Unique Features

All Fields are Optional

One of the notable features of the plotly charts is that you don't have to fill in every field to make a chart. All fields are optional, so you can customize your chart as much or as little as you want.

Being Dynamic in Everything

The plugin lets you customize everything with dynamic fields. You can use bubble expressions to set the fields and the chart will update automatically when the expression values change.

For example, you can use an expression to set the chart title, the x-axis label, the data series, etc.

For dropdown inputs, you can use the Custom JSON option and provide a JSON with the field name as the key and an expression for its value. This way, you can populate the dropdown options dynamically based on your data or logic.

Auto Type Detection

One of the cool features of plotly charts plugin is that it can handle different kinds of data. You don't have to worry about formatting your data list or choosing the right type for the axes.

The plugin can automatically detect the data type and adjust the scales accordingly. This means no need to convert texts to numbers or have challenges with date-time data type.
