I like plotly and its integration with R's ggplot, but I find that I cannot use the keyboard to interact with plotly charts or the button bar at the top of the charts. This is a concern when making websites more accessible to people with disabilities. | |
I would recommend plotly, since at least their underlying library is free. | |
I like plotly, it has a syntax that takes advantage of the magrittr package and it is easily linked to basic dplyr-functions. It does have a tidyverse-feel to it. However, it is obvious that plotly is not built for Shiny and therefore can be a little bit laborious. Furthermore I am not fully satisifed in how plotly-plots behave in Shiny apps. | |
I found plotly, it seemed to be a cool concept with a simple api, and since I don't mind my data being public their free account appeared to suit me just fine. So I started hacking away on a script that uses their API. But as soon as my data visulaization script was working, plotly managed to piss me off by showing a floater that told me that my allotted usage for today was over and that I need to fork over $19 or wait a day. They could have told me that earlier, maybe in their feature matrix. But they didn't. Well, their sneaky ways made me decide that their product isn't for me. | |
I love plotly! i often use it in place of ggplot2 especially when seeing values is important. i have a personal finance app that i built in shiny and initially used ggplot2, but switched to plotly eventually. | |
I use plotly to make SVG outcomes which then help show people things moving to pptx. The nice thing about the plotly svg is how well its written: it works perfectly as the icon form or the real view. (its also significantly nicer than the analogous design elements inside powerpoint, but I can't take people direct to SVG elements on projected things at meetings just yet)brilliant, simple to use s/w. thank you. |
