Ability to hide trace name in legend

[meganrm]

I am plotting more than one trace (scatterplot plus histograms) and with a groupby transform for the scatter plot, and there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of the name of the plot in parenthesis after the name of the group. Even if I set the name to an empty string it shows the empty parentheses.

I think in the case of a groupby legend, the repeated name of the plot is more annoying than informative. It seems like a includeplotname defaulting to true setting on the legend would really helpful.

I think what you want is nameformat - which already defaults to the behavior you want when the grouped trace is the only one, but since you have other traces for the 1D histograms it defaults to including the trace name as well. nameformat: '%{group}' should fix it for you. I suppose we could be smarter and only default to the multi-trace format when there are multiple traces in the legend... but that's a little trickier to determine.
