在 R 中对齐 Plotly 轴文本

Question

I would like to left align the y-axis text in the following plot:

fig <- plot_ly(
  y = c("giraffes", " orange orangutans", "pigs"),
  x = c(20, 14, 23),
  name = "SF Zoo",
  type = "bar", 
  orientation = 'h'
)
fig

When the text is uneven in length, I would prefer to have the text aligned to the left.

If possible, I would like a reference provided for what I can pass into the list for yaxis, too. Thank you!

Answer 1

from what I found here is no possibility to left align y-axis labels ( https://community.plotly.com/t/left-align-category-labels-on-y-axis/3044 )

a work arround would be to put the labels inside the bars or outside of them at the right side:

library(plotly)

fig %>% 
  plotly::layout(yaxis= list(showticklabels = FALSE)) %>% 
  plotly::style(text = c("giraffes", " orange orangutans", "pigs"), textposition = "auto", insidetextanchor="start")

You can find the reference for yaxis here: https://plotly.com/r/reference/layout/yaxis/
