Allow on/off to accept multiple values

[talgalili]

Code:

library(plotly)
library(crosstalk)
D <- SharedData$new(iris, key = ~Species) 
scatter <- ggplot(data=D, aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width)) 
p <- scatter + geom_point(aes(color=Species, shape=Species)) +
  xlab("Sepal Length") +  ylab("Sepal Width") +
  ggtitle("Sepal Length-Width")
highlight(ggplotly(p), on = "plotly_selected",  off = 'plotly_deselect')

Step 1, I select the red group:

Step 2, I click somewhere else in the plot: (here is the BUG, it acts the same as off = 'plotly_doubleclick' )

Using double click releases the fading.

I'm not sure I understand, and I can't replicate step 2. Do you see any errors on the web console?

mmm,
I just realized the behavior is different for when I run the code from Rgui, and when I run it from RStudio.
With RStudio, 'plotly_deselect' works as 'plotly_doubleclick'. 'plotly_doubleclick' doesn't work. And "plotly_relayout" means that when I deselect, I am just left with everything greyed out.

Just FYI, doubleclick is tied to a doubleclick when in zoom mode

Information about RStudio and web console errors (if any) are going to be more helpful than session info for these sort of problems...gifs would also help

[cpsievert]

Oh...I think I might know what's happening...

Although you think you've clicked, I'm guessing you've clicked and dragged just a tiny bit (and thus, didn't select anything). Not sure if that should be considered user error or not...

[cpsievert]

I think the main problem here is that you are expecting both 'plotly_doubleclick' and 'plotly_deselect'to clear the selection. Chalking this up as reason for multiple values in on/off

[talgalili]

I gather from you that I was making an unreasonable expectation :) I wish to mark observations, and then that a single click would release them. Could this feature (please) be added? :)

BUMP

Hi Carson,
I see that you are getting closer to a CRAN release.
If this specific feature could be added (i.e.: " to mark observations, and then that a single click would release them."), this would be very helpful for my work.

Thanks,
Tal

I wish to mark observations, and then that a single click would release them.

This is a bad idea unless you define a target for the single-click. Let's move any future discussion to #1016
