PLOTCON 2016: Spencer Lyon, PlotlyJS.jl: Interactive plotting in Julia
[PlotlyJS.jl](https://github.com/spencerlyon2/Plotl...) leverages the unique features of Julia to bring the power of plotly.js to Julia users. PlotlyJS.jl has two main goals (1) Make it convenient to construct and manipulate any plotly.js visualization from Julia and (2) provide infrastructure for viewing plots on multiple frontends and saving publication quality plotly graphics to files. This talk will survey the capabilities of PlotlyJS.jl. Along the way we’ll pick up some Julia know-how and show some of the novel features PlotlyJS.jl brings to the plotly world.
