Plotly.jl

A Julia interface to the plot.ly plotting library and cloud services

Simply run Pkg.add("Plotly").

Plotting functions provided by this package are identical to PlotlyJS. Please consult its documentation. In fact, the package depends on PlotlyJS.jl and reexports all the methods.

For example, this will display a basic scatter plot:

my_plot = plot([scatter(x=[1,2], y=[3,4])], Layout(title="My plot"))

Find your username and API key in the Plotly settings.

julia> Plotly.signin("username","your api key")
PlotlyAccount("username","your api key")

Note: you may also specify your session endpoints using sign in as follows:

julia> Plotly.signin("username","your api key",Dict("plotly_domain"=> "your_plotly_base_endpoint", "plotly_api_domain"=> "your_plotly_api_endpoint"))

julia> Plotly.set_credentials_file(Dict("username"=>"your_user_name","api_key"=>"your_api_key"))

Note: your credentials will be saved within /YOUR_HOME_DIR/.plotly/.credentials

julia> Plotly.set_config_file(Dict("plotly_domain"=> "your_plotly_base_endpoint", "plotly_api_domain"=> "your_plotly_api_endpoint"))

Note: your configuration will be saved within /YOUR_HOME_DIR/.plotly/.config

Use the post function to upload a local plot to the Plotly cloud:

> my_plot  = plot([scatter(y=[1,2])])
> remote_plot = post(my_plot)
Plotly.RemotePlot(URI(https://plot.ly/~malmaud/73))

Visiting https://plot.ly/~malmaud/73 in a browser will show the plot.

Use the download function with a remote plot object to download a plot stored on the Plotly cloud to a local Plot object:

local_plot = download(RemotePlot("https://plot.ly/~malmaud/73"))
# or equivalently, local_plot = download_plot("https://plot.ly/~malmaud/73")

A plot created by Plots.jl with plotlyjs() backend has the type Plot{Plots.PlotlyJSBackend()}. To use the Plotly.jl interfeces, the plot object needs to be converted by

my_plot = Plots.plotlyjs_syncplot(plots_plot)

The object my_plot can be handed to the Cloud API descrived above.

PlotlyJS.jl , which provides the large majority of the functionality of this package, is developed primarily by Spencer Lyon.

This package, which adds to PlotlyJS.jl the functionality for interacting with the Plotly cloud, is developed by Jon Malmaud and others.
