Plot attributes

Below is a list of some common plot attributes for Makie.

To view a plot's attributes and their values, you can call plot.attributes to view the raw output, or plot.attributes.attributes to get a Dict of the attribute keys and their values.

p = scatter(rand(10), rand(10))[end]; # use `[end]` to access the plot
p.attributes
p.attributes.attributes

Dict{Symbol,Observable} with 28 entries:
  :transparency   => Observable{Any} with 0 listeners. Value:…

List of attributes

Symbol	Description
`absorption`	Float32. Sets the absorption value for `volume` plots.
`algorithm`	Algorithm to be used for `volume` plots. Can be one of `:iso`, `:absorption`, `:mip`, `:absorptionrgba`, or `:indexedabsorption`.
`align`	`(:pos, :pos)`. Specify the text alignment, where `:pos` can be `:left`, `:center`, or `:right`.
`alpha`	Float in [0,1]. The alpha value (transparency).
`color`	Symbol or Colorant. The color of the main plot element (markers, lines, etc.). Can be a color symbol/string like :red, or a Colorant. Can also be an array or matrix of 'z-values' that are converted into colors by the colormap automatically.
`colormap`	The color map of the main plot. Call available_gradients() to see what gradients are available. Can also be used with any Vector{<: Colorant}, or e.g. [:red, :black], or `ColorSchemes.jl` colormaps (by `colormap = ColorSchemes.<colorscheme name>.colors`).
`colorrange`	A tuple `(min, max)` where `min` and `max` specify the data range to be used for indexing the colormap. E.g. color = [-2, 4] with colorrange = (-2, 4) will map to the lowest and highest color value of the colormap.
`fillrange`	Bool. Toggles range filling in `contour` plots.
`font`	String. Specifies the font, and can choose any font available on the system.
`glowcolor`	Color Type. Color of the marker glow (outside the border) in `scatter` plots.
`glowwidth`	Number. Width of the marker glow in `scatter` plots.
`image`	The image to be plotted on the plot.
`interpolate`	Bool. For `heatmap` and `images`. Toggles color interpolation between nearby pixels.
`isorange`	Float32. Sets the isorange for `volume` plots.
`isovalue`	Float32. Sets the isovalue for `volume` plots.
`levels`	Integer. Number of levels for a `contour`-type plot.
`linestyle`	Symbol. Style of the line (for `line` and `linesegments` plots). Available styles are `:dash`, `:dot`, `:dashdot`, and `:dashdotdot`. You can also supply an array describing the length of each gap/fill.
`linewidth`	Number. Width of the line in `line` and `linesegments` plots.
`marker`	Symbol, Shape, or AbstractVector.
`marker_offset`	Array of `GeometryTypes.Point`'s. Specifies the offset coordinates for the markers. See the Marker offset example.
`markersize`	Number or AbstractVector. Specifies size (radius pixels) of the markers.
`position`	NTuple{2,Float}, `(x, y)`. Specify the coordinates to position text at.
`rotation`	Float32. Specifies the rotation in radians.
`rotations`	AbstractVector{Float32}. Similar to `:rotation`, except it specifies the rotations for each element in the plot.
`shading`	Bool. Specifies if shading should be on or not (for meshes).
`strokecolor`	Color Type. Color of the marker stroke (border).
`strokewidth`	Number. Width of the marker stroke (in pixels).
`textsize`	Integer. Font pointsize for text.
`transformation`	`(:plane, location)`. Transforms the `:plane` to the specified location. Possible `:plane`'s are `:xy`, `:yz`, and `:xz`.
`visible`	Bool. Toggle visibility of plot.
