Plotly

Python graphing library for creating interactive, publication-quality visualizations with 40+ chart types. Examples target plotly >= 6 and run on plotly 7.1 (plotly.js 4); see "Plotly 7 changes" below if you are upgrading older code.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the chart must be explored or shared interactively:

• Hover tooltips, zoom/pan, legend toggling, rangesliders, dropdowns, or animation frames
• Standalone HTML or web-embedded figures, and Dash dashboards
• Rotatable 3D plots (surface, scatter3d, mesh, volume)
• Exploratory analysis where readers need to inspect individual points
