Adding a unit to y axis labels in plotly.js

Question

I'd like to add a unit to the y-axis tick labels in plotly.js. How might I do this? Adding a ticktext and tickval property for yaxis layout doesn't seem to have the effect I thought, as it does with an xaxis.

Have you checked the tickmode of the yaxis ? the ticktext property should exist according to: plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-yaxis-ticktext – Ursi

Got it! Just needed ticksuffix – Vitale

Answer 1

As per your own comment, and per here

ticksuffix(string)

You can add this as part of the x or y axis option as part of the layout text for your plot.

e.g.

var layout = {
    yaxis:
    {
        ticksuffix: "suffix"
    }
};
