Filtering transform Category + Range

[bpostlethwaite]

@etpinard think I found another one for ya :)

var INCLUSIVE = '[]';
var EXCLUSIVE = '][';

var trace1 = {
  x: [1, 2, 3],
  y: [10, 20, 30],
  mode: 'markers',
  transforms: [{
    type: 'filter',
    operation: INCLUSIVE,
    target: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
    value: ['a', 'b']
  }]
};

var trace2 = {
  x: [1, 2, 3],
  y: [30, 20, 10],
  mode: 'markers',
  transforms: [{
    type: 'filter',
    operation: EXCLUSIVE,
    target: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
    value: ['a', 'b']
  }]
};


var data = [trace1, trace2];

var layout = {
  title:'Filtering category data',
  height: 400,
  width: 480
};

Plotly.newPlot($('.js-plotly-plot')[0], data, layout);

gives

I don't think there's a bug here.

trace 0 gets filtered to

x: [1, 2],
y: [10, 20],
transforms[0].target = ['a', 'b']

and all points of trace 1 pass the ][ filter condition. From the description,

*][* keeps items outside value[0] to value[1] and equal to both bounds

In detail,

• 'a' is equal to value[0] (which passes the filter ] part)
• 'b' is equal to value[1] (which passes the filter [ part)
• 'c' is outside the interval

So @bpostlethwaite , in terms of inclusive / exclusive, I think you're looking for

var INCLUSIVE = '[]';
var EXCLUSIVE = ')(';  // which does not include the bounds

ahhhh, right. Thanks for looking into it!
