It would be great if the docs (both Plotly.js and Plotly.py) contained a list of all the graph properties which can be edited when editable is set to True in the graph config.

The JS docs mention editable mode but don't contain a list of properties.

I can't find a mention of editable mode at all in the Plotly.py docs.

This community post provides a partial list

Here is the list I've compiled, based on the above linked commuminty post and with help from @archmoj :

  • Chart title (click to edit)
  • Axis titles (click to edit)
  • Axis ranges (min and max) (click endpoints to edit)
  • Shape position (drag edges to resize, drag center to move)
  • Shape polygon vertices (drag to move)
    • (note: only editable when editable: true is set for the individual shape and editable: false for the chart as a whole)
  • Shape addition and removal (use modebar buttons)
  • Annotation text (click to edit)
  • Annotation position (drag text or arrowhead to move)
  • Legend trace names (click to edit)
  • Legend position (drag to move)
  • Colorbar title (click to edit)
  • Colorbar position (drag to move)
