Support smooth animations in Scatter3D?

[mjlbach]

I'm not sure if this is implemented upstream in the javascript library yet, but currently Scatter graph objects show smooth transitions between frames, whereas Scatter3D show abrupt transitions. I was looking to replace ipyvolume for some animations, and this is one current disadvantage.

@mjlbach
Why was this closed? Is this working?
Could you perhaps provide a link to a solution, please? (or maybe provide an example, that would be awesome!)

[mjlbach]

@TKaluza It's not fixed or working, but there are better libraries for this particular purpose (vispy, ipyvolume). I've reopened the issue, but this isn't something I would implement, and I usually don't like leaving open issues I wouldn't be open to fixing.

@mjlbach I totaly agree with use on this issue. Thank you for clarification
As far as I'm concerend this can be closed.

This is indeed something that would need to be addressed in the underlying Javascript library, you can follow our progress here: plotly/plotly.js#3456
