Chart Types

If we want to describe Plotly in terms of chart type, it is Trace Modules that define the type of the chart.

To create a chart, first, we add the plotter to the page, which is a raw chart container, and the traces that are linked to it specify the type of chart.

We at Plotly have many types of charts that will provide you with wonderful features.
