Pie chart doesnt restyle marker.colors

[andrey-zakharov]

Simple test case:

var trace1 = {
  labels: [1, 2, 3, 4],
  values: [10, 15, 13, 17],
  type: 'pie',
};

var update = {
    'marker.colors': ['#200', '#400', '#600', '#800']
}

Plotly.newPlot(graphDiv, [trace1], {title: "test pie"});
Plotly.restyle(graphDiv, update);

doesn't update colors.

seems like marker.colors not included somewhere to replot flags.

Also it doesnt work for "pull" and "textposition" attr if they is as arrays.

You have to wrap all array attributes into another array in the restyle call.

The outer array in restyle maps to different traces.

This is a recurring issue for a lot of users. We're thinking about throwing errors when the restyle updates aren't formatted properly. You can following our discussion here: #167

I'd like to note that the initial marker.colors for colorscale is an empty array. This causes a problem in the workspace2 frontend where empty colorscales are being shifted into a components state. @chriddyp and I think what should happen is the actual colours that appear on the plot should be reflected in marker.colors
