[discussion] combining with Plotly&PlotlyJS #61
Description
Activity
Hi there!
Many folks are very concerned about data privacy and would be very concerned if the code that does the plotting and the code that does the uploading to the cloud were in the same package, so we keep them separate :)
Thanks @nicolaskruchten -- that's right!
The Plotly.jl package (this one!) imports and reexports everything from PlotlyJS and then adds just the
postfunctionality to interact with the chart studio servers.There are no additional plot creating methods here -- all of that lives in PlotlyJS
Now it is getting clear for me, thanks a lot for the clarification. Could it be added to the documentation?
From the outside, it looked to me that PlotlyJS is the newer version of Plotly and the latter is getting unmaintained (build:error)Also, concerning the documentation of the Plotly.jl. I did not get what the
end_pointis good for.
I did not need it to post a plot (sorry for the ignorance). A sentence of the use case in the doc would helpOne more edition to README.md.
I just figured out how to post Plots.jl plot:using Plots import Plotly: post, signin # plotlyjs() p = plot(rand(10)) plt_o = Plots.plotlyjs_syncplot(p) # that is what I was looking for signin("...","...") remote_plot = post(plt_o)
If you post it somewhere, you save someone a lot of time
Just created #63 . It would close this issue
Thank you so much for the package. I just posted my plotly figure online, finally, after several days of struggling.
The
posting functionality was very hard to find since I started from plotlyjs.Is there a reason to keep the package separate from plotlyjs?
Interestingly the plotting script that I wrote with
using PlotlyJSjust worked once I replaced the inputusing Plotly
