Violin attributes/values missing from plot-schema.json

[hmf]

Posted a related question in here but I think it may be an error because I found another issue. Hence this report here. Describing two missing elements.

Background: I am using the schema to auto-generate Scala code to read and generate the Plotly JSON documents. I have started with the Violin trace examples for preliminary tests. I have found that:

• The attribute: points: 'none' does not exist in the schema. The schema points is an enumerated that only has the following values:
  • “all”
  • “outliers”
  • “suspectedoutliers”
  • false
• The element "boxpoints": false does not appear in the Violin trace. The only place I find this is in the box trace.

So am I correct in assuming that these are missing from the schema? Can I use this schema to generate the intended code?

You can use the schema to generate code, this is what we do in Plotly.py. It's normal that boxpoints isn't available in violin and I don't believe that 'none' is an accepted value for violin.points, indeed.

I suspect the documentation is wrong rather than the schema ;)

Ok, I will assume these are schema errors then. Thanks.

(You mean documentation errors, right? The schema is automatically derived from the internal data structures used by Plotly.js, so it's very unlikely that the schema is wrong :)

Oops. I confess I am Plotly illiterate. Ok then I have opened a new issue for a a documentation error. Thanks for the explanation.
