Plotly.jl

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

Install

Simply run Pkg.add("Plotly").

Usage

Plotting functions provided by this package are identical to PlotlyJS. Please consult its documentation.

For example, this will display a basic scatter plot:

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

Using the Plotly cloud

New user signup

Find your username and API key in the Plotly settings.

Signin

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"))

Saving your credentials

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

Saving your endpoint configuration

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

Saving a plot to the cloud

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.

Download a plot from the cloud

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")
