Description
Plotly.js translation of plotly/plotly.py#1139 reported by @jdieg0
generating a Scatter plot with a logarithmic y axis and given error_y works fine whereas creating a similar plot with Scatter3d with error bars results in extremely large error bars. The proportions of the error bars in the 3D plot are correct if type='log' is omitted.

In scatter
the error bars work as expected.
// ## Constants
var x = [0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9.]
var y = x.map(function() {return 0})
var z = [1.e+00, 1.e+01, 1.e+02, 1.e+03, 1.e+04,
1.e+05, 1.e+06, 1.e+07, 1.e+08, 1.e+09]
var error_z = [3.e-01, 3.e+00, 3.e+01, 3.e+02, 3.e+03,
3.e+04, 3.e+05, 3.e+06, 3.e+07, 3.e+08]
// ## Scatter 2D
var scatter = {
'type': 'scatter',
'error_y': {'array': error_z,
'type': 'data',
'visible': true
},
'x': x,
'y': z
}
var layout = {'yaxis': {'type': 'log', 'title': 'z'},
'xaxis': {'title': 'x'},
'width': 800,
'height': 800};
var data = [ scatter ];
// ## Plot scatter 2D
Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data, layout);
In scatter3d
the errors bars grow very large
var scatter3d = {
'type': 'scatter3d',
'error_z': {'array': error_z,
'type': 'data',
'visible': true
},
'x': x,
'y': y,
'z': z
}
var data3d = [ scatter3d ];
var layout3d = {'scene': {'zaxis': {'type': 'log'}},
'width': 800,
'height': 800};
// ## Plot scatter 3D
Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data3d, layout3d);
Perhaps error_z.type='data'
is not implemented?
