Ignore certain traces in autoscaling

[tim-tx]

Feature request to ignore certain traces when doing autoscaling.

My use case is that I have a few scatter plots with colored shapes in the background indicating categories of the data. The category shapes are implemented as traces and are hidden from legend. If I mute some of the scatter plots, it would be ideal if scale adjusts to the data that remain. As it is, autoscale will be constant, just adjusted to the background shapes.

Including shapes in this would also be super useful!

I request support for annotations and the like too.

Hi - we are tidying up stale issues and PRs in Plotly's public repositories so that we can focus on things that are still important to our community. Since this one has been sitting for a while, I'm going to close it; if it is still a concern, please add a comment letting us know what recent version of our software you've checked it with so that I can reopen it and add it to our backlog. If you'd like to submit a PR, we'd be happy to prioritize a review, and if it's a request for tech support, please post in our community forum. Thank you - @gvwilson

@gvwilson this is feature is still not implemented in the most recent version of Plotly. Thanks :)

thanks @carschandler - I'll reopen it and add it to our backlog, but realistically, we're not going to get to it any time soon :-(

No worries! If I find some spare time I may mess around with trying to implement it.
