Cone
Overview
The cone
trace type is used to create 3D cone plots, which are useful for visualizing vector fields or directional data in three-dimensional space. Each cone represents a vector, with its position, size, and orientation conveying information about the vector's magnitude and direction.
Cone plots are particularly useful in scientific and engineering applications, such as fluid dynamics, electromagnetic field visualization, or wind direction and speed mapping.
Common Uses
- Vector Field Visualization: Displaying 3D vector fields in physics or engineering.
- Wind Data Representation: Showing wind direction and speed in meteorology.
- Fluid Flow Analysis: Visualizing fluid dynamics in simulations or experiments.

- Sets the cones' anchor with respect to their x/y/z positions. Note that cm denote the cone's center of mass which corresponds to 1/4 from the tail to tip.
- Determines whether the colorscale is a default palette (
autocolorscale: true
) or the palette determined bycolorscale
. In casecolorscale
is unspecified orautocolorscale
is true, the default palette will be chosen according to whether numbers in thecolor
array are all positive, all negative or mixed. - Determines whether or not the color domain is computed with respect to the input data (here u/v/w norm) or the bounds set in
cmin
andcmax
Defaults tofalse
whencmin
andcmax
are set by the user. - Sets the upper bound of the color domain. Value should have the same units as u/v/w norm and if set,
cmin
must be set as well. - Sets the mid-point of the color domain by scaling
cmin
and/orcmax
to be equidistant to this point. Value should have the same units as u/v/w norm. Has no effect whencauto
isfalse
. - Sets the lower bound of the color domain. Value should have the same units as u/v/w norm and if set,
cmax
must be set as well. - Sets a reference to a shared color axis. References to these shared color axes are coloraxis, coloraxis2, coloraxis3, etc. Settings for these shared color axes are set in the layout, under
layout.coloraxis
,layout.coloraxis2
, etc. Note that multiple color scales can be linked to the same color axis. - Sets the color of padded area.
- Sets the axis line color.
- Sets the width (in px) or the border enclosing this color bar.
- Determines a formatting rule for the tick exponents. For example, consider the number 1,000,000,000. If none, it appears as 1,000,000,000. If e, 1e+9. If E, 1E+9. If power, 1x10^9 (with 9 in a super script). If SI, 1G. If B, 1B.
- Sets the length of the color bar This measure excludes the padding of both ends. That is, the color bar length is this length minus the padding on both ends.
- Determines whether this color bar's length (i.e. the measure in the color variation direction) is set in units of plot fraction or in *pixels. Use
len
to set the value. - Hide SI prefix for 10^n if |n| is below this number. This only has an effect when
tickformat
is SI or B. - Specifies the maximum number of ticks for the particular axis. The actual number of ticks will be chosen automatically to be less than or equal to
nticks
. Has an effect only iftickmode
is set to auto. - Sets the orientation of the colorbar.
- Sets the axis line color.
- Sets the width (in px) of the axis line.
- If "true", even 4-digit integers are separated
- If all, all exponents are shown besides their significands. If first, only the exponent of the first tick is shown. If last, only the exponent of the last tick is shown. If none, no exponents appear.
- Determines whether or not the tick labels are drawn.
- If all, all tick labels are displayed with a prefix. If first, only the first tick is displayed with a prefix. If last, only the last tick is displayed with a suffix. If none, tick prefixes are hidden.
- Same as
showtickprefix
but for tick suffixes. - Sets the thickness of the color bar This measure excludes the size of the padding, ticks and labels.
- Determines whether this color bar's thickness (i.e. the measure in the constant color direction) is set in units of plot fraction or in pixels. Use
thickness
to set the value. - Sets the angle of the tick labels with respect to the horizontal. For example, a
tickangle
of -90 draws the tick labels vertically. - Sets the tick color.
- HTML font family - the typeface that will be applied by the web browser. The web browser can only apply a font if it is available on the system where it runs. Provide multiple font families, separated by commas, to indicate the order in which to apply fonts if they aren't available.
- Sets the kind of decoration line(s) with text, such as an under, over or through as well as combinations e.g. under+over, etc.
- Sets the shape and color of the shadow behind text. auto places minimal shadow and applies contrast text font color. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-shadow for additional options.
- Sets whether a font should be styled with a normal or italic face from its family.
- Sets capitalization of text. It can be used to make text appear in all-uppercase or all-lowercase, or with each word capitalized.
- Sets the variant of the font.
- Sets the weight (or boldness) of the font.
- Sets the tick label formatting rule using d3 formatting mini-languages which are very similar to those in Python. For numbers, see: https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format. And for dates see: https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format. We add two items to d3's date formatter: %h for half of the year as a decimal number as well as %{n}f for fractional seconds with n digits. For example, 2016-10-13 09:15:23.456 with tickformat %H~%M~%S.%2f would display 09~15~23.46
- Determines how we handle tick labels that would overflow either the graph div or the domain of the axis. The default value for inside tick labels is hide past domain. In other cases the default is hide past div.
- Determines where tick labels are drawn relative to the ticks. Left and right options are used when
orientation
is h, top and bottom whenorientation
is v. - Sets the spacing between tick labels as compared to the spacing between ticks. A value of 1 (default) means each tick gets a label. A value of 2 means shows every 2nd label. A larger value n means only every nth tick is labeled.
tick0
determines which labels are shown. Not implemented for axes withtype
log or multicategory, or whentickmode
is array. - Sets the tick length (in px).
- Sets the tick mode for this axis. If auto, the number of ticks is set via
nticks
. If linear, the placement of the ticks is determined by a starting positiontick0
and a tick stepdtick
(linear is the default value iftick0
anddtick
are provided). If array, the placement of the ticks is set viatickvals
and the tick text isticktext
. (array is the default value iftickvals
is provided). - Sets a tick label prefix.
- Determines whether ticks are drawn or not. If , this axis' ticks are not drawn. If outside (inside), this axis' are drawn outside (inside) the axis lines.
- Sets a tick label suffix.
- Sets the text displayed at the ticks position via
tickvals
. Only has an effect iftickmode
is set to array. Used withtickvals
. - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for
ticktext
. - Sets the values at which ticks on this axis appear. Only has an effect if
tickmode
is set to array. Used withticktext
. - Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for
tickvals
. - Sets the tick width (in px).
- HTML font family - the typeface that will be applied by the web browser. The web browser can only apply a font if it is available on the system where it runs. Provide multiple font families, separated by commas, to indicate the order in which to apply fonts if they aren't available.
- Sets the kind of decoration line(s) with text, such as an under, over or through as well as combinations e.g. under+over, etc.

