PlotlyJS

Welcome to the documentation for PlotlyJS.jl, a Julia interface to the [plotly.js][_plotlyjs] visualization library.

This package does not interact with the Plotly web API, but rather leverages the underlying javascript library to construct plotly graphics using all local resources. This means you do not need a Plotly account or an internet connection to use this package.

The goals of PlotlyJS.jl are:

1. Make it convenient to construct and manipulate plotly visualizations
2. Provide infrastructure for viewing plots on multiple frontends and saving

plotly graphics to files

Installation

To install PlotlyJS.jl, open up a Julia REPL, press ] to enter package mode and type:

(v1.0) pkg> add PlotlyJS

For existing users you can run up from the package manager REPL mode to get the latest release. If after doing this plots do not show up in your chosen frontend, please run build PlotlyJS (again from pkg REPL mode) to tell Julia to download the latest release of the plotly.js javascript library.

Saving figures

PlotlyJS.jl comes with built-in support for saving figures to files via the integration between PlotlyBase.jl (a dependency of PlotlyJS.jl) and Plotly's kaleido tool.

See exporting figures for more information.

Plots.jl

If you would like to have a more exhaustive set of top-level functions for constructing plots, see the Plots.jl package. This package is the plotlyjs Plots.jl backend and is fully supported by Plots.
