The following link - https://plot.ly/r/box-plots/#basic-boxplot - leads to the main tutorial that plotly offers for boxplots in R, and the specific plot type that I am interested in working with is the following:
p <- plot_ly(y = ~rnorm(50), type = "box", boxpoints = "all", jitter = 0.3,
pointpos = -1.8)
In particular, I would like to play around with the hovertext on these plots, so that I am able to hover over each point individually. For anybody familiar with plotly, is this possible with the boxplot type in plotly R, or would I be forced to use the scatter type?
My plot is going to have ~10-12 different boxplots on it, which would make doing this plot with scatter plots quite difficult. In particular, I like how easy it is to add additional boxplots to this plot, and how the colors update automatically when new plots are added.
In particular, here's a rough example (albeit with fewer boxplots) of what I'm trying to make:
