1.49.0 a couple weeks ago. I guess the docs got ahead of us!

You can install version 4.1.0rc1 (released yesterday) if you’d like to try them out now.

We’re working on a way of locking the Py docs and Py versions more tightly together so this kind of thing doesn’t happen any more… sorry for the confusion!
