Solution 1
You can use style
to add the ticks:
p <- plot_ly(data = df, x = x, y = y, type = 'line') %>%
layout(title = 'Example plot', xaxis = list(autotick = F, dtick = 6))
p
Here are some more examples: https://plot.ly/r/axes/
Solution 2
If you need uneven spacing you can use tickvals, it requires tickmode = "array" as below
%>%
layout(xaxis = list(autotick = F, tickmode = "array", tickvals = c(6,12,24)))

I want to have control over which tick marks appear on the x-axis. The following code places tick marks in a sequence of 5 (at 5, 10, 15 ... 30)
library(plotly) df <- data.frame(x = 1:30, y = sample(100:300, size = 30, replace = T)) p <- plot_ly(data = df, x = x, y = y, type = 'line') %>% layout(title = 'Example plot') p
I need to place them in a sequence of 6 at 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. I've been browsing the documentation but I cannot seem to find what I need. In
ggplot2
this can be done viascale_x_continuous(breaks=c(6,12,18,24,30)

Angelo about 2 yearsI don't think your answer shows an example that answer precisely the question answered. I also have the same question and I can't figure out (unfortunately) from your answer how to customize the x axis.
