Getting started with Plotly.js

Plotly is a powerful charting library for Javascript. It offers scatter plots, line charts, statistical charts, contour plots, 3d charts and much more. It is the perfect tool for visualizations in data science applications.

In this example we will create a simple line chart. For that we will import the "cartesian" module of plotly.

As a first step we will create a div to draw the chart into. We will give the div the id "plot" to be able to refer to it later.

In the next step we use Plotly to create a line chart in the previously created div.