- Sets capitalization of text. It can be used to make text appear in all-uppercase or all-lowercase, or with each word capitalized.
- Sets the variant of the font.
- Sets the weight (or boldness) of the font.
- Determines the location of color bar's title with respect to the color bar. Defaults to top when
orientation
if v and defaults to right whenorientation
if h. - Sets the title of the color bar.
- Sets the x position with respect to
xref
of the color bar (in plot fraction). Whenxref
is paper, defaults to 1.02 whenorientation
is v and 0.5 whenorientation
is h. Whenxref
is container, defaults to 1 whenorientation
is v and 0.5 whenorientation
is h. Must be between 0 and 1 ifxref
is container and between -2 and 3 ifxref
is paper. - Sets this color bar's horizontal position anchor. This anchor binds the
x
position to the left, center or right of the color bar. Defaults to left whenorientation
is v and center whenorientation
is h. - Sets the amount of padding (in px) along the x direction.
- Sets the container
x
refers to. container spans the entirewidth
of the plot. paper refers to the width of the plotting area only. - Sets the y position with respect to
yref
of the color bar (in plot fraction). Whenyref
is paper, defaults to 0.5 whenorientation
is v and 1.02 whenorientation
is h. Whenyref
is container, defaults to 0.5 whenorientation
is v and 1 whenorientation
is h. Must be between 0 and 1 ifyref
is container and between -2 and 3 ifyref
is paper. - Sets this color bar's vertical position anchor This anchor binds the
y
position to the top, middle or bottom of the color bar. Defaults to middle whenorientation
is v and bottom whenorientation
is h. - Sets the amount of padding (in px) along the y direction.
- Sets the container
y
refers to. container spans the entireheight
of the plot. paper refers to the height of the plotting area only. - Sets the colorscale. The colorscale must be an array containing arrays mapping a normalized value to an rgb, rgba, hex, hsl, hsv, or named color string. At minimum, a mapping for the lowest (0) and highest (1) values are required. For example,
[[0, 'rgb(0,0,255)'], [1, 'rgb(255,0,0)']]
. To control the bounds of the colorscale in color space, usecmin
andcmax
. Alternatively,colorscale
may be a palette name string of the following list: Blackbody,Bluered,Blues,Cividis,Earth,Electric,Greens,Greys,Hot,Jet,Picnic,Portland,Rainbow,RdBu,Reds,Viridis,YlGnBu,YlOrRd. - Assigns extra data each datum. This may be useful when listening to hover, click and selection events. Note that, scatter traces also appends customdata items in the markers DOM elements
- Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for
customdata
. - Determines which trace information appear on hover. If
none
orskip
are set, no information is displayed upon hovering. But, ifnone

