ggplotly does not support negative values

[mubashirqasim]

Hi there,

I have just found that ggplotly take absolution of values before plotting. In other words it seems it does not support negative values.

p <- ggplot(dft, aes(x=id, y=value, fill=value)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") +
geom_abline(intercept = x, slope = 0, color = "blue", size = .3) +
geom_text(aes(15,x,label = "Avg. value", vjust = -1))

plot(p)
ggplotly(p)

I believe I found the same thing. I have a histogram with different values below and above the horizontal axis. This plots correctly without plotly, with one histogram downward from the horizontal axis and one above it, but with ggplotly it overlays the two histograms on top of each other, both above the axis.

I don't know if it's helpful in determining cause, but the bars also appear to be stacked instead of overlayed.

set.seed(15)
dd<-data.frame(x=rnorm(100,5,2))
set.seed(5)
dd2<-data.frame(x=rnorm(100,5,2))
p3 <- ggplot() + geom_histogram(data=dd,aes(x=x,y=..count..)) + geom_histogram(data=dd2,aes(x=x,y=-..count..),color='green')
p3
ggplotly(p3)

I, too, have this issue. I think it is a duplicate of #560

Is this not closed because the fix hasn't worked properly? Still getting errors in plotly_4.7.1

This seems to be fixed now
