10.4 Basic workings
Plotly charts are described declaratively in the call signature (function) of
plotly::plot_ly, plotly::add_trace, and plotly::layout
Every aspect of a plotly chart (the colors, the grid-lines, the data, and so on) has a corresponding key in these call signatures
Plotly’s graph description places attributes into two categories
- traces which describe a single series of data in a graph + layout attributes that apply to the rest of the chart, like the title, xaxis, or annotations
