plotly function not generating desired plot, please help.

[Akash01]

Problem: All values of aesthetically mapped variable not displayed, I mapped the variable 'class' of mpg data set of ggplot2, but the plotly function is not displaying all of them.
Here is the code:

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)

# using mpg data set, already loaded as a part of ggplot2

fig<-plot_ly(mpg,x=~cty, y=~hwy, 
             color=~drv,
             frame = ~class,
             type="scatter",
             mode="markers")
fig

Below is the screenshot, following warning was shown:
Warning message: In p$x$data[firstFrame] <- p$x$frames[[1]]$data : number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length

The 'drv ' has three distinct values '4', 'f', 'r' , only r is being shown.

Depends on the tab

[Akash01]

See on the upper right side only r's legend is shown, plus pertaining to the screenshot you have posted, the particular tab is on class: minivan which has all three types of drv so there should be three colors of markers in the plot but there is only one.

Seems like this is a longstanding limitation of plotly in both Python and R :

Trace is lost with animation, not all ids exist in the legend

A framed chart showing all the data seems to be possible if not choosing to color by drv but appreciate that this makes for a less colorfull chart

You're right, it's messed. Works in ggplot()

Here's the breakdown. Only subcompact has all three

library(ggplot2)
table(mpg[c(7,11)])
#>    class
#> drv 2seater compact midsize minivan pickup subcompact suv
#>   4       0      12       3       0     33          4  51
#>   f       0      35      38      11      0         22   0
#>   r       5       0       0       0      0          9  11
