Downloading https://github.com/plotly/orca/releases/download/v1.3.1/orca-1.3.1.AppImage, and running it with the switch --help, it fails over SSH with no X11 forwarding.

$ ./orca-1.3.1.AppImage --help

(orca:27700): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:22:23.027: cannot open display:

As the help output is shown on the terminal, it’d be great, if no X display server was required.

Hello @paulmenzel!

Good news! Orca is no longer really the recommended way to do static image export with Plotly :)

We have a new, pip-installable tool called Kaleido which is superior to Orca in almost every way and does not require an X display server! Please check it out: https://medium.com/plotly/introducing-kaleido-b03c4b7b1d81