. - Template string used for rendering the information that appear on hover box. Note that this will override
hoverinfo
. Variables are inserted using %{variable}, for example "y: %{y}" as well as %{xother}, {%xother}, {%_xother}, {%xother_}. When showing info for several points, xother will be added to those with different x positions from the first point. An underscore before or after (x|y)other will add a space on that side, only when this field is shown. Numbers are formatted using d3-format's syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example "Price: %{y:$.2f}". https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are formatted using d3-time-format's syntax %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day: %{2019-01-01|%A}". https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format for details on the date formatting syntax.

layout.legend
,layout.legend2
, etc. - Sets the legend group for this trace. Traces and shapes part of the same legend group hide/show at the same time when toggling legend items.
- HTML font family - the typeface that will be applied by the web browser. The web browser can only apply a font if it is available on the system where it runs. Provide multiple font families, separated by commas, to indicate the order in which to apply fonts if they aren't available.
- Sets the kind of decoration line(s) with text, such as an under, over or through as well as combinations e.g. under+over, etc.
- Sets the shape and color of the shadow behind text. auto places minimal shadow and applies contrast text font color. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/text-shadow for additional options.
- Sets whether a font should be styled with a normal or italic face from its family.

- Sets the variant of the font.
- Sets the weight (or boldness) of the font.
- Sets the title of the legend group.
- Sets the legend rank for this trace. Items and groups with smaller ranks are presented on top/left side while with reversed
legend.traceorder
they are on bottom/right side. The default legendrank is 1000, so that you can use ranks less than 1000 to place certain items before all unranked items, and ranks greater than 1000 to go after all unranked items. When having unranked or equal rank items shapes would be displayed after traces i.e. according to their order in data and layout. - Sets the width (in px or fraction) of the legend for this trace.
- Ambient light increases overall color visibility but can wash out the image.
- Represents the extent that incident rays are reflected in a range of angles.
- Epsilon for face normals calculation avoids math issues arising from degenerate geometry.
- Represents the reflectance as a dependency of the viewing angle; e.g. paper is reflective when viewing it from the edge of the paper (almost 90 degrees), causing shine.
- Alters specular reflection; the rougher the surface, the wider and less contrasty the shine.
- Represents the level that incident rays are reflected in a single direction, causing shine.
- Epsilon for vertex normals calculation avoids math issues arising from degenerate geometry.
- Numeric vector, representing the X coordinate for each vertex.
- Numeric vector, representing the Y coordinate for each vertex.
- Numeric vector, representing the Z coordinate for each vertex.
- Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for
meta
. - Sets the trace name. The trace name appears as the legend item and on hover.
- Sets the opacity of the surface. Please note that in the case of using high
opacity
values for example a value greater than or equal to 0.5 on two surfaces (and 0.25 with four surfaces), an overlay of multiple transparent surfaces may not perfectly be sorted in depth by the webgl API. This behavior may be improved in the near future and is subject to change. - Reverses the color mapping if true. If true,
cmin
will correspond to the last color in the array andcmax
will correspond to the first color. - Sets a reference between this trace's 3D coordinate system and a 3D scene. If scene (the default value), the (x,y,z) coordinates refer to
layout.scene
. If scene2, the (x,y,z) coordinates refer tolayout.scene2
, and so on. - Determines whether or not an item corresponding to this trace is shown in the legend.
- Determines whether or not a colorbar is displayed for this trace.
- Determines whether
sizeref
is set as a scaled (i.e unitless) scalar (normalized by the max u/v/w norm in the vector field) or as absolute value (in the same units as the vector field). To display sizes in actual vector length use raw. - Adjusts the cone size scaling. The size of the cones is determined by their u/v/w norm multiplied a factor and
sizeref
. This factor (computed internally) corresponds to the minimum "time" to travel across two successive x/y/z positions at the average velocity of those two successive positions. All cones in a given trace use the same factor. Withsizemode
set to raw, its default value is 1. Withsizemode
set to scaled,sizeref
is unitless, its default value is 0.5. Withsizemode
set to absolute,sizeref
has the same units as the u/v/w vector field, its the default value is half the sample's maximum vector norm. - Sets the maximum number of points to keep on the plots from an incoming stream. If
