The following code works to change the “min” of the color scale of a Plotly heatmap with a slider.
But it is very slow : we have a 1 fps movement when dragging the slider.
Solutions like replacing “heatmap” by “heatmapgl” don’t really solve the problem (it maybe improves to 2 fps).
How to have a more responsive / faster change of the color scale with a slider?
For many applications, it is crucial to be able to see in “realtime” (more than 10 fps), the result of a change in the color scale, and it is possible to do this with Matplotlib, etc.
How to get the same behaviour in Plotly JS?
var z = Array.from({length: 500}, () => Array.from({length: 1000}, () => Math.floor(Math.random() * 500)));
var steps = [], i;
for (i = 0; i < 500; i++)
steps.push({label: i, method: 'restyle', args: ['zmin', i]});
Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', [{z: z, colorscale: 'Jet', type: 'heatmap'}], {sliders: [{steps: steps}]});
