R planning version 4.5.2 legend bubble size settings

Question

I use plotly 4.5.2 in R. I created a scatter chart that has a variable size, the problem is that these sizes are also reflected in the legend, which makes them difficult to read.

I want my chart to stay the same, the only exception is the size of the bubbles in the legend. These bubbles can be either the same or enlarged to a smaller size. It is important to note that the dimensions on the graph should remain unchanged.

Here you can find reproducible code:

library(plotly)

data <- data.frame(name = c('test1', 'test2', 'test3', 'test4'),
                      x = c(1, 15, 90, 45),
                      y = c(9, 43, 43, 53),
                      size = c(10000, 50000, 90000, 3000),
                      colour = c("rgba(230, 42, 56, 0.3)", "rgba(76, 175, 80, 0.3)",
                                 "rgba(32, 169, 242, 0.3)", "rgba(255, 193, 7, 0.3)")
                      )

plot <- plot_ly(data = data) %>% 
  add_trace(x = ~x,
            y = ~y,
            mode = 'markers',
            type = 'scatter',
            color = ~name,
            marker = list(
              color = ~colour,               
              opacity = 1,
              showlegend=T),
            size = ~size)

thanks

You can use the functions ggplotand ggplotly():

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(data, aes(x=x, y=y, size=size, color=name)) + 
           geom_point() + 
           theme_minimal() + 
           theme(legend.title=element_blank())
ggplotly(p)

But there is the same problem with plotly_4.5.2and functions of the legend. Both ways to remove size from a legend work in ggplot2_2.1.0, but not in build mode using the transform function ggplotly().

p <- p + guides(size=FALSE)
p <- p + scale_size_continuous(guide=FALSE)
ggplotly(p)
