#A Julia interface to the plot.ly API

Forked from astrieanna/Plotly.jl

README quickly to get started. Alternately, checkout out the pretty Julia docs at http://plot.ly/api

Installation

Given that you have Julia v0.2,

Pkg2.clone("https://github.com/shirlenator/Plotly.jl")

Usage

julia> using Plotly

You'll need to create a plot.ly account and find out your API key before you'll be able to use this package.

New user signup

julia> Plotly.signup("username","email")
Success! Check your email to activate account.

Signin

julia> Plotly.signin("username","your api key")
PlotlyAccount("username","your api key")

Plot && Open in browser

julia> Plotly.openurl(Plotly.plot(["z"=>rand(6,6)],["style"=>["type"=>"heatmap"]]))
START /bin/firefox "https://plot.ly/~astrieanna/0"

That last line is what the REPL prints out, as a Firefox tab opens with the plot. You can also just call plot by itself, and you'll get a String that's the url of your chart.

Style and Layout

julia> Plotly.style(["line"=>["color"=>"rgb(255,0,0)","width"=>10]])

julia> Plotly.layout(["layout"=>["title"=>"Time Wasted"]])
