研究方向

首先檢查現有的 go.Scatter 入口點,以及 Plotly 如何表示 marker 和 line 的樣式。此 issue 未指定 repository 檔案或測試,且 API 的選擇保持開放;完成標準是提供原生的 stem-plot 介面,將 stem 繪製到 x 軸、放置 marker,並支援 marker 和 line 的自訂。

描述

feature P3
Feature Request: Add support for stem plots

Description:
The stem plot is widely used in MATLAB/Octave/Python(matplotlib.pyplot.stem) to represent discrete data with markers and stems (vertical lines) connecting the data points to the x-axis. It is particularly useful for plotting sampled signals or data that has clear separation along the x-axis.

Currently, Plotly doesn't have a built-in function to replicate the stem plot, but users can manually create similar plots using go.Scatter and adding both lines and markers.

Proposal:
Introduce a native stem plot type that:

  • Draws vertical lines from the x-axis to each data point.
  • Places a marker on each data point.
  • Allows customization of marker and line styles (similar to MATLAB).

Why it’s useful:

  • It simplifies the creation of a common plot type in scientific and engineering fields.
  • It would improve ease of use for users transitioning from MATLAB/Octave.

Examples:
Below is an example of how users can manually create a stem plot using Plotly’s go.Scatter, but it would be nice if this kind of function could be called as go.Scatter, by passing some parameter to transform in stem plot, or if we could call a function from plotly:

import plotly.graph_objects as go

# Counter for creating unique legend groups if not passed
legendgroup_cnt = 0

# Function to create a stem plot in Plotly
# x: data for the x-axis
# y: data for the y-axis (x and y must have the same number of elements)
# fig: if passed, plots on the given figure, otherwise creates a new one
# marker_symbol: allows changing the marker style (see options at https://plotly.com/python/marker-style/)
# color: the color of the marker and lines
# legendgroup: allows creating a group of legends with the same name
def stem_plot(x, y, fig=[], name='plot', color="blue", marker_symbol='circle-open', legendgroup=[]):
    global legendgroup_cnt

    # If fig is empty, create a new figure
    if fig == []:
        fig = go.Figure()

    # If legendgroup is not provided, create a new legendgroup for each curve
    if legendgroup == []:
        legendgroup = legendgroup_cnt
        legendgroup_cnt += 1

    # Create a scatter trace for markers
    scatter_trace = go.Scatter(
        x=x, y=y, mode='markers',
        marker_symbol=marker_symbol,
        marker=dict(size=14, color=color),
        name=name, legendgroup=legendgroup
    )
    fig.add_trace(scatter_trace)

    # Create a line connecting markers to the x-axis
    for xi, yi in zip(x, y):
        line_trace = go.Scatter(
            x=[xi, xi], y=[0, yi], mode='lines',
            line=dict(color=scatter_trace.marker.color),
            name=name, showlegend=False, legendgroup=legendgroup
        )
        fig.add_trace(line_trace)

    return fig

# using the function
x = np.arange(0,10,1)
y = 2*x
fig = stem_plot(x, y, fig=[], name='mystem', color="blue", marker_symbol='circle-open', legendgroup=[])
fig.show()
