Incorrect z-ordering with geom_errorbarh #513
Description
I've encountered a problem where layers appear in the wrong order when using geom_errorbarh to plot error bars. Consider the following example:
library(plotly)
df <- data.frame(x=1:5, y=1:5, left=0:4, right=2:6, label=letters[1:5],
group=factor(c('one', 'one', 'two', 'two', 'one')))
fig1 <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y, text=label, colour=group)) +
geom_rect(fill='lightgrey', colour='lightgrey', xmin=3, xmax=4, ymin=-4, ymax=7) +
geom_errorbarh(aes(xmin=left, xmax=right)) + geom_point() +
theme_bw()
fig1 ## works as expected
ggplotly(fig1) ## The grey rectangle is plotted above the error bars instead of below themA workaround is to use geom_segment instead
fig2 <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y, text=label, colour=group)) +
geom_rect(fill='lightgrey', colour='lightgrey', xmin=3, xmax=4, ymin=-4, ymax=7) +
geom_segment(aes(x=left, xend=right, yend=y)) + geom_point() +
theme_bw()
ggplotly(fig2) ## worksHere is the output from devtools::session_info()

Unfortunately this still doesn't work for me with the current version (3.4.9). I'm now not getting any error bars (using the above example):
ggplotly(fig1)Updated
devtools::session_info()Use transparent scatter lines for errorbars. Fixes #513.

Thanks for reporting, this will be fixed soon.
PS. unfortunately, given plotly.js' current infrastructure for error bars, I don't think it is possible to faithfully convert ggplot2's GeomErrorbar and guarantee a sensible legend. But, you can layer points before the bars to get a sensible legend.

Thanks for taking care of this so promptly.
