But subplots, insets, shared axes work. **Hurdles:** free axes with custom 'position' would need an option to make a gap between the data-box and the axis in gl-plot2d, overlaying axes would need more logic around when to show grid lines, scene backgroud color and have hover events propagate down. :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] data-reference annotations/shapes are not available (paper-reference annotations/shapes work)\r\n- [x] fill options `tonexty`, `tonexty`, and `toself` are not avaliable (`tozerox` and `tozeroy` work) :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] the `marker.symbol` is pretty good since `v1.28.0` but not on-par with svg :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [ ] px-specified `line.dash` are not available\r\n- [x] no `line.shape: 'spline'`  **update:** `'hv', 'vh', 'hvh', 'vhv'` added in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3087\r\n- [x] axis titles are not centered (positioning algo does not consider text width)\r\n- [x] tick marks don't support `\\n` (most common in date axes)\r\n- [x] axes don't support decreasing (custom or with `autorange: 'reversed'`) ranges. :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] hovermode `x` and `y` are not available (toggling hover on/off in modebar works). :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] no support for axis `fixedrange` (would need to tweak gl-select-box). :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] double click and shift click interactions are not supported. :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] cartesian + gl2d subplot on the same graph are not supported. :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] `plotly_hover`, `plotly_unhover` and `plotly_click` are not emitted  [done in #994]\r\n- [x] setting `hoverinfo` to `'none'` should disable the hover spikes. :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n- [x] a hover spikes sometimes appears prematurely after initial `Plotly.plot`  call\r\n- [x] select box and lasso selections are not supported\r\n- [x] single-axis zoom/pan and corner zoom interactions are not supported\r\n- [x] zoom-box doesn't follow cursor outside the plot bounds (i.e. no cover slip). :white_check_mark: Fixed with regl.\r\n  \r\n  ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/etpinard","@type":"Person","name":"etpinard"},"datePublished":"2015-12-17T14:54:05.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":13},"url":"https://github.com/130/plotly.js/issues/130"}
