Forked version of plotly.js with some hacks for use in Newcrom's products
Plotly.js is a standalone Javascript data visualization library, and it also powers the Python and R modules named plotly in those respective ecosystems (referred to as Plotly.py and Plotly.R).
Plotly.js can be used to produce dozens of chart types and visualizations, including statistical charts, 3D graphs, scientific charts, SVG and tile maps, financial charts and more.

Install a ready-to-use distributed bundle
npm i --save plotly.js-dist-minand use import or require in node.js
// ES6 module
import Plotly from 'plotly.js-dist-min'
// CommonJS
var Plotly = require('plotly.js-dist-min')You may also consider using plotly.js-dist if you prefer using an unminified package.
In the examples below
Plotlyobject is added to the window scope byscript. ThenewPlotmethod is then used to draw an interactive figure as described bydataandlayoutinto the desireddivhere namedgd. As demonstrated in the example above basic knowledge ofhtmland JSON syntax is enough to get started i.e. with/without JavaScript! To learn and build more with plotly.js please visit plotly.js documentation.
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-2.27.1.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="gd"></div>
<script>
Plotly.newPlot("gd", /* JSON object */ {
"data": [{ "y": [1, 2, 3] }],
"layout": { "width": 600, "height": 400}
})
</script>
</body>Alternatively you may consider using native ES6 import in the script tag.
<script type="module">
import "https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-2.27.1.min.js"
Plotly.newPlot("gd", [{ y: [1, 2, 3] }])
</script>Fastly supports Plotly.js with free CDN service. Read more at https://www.fastly.com/open-source.
While non-minified source files may contain characters outside UTF-8, it is recommended that you specify the charset when loading those bundles.
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-2.27.1.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Please note that as of v2 the "plotly-latest" outputs (e.g. https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js) will no longer be updated on the CDN, and will stay at the last v1 patch v1.58.5. Therefore, to use the CDN with plotly.js v2 and higher, you must specify an exact plotly.js version.
You could load either version two or version three of MathJax files, for example:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.5/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_SVG.js"></script><script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3.2.2/es5/tex-svg.js"></script>When using MathJax version 3, it is also possible to use
chtmloutput on the other parts of the page in addition tosvgoutput for the plotly graph. Please refer todevtools/test_dashboard/index-mathjax3chtml.htmlto see an example.
There are two kinds of plotly.js bundles:
- Complete and partial official bundles that are distributed to
npmand theCDN, described in the dist README. - Custom bundles you can create yourself to optimize the size of bundle depending on your needs. Please visit CUSTOM_BUNDLE for more information.
If your library needs to bundle or directly load plotly.js/lib/index.js or parts of its modules similar to index-basic in some other way than via an official or a custom bundle, or in case you want to tweak the default build configurations, then please visit BUILDING.md.
