Creating Complex Chart Types With Python Figure Factories

Presented Wed, May 16, 2018 by Charley Ferrari

Plotly includes many core plot types. While browsing our documentation, however, you may have noticed some require the use of "figure factories." Figure factories are used to create complex specialized chart types that are composed of Plotly's base plot types. We'll review a few of these figure factories, and talk about strategies to build your own complex plot types out of simpler types.
