I am not getting click event on click of category label (xticks) of bar chart. I am using 'plotly_click'.
Below is the code

HTML -

<head>
  <!-- Plotly.js -->
  <script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
  
  <div id="myDiv" style="width: 480px; height: 400px;"><!-- Plotly chart will be drawn inside this DIV --></div>
  <script>
    <!-- JAVASCRIPT CODE GOES HERE -->
  </script>
</body>

Javascript -

var trace1 = {
  x: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'], 
  y: [20, 14, 23], 
  name: 'SF Zoo', 
  type: 'bar'
};

var trace2 = {
  x: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'], 
  y: [12, 18, 29], 
  name: 'LA Zoo', 
  type: 'bar'
};

var data = [trace1, trace2];

var layout = {barmode: 'group'};

Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data, layout);
var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
myDiv.on('plotly_click', function(data){
    alert('chart clicked');
});

I am able to get click event on actual bars but I am looking for click event on category label under bar.
In below image I am looking for click event on 'giraffes'. Thanks for the help in advance.

That's the desired behavior. plotly_ are only triggered within the plot area (i.e. inside the axes).

Thanks @etpinard for quick response. Is there any other event triggered on click of the labels?

Not at the moment. See #145 for more event proposals.

In any case, this is a duplicate of #65; closing this ticket.
